Write for Us Home Decor: Home Decor Blog Guest Post Guidelines

Most home decor pitches are seasonal trend lists that look the same on every site. What this blog wants is the working view: how a small decor brand found its first customers, how a stager made a room sell faster, how a home office was set up so the owner could do better work in it, and what the reader should do next.

My readers are business owners, founders and creators, and many of them run their business from home. They read my guides to smart decor ideas for a home office, modern kitchen design trends and AI tools that mock up a room before you buy anything. A home decor post has to help them make a space work better, or help a decor business grow.

60-second home decor guest post check

A strong submission can answer yes to all five points:

• Have you styled, staged, sold or finished the space you are writing about
• Can you show a real before and after, with what you changed and why
• Does your opening answer the reader's question in the first two lines
• Would a homeowner or a decor business owner know what to do after reading it
• Have you removed any sales pitch for one brand, shop or product

Read the guidelines and submit your guest post.

What we publish

• Room makeovers with the plan, the choices and the result, from the person who did them
• Home office set ups that help people focus and look good on camera
• How a decor brand, homeware shop or stager found and kept customers

If your post could be published on any home decor site with the logo swapped, it is not for us.

• Previously published posts republished from another site

What you get

• Your article in front of an engaged audience of business owners, marketers and founders
• One relevant, contextual link back to your own site
• A byline and the credibility of an established, high-traffic blog
• Editorial help to make the piece as strong as it can be before it goes live

How to submit

Send your pitch or draft through the contact form. Include the topic, the one specific problem the post solves, and a line on your first-hand experience with it. One idea per pitch works best. You will hear back on whether it is a fit before you write the full draft.

What a strong home decor pitch looks like

A weak pitch says "I want to write about ten decor trends everyone will love this season." A strong one says "I stage homes for sale and I want to show the five changes I make in every living room, why each one works on buyers, and the before and after notes from three recent projects." One is a brochure. The other is worth reading.

The angles that get accepted fastest

• A room makeover with the plan, the choices and the result
• Decor mistakes a stager or stylist sees every week, and the fix
• A home office that works on camera and off it
• How a small decor or homeware brand grew its first customer base
• Styling a rental without losing the deposit
• Secondhand and vintage sourcing that saves money and looks considered
• Colour and lighting choices explained with real rooms
• Planning a room with AI or visual tools before spending a penny

Frequently asked questions

Does Lilach Bullock accept home decor guest posts?

Yes. Home decor guest posts are welcome from stylists, stagers, decor brand founders and homeowners who have finished the space they write about. We publish practical articles with real examples and decline trend lists and brand promotion.

What home decor topics do you accept?

Room makeovers, home office set ups, styling small spaces and rentals, lighting and colour, secondhand and sustainable decor, and growing a decor or homeware business. The common thread is a real project and a lesson the reader can use.

Is this different from the interior design guest post page?

Yes. This page is for decorating and styling, the choices people make with furniture, colour, lighting and accessories. Professional interior design practice suits the interior design page better, but every pitch reaches the same editor.

How long should a guest post be?

Most accepted posts run between 1,200 and 2,000 words. Length matters less than usefulness: a tight 1,200 word post with one clear lesson beats a 3,000 word overview every time. Use short paragraphs, clear subheadings and at least one real example.

Can I include a link back to my own site?

One contextual link back to your own site is fine when it is relevant and helps the reader. Posts written purely to build a backlink with no real value for the reader are not published.

Do you accept previously published content?

No. Every submission must be original and not published anywhere else first, including your own blog, Medium, LinkedIn or a guest slot on another site. Republished or lightly reworded content gets declined, and we check before anything goes live.

Can I use AI tools to help write my guest post?

You can use AI to help with research or tidying your draft, but the experience, examples and opinions must be yours. Posts that read like generic AI output, with no first-hand detail, are declined.

Do you accept sponsored or commercial partnerships?

Commercial and partnership enquiries are handled separately from editorial guest posts. If you are a brand or agency wanting to work together rather than pitch an article, say so in the contact form and you will get the right details back.

How long does a decision take?

We aim to come back to you within a few working days. If the pitch is specific and clearly written, with the result in the first line, the decision is much faster.

Do you edit guest posts before they go live?

Yes. Every accepted post gets an editorial pass for clarity, structure and accuracy, and you may be asked for an extra example or a missing number. The aim is to make your piece as useful as it can be, not to change your voice.

Can I pitch more than one idea?

Yes, but send them one at a time or as a short numbered list with one line each. The strongest pitch goes first, and a single clear idea with a real result almost always beats several vague ones.

How do I submit a home decor guest post?

Send your pitch through the contact form with the topic, the specific result or lesson you will cover, and a line on your own experience styling, staging or decorating the spaces you are writing about. One idea per pitch works best, and you will hear back before you write the full draft.
