Write for Us Interior Design: Interior Design Blog Guest Post Guidelines

Interior design content online is mostly pretty pictures and trend predictions. What this blog wants is the business behind the room: how a designer finds clients, prices a project, handles a difficult brief, told by someone who runs a studio.

My readers run small businesses and personal brands, and some of them are designers, stagers and makers selling to homeowners. They want to win better clients and run a profitable studio, so an interior design post has to come from real projects.

60-second interior design guest post check

A strong submission can answer yes to all five points:

• Do you run or work in the design business you describe
• Do you have a real project, a fee or a result to share
• Does your opening answer the reader's question straight away
• Have you removed any pitch for one brand

Read the guidelines and submit your guest post.

What we publish

• How a design studio found its best clients, with where they came from
• Pricing a design project so it stays profitable, with the model you use
• Home staging that sold or let a property faster, with the figures
• Using Instagram, Pinterest or a portfolio site to win work, with results
• Managing a client brief that went wrong, and what you changed

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

What we don't accept

• Mood boards and trend lists with no lesson
• Promotion of one brand, product or studio
• Generic decorating tips anyone could copy
• 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 interior design pitch looks like

A weak pitch says "I want to write about the top interior design trends for next year." A strong one says "I moved my studio from hourly billing to a fixed design fee plus a sourcing margin and my average project value doubled in a year, so I want to show the proposal template, the client reactions and the numbers." One is a brochure. The other is worth reading.

The angles that get accepted fastest

• Finding better design clients
• Pricing a design project
• Staging that sold faster
• Winning work from a portfolio
• A contrarian view on trend forecasting

Frequently asked questions

Does Lilach Bullock accept interior design guest posts?

Yes. Interior Design guest posts are welcome from writers who have done the work and can share what happened. We publish practical articles with real examples and decline mood boards and trend lists with no lesson for the reader.

What interior design topics do you accept?

We accept running a design studio, pricing and proposals, home staging, portfolio and social marketing, and working with trades and suppliers. The common thread is a specific lesson with a result attached, not a general overview.

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 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 under a different name. Republished or lightly reworded content gets declined, and we check before it goes live.

How do I submit an interior design 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 doing the work you are writing about. One idea per pitch works best, and you will hear back before writing a full draft.

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 should an interior design guest post be?

There is no fixed word count, but posts that do well here usually run from 1,000 to 1,800 words. Long enough to show the example and the numbers, short enough that a busy owner finishes it. Cut anything that repeats what the reader already knows.

What makes an interior design pitch stand out?

A real result in the first sentence. Say what you did, what changed and over what period, then say what the reader will be able to copy. For example: I moved my studio from hourly billing to a fixed design fee plus a sourcing margin and my average project value doubled in a year, so I want to show the proposal template, the client reactions and the numbers.
