Affiliate Disclosure

Transparency matters — here's how we earn and how it affects our content.

The Short Version: Some links on Cozy Living Idea are affiliate links. If you click them and buy something, we may earn a small commission — at no extra cost to you. We only recommend products and brands we genuinely love and believe in.

What Is Affiliate Marketing?

Affiliate marketing is a way for websites like ours to earn a small referral fee by linking to products and services. When you click an affiliate link on our website and make a purchase, the retailer pays us a commission. This comes at absolutely no additional cost to you — the price is the same whether you use our link or not.

Our Affiliate Relationships

Cozy Living Idea participates in several affiliate programs, including but not limited to:

  • Amazon Associates Program: We are a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com
  • Other Retail Affiliates: We may also partner with other home décor and lifestyle retailers
  • Home & Décor Brands: We occasionally partner directly with brands whose products we use and recommend

How We Choose What to Recommend

Our editorial integrity is our most important asset. We follow these principles:

  • Genuine Recommendations Only: We only recommend products we would personally use or have researched thoroughly
  • No Pay-to-Play: Brands cannot pay us to feature their products. Affiliate commissions are earned only when our readers make a purchase
  • Honest Reviews: We share both the pros and cons of products. A higher commission never influences us to recommend something we don't believe in
  • Reader-First Mindset: Our goal is always to give you the best possible recommendations to help you create a beautiful home

How to Identify Affiliate Links

We strive to be transparent about affiliate relationships. You may notice:

  • Disclosures at the top of blog posts that contain affiliate links
  • A statement like "This post contains affiliate links" near the beginning of relevant articles
  • Links to retailers like Amazon, Wayfair, Target, or similar stores

However, not every link to a product is an affiliate link. We also link to products simply because they're relevant and useful, with no financial benefit to us.

FTC Compliance

In accordance with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines, we are required to disclose our affiliate relationships. This Affiliate Disclosure is our commitment to full transparency.

Per FTC guidelines (16 CFR Part 255), material connections between bloggers and brands or advertisers must be disclosed. Our affiliate relationships constitute a material connection, and we take our disclosure obligations seriously.

Sponsored Content

Occasionally, we may publish sponsored posts or receive products for review. When this happens, we will clearly label the content as "Sponsored" or "In Partnership With." Our honest opinion is always given regardless of whether content is sponsored.

Your Trust Is Everything

We built Cozy Living Idea to be a trusted resource for home décor inspiration and ideas. Affiliate income helps us maintain the website and continue creating free content for you. We deeply appreciate your support when you use our links — it helps us keep the cozy ideas coming!
