How this site makes money.

The plain version

The Lunara Edit participates in affiliate programs, including the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. That is an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

In practice: if you click certain links on this site and then buy something, the retailer pays me a small percentage. The price you pay is exactly the same as it would have been if you had gone there directly. You are never charged extra for using a link here.

How to tell which links are which

Paid links are labeled “paid link” where you can see them. They are also marked in the page code with rel="sponsored", which is the standard that search engines ask for, and they open in a new tab. Any article containing them also carries a plain written note near the recommendations, because a machine-readable attribute is not a disclosure to a human.

Not every outbound link is an affiliate link. Plenty are just links to something worth seeing — a manufacturer’s page, a shop I have no relationship with, an app. Where a page mixes both, it says so specifically. The keyboard guide is a good example: some of those links pay me and some do not, and the page names which.

Personal use, research, and sponsorship

The products recommended in our current shopping articles are ones I have personally tried. These articles grew from my own purchase history and the things that worked in our home. My experience can help you decide what to check, but it does not guarantee the same result for someone else.

If I add a recommendation based only on research, it will say that I have not personally tested it. A product received free or at a discount from a brand will be identified as gifted. Paid sponsorship would be identified as an ad or sponsored content near the recommendation; a commission from a paid link is a separate relationship. Current articles should not be read as sponsored merely because they contain paid links.

Some room and product arrangements use AI-generated staging. Where that could be mistaken for a photograph of my home or the exact item, the article explains it. Check the retailer’s listing for the actual product, available variants, and current details.

What money does not buy

These are the rules I follow when choosing what to recommend:

• Nobody pays for a recommendation. I do not accept payment in exchange for coverage, a positive review, or a particular rating.
• Commission rates never decide rankings. Several things I recommend earn me nothing at all, and I have recommended cheaper options over more profitable ones throughout this site — the whole premise of the keyboard guide is to spend less until you know what you like.
• I write about things I have used. Where I have not used something and am going on research alone, the page says so.
• Tradeoffs get named. I describe limitations and tradeoffs that could affect whether something works for your home.
• No automated shopping lists. There are no automated product feeds and no scraped “top ten” lists on this site.

Why disclose at all

Because the US Federal Trade Commission requires it, and because you deserve to know when someone recommending a purchase stands to benefit from it. I would rather lose a commission than recommend something I do not trust, so the page tells you how I know the product and whether the link pays me.

Prices and availability

Prices change, stock runs out, and products get discontinued or quietly revised. Anything mentioned here was accurate when written, but always check the current listing before buying — and if you find something out of date on this site, please tell me so I can fix it.
