Transparency

Affiliate disclosure.

How commissions may support our work—and the line we draw between revenue and editorial judgement.

Last updated: July 28, 2026

The short version

Some links on Habitat Journal may be affiliate links. If you follow one of these links and make a purchase, we may receive a commission from the retailer or brand. This does not increase the price you pay.

Editorial independence

Potential commission does not determine which subjects we cover, what we recommend, or the conclusions we reach. We aim to explain meaningful strengths, limitations and alternatives so readers can decide what fits their own homes and budgets.

How links are disclosed

When an article contains affiliate links, a clear notice will appear near the beginning of the page or before the relevant recommendation. Our disclosure applies whether a link points to a retailer, a marketplace or a brand’s own store.

Products and samples

If a product is supplied for evaluation, loaned to us, or connected to a sponsored relationship, that material fact will be stated in the article. Receiving access or a sample does not guarantee coverage or a positive assessment.

Questions
