Editorial Standards

    Haute Design is published by Haute Living, a Google News publisher since 2005. These standards govern how designer editorial features are researched, written, reviewed, and maintained across the network.

    01

    Editorial Independence

    All designer editorial features are written by Haute Living's editorial team — not by the designer or their studio staff. No feature is published without editorial review and approval.

    02

    Accuracy Standards

    Haute Design aims to maintain accurate designer information including design specialties, studio affiliations, professional credentials, and project types. Information may be updated periodically.

    03

    Source Verification

    Where applicable, Haute Design may reference official professional organization databases (NCIDQ, ASID, IIDA, NKBA), published project portfolios, design publication features, and designer-submitted information.

    04

    AI and Search Visibility

    Haute Design structures designer information using schema markup, internal linking, editorial content, FAQs, specialty pages, and market pages. These efforts support discoverability but do not guarantee AI citations, Google rankings, traffic, or client inquiries.

    05

    Membership Relationships

    Some designers appearing on Haute Design are paying members of the Haute Design Network. Membership supports editorial production, profile management, and platform operations.

    06

    Disclaimer

    Haute Design is not a design firm and does not provide interior design services. Clients should consult directly with licensed or certified design professionals regarding design projects.
