How The Connected Dwelling works
How our guides are researched, how product recommendations are labeled, and how updates and corrections are handled.
The Connected Dwelling covers residential lighting, room design, audio and home technology. The aim is to help readers understand a room problem, compare sensible options and decide what is worth changing.
How guides are prepared
Research-based guides use cited primary sources, manufacturer documentation and current product specifications. Safety, health and compatibility claims are checked against the relevant public authority or technical documentation whenever those sources are available.
Articles distinguish researched recommendations from hands-on experience. A product is never described as tested unless the article says what was tested. Product pages also include the date when specifications and listed prices were checked.
Editorial judgment
Some articles are design advice or opinion. Those pieces are presented as editorial judgment, not universal rules. Measurements and buying suggestions are described as starting points when the right answer depends on the room, fixture or household.
Updates and corrections
Articles show an updated date when their guidance changes. If you find an error, send the page link and the detail that needs review through the contact page.
