This page explains how HolidayDecorGuide.com researches, writes and updates its decorating guides.

Our sources

Ideas and how-tos are based on manufacturer instructions, published safety guidance (for example from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and the National Fire Protection Association), widely used decorating techniques and practical judgment about what works in an ordinary home.

What we do not do

  • We do not claim to have tested or used products unless that is true.
  • We do not publish Amazon prices, star ratings or customer reviews, and we never invent ratings, quotes or results.
  • We do not copy product descriptions or other sites’ articles.
  • We do not accept payment to include or rank a product.

Use of AI tools

AI tools help draft and organize some articles. A person checks every article before publication: facts, measurements and safety statements are verified, and anything we cannot verify is removed or marked as opinion.

Products and links

When we mention a product, we describe it from manufacturer or retailer information and explain which decorating idea it fits. Prices and availability change, so we do not list them. Some links are affiliate links (see our affiliate disclosure).

Updates

We review guides ahead of each holiday and correct errors as soon as we learn about them. Contact us if you spot one.
