Editorial Policy

Who writes this

Outdoor & Coastal Home is written and maintained by Badreddine Br. This isn't a large editorial team — guides are researched, drafted with AI assistance and reviewed by a person. See the About page for more.

How we research and write

Every guide is built around the reality of Australian outdoor living: coastal salt exposure, council fire and building rules, and the fact that our outdoor spaces are used year-round rather than as an occasional-summer afterthought. Prices and retailers are checked against Australian sources — Bunnings, Temple & Webster, Kmart, Adairs, Beacon Lighting, Freedom, IKEA Australia — rather than converted from US or UK content.

We use AI-assisted tools to help with research, drafting, and editing efficiency. Every piece of advice, every price, and every product recommendation is reviewed by a human before publishing — nothing goes live unchecked.

Product recommendations & affiliate links

We recommend specific products because they're genuinely useful for Australian coastal and outdoor homes, not because of a paid placement. Some posts contain affiliate links — if you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. This helps us keep the site running and does not affect which products we recommend.

Affiliate links are marked with rel="sponsored" in the page source. We never accept payment in exchange for a positive review, and we never let affiliate partnerships influence which products appear in our guides.

Corrections and updates

Prices, retailer stock, and product availability change. If you spot something outdated or incorrect, let us know — we update posts when we confirm an error, and note significant changes in the post's "last updated" date rather than silently editing published claims.

What we don't do

• We don't publish staged, unrealistic "after" photos we haven't actually recreated in a real Australian home.
• We don't inflate prices or omit cheaper alternatives to make a paid product look better.
• We don't accept payment in exchange for a positive review.
