Terms of Use

Plain-English terms for using Hearthly. By using this site, you agree to the following.

Last updated: October 10, 2026.

Our content

All articles, images, and illustrations on Hearthly are our original work (or created for us) and are protected by copyright. You may:

  • Read, print, and share links to our guides freely — for personal, non-commercial use.
  • Quote short excerpts with a clear link back to the original article.

You may not republish our articles in full, sell them, or present them as your own work without written permission.

Affiliate links

Some links in our guides are affiliate links: if you buy through them, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Every article carries a disclosure notice, and our Editorial Policy explains how we choose what to recommend.

DIY and decor advice — please read

Our guides are for inspiration and general information. They are not professional interior-design, engineering, or safety advice. DIY projects involve tools, paints, electricity, and heights — always follow manufacturer instructions, wear appropriate safety gear, and hire a qualified professional for anything involving wiring, plumbing, gas, or structural work. You undertake projects at your own risk.

No warranties

We work hard to keep every guide accurate and up to date (see our Corrections Policy), but the site is provided "as is". We do not guarantee that any project will turn out a particular way, cost an exact amount, or suit your home.

Changes

We may update these terms from time to time; the date at the top shows the latest version. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept them.
