About Nest Home Interiors
What Nest Home Interiors covers, how its home improvement and interior design guides are written, and who writes them.
Nest Home Interiors is an independent editorial site about improving the home you already live in. It covers the whole arc of a project: deciding what to change, finding and hiring the right contractor, planning and budgeting the work, doing the smaller jobs yourself, keeping the house maintained, and finishing rooms so they look good and hold their value.
The articles are organised into six sections. Finding and hiring contractors deals with recommendations, online reviews, trade organisations, references, bids and contracts. DIY home improvement projects splits into indoor jobs such as flooring, painting and fixtures, and outdoor jobs such as decks, siding and landscaping. Home maintenance and renovation covers the regular tasks that protect a house alongside larger kitchen, bathroom and room-addition projects. Home value and aesthetics, Trends in home improvement and Tips for successful home improvement round out the site with guides on curb appeal, energy efficiency, small-space design, smart-home devices, sustainable materials and the DIY-versus-professional decision.
Every guide is written by Mollie Mattia. Articles are researched from manufacturer guidance, trade-association advice and the experience of homeowners who have been through the same projects, then written in plain language with the practical steps, costs and pitfalls spelled out. Where a job involves structural, electrical, gas or plumbing work, the articles say so and point readers toward a licensed professional rather than pretending every project is a weekend DIY.
We are not a contractor, a directory or a store. Nothing on the site is sponsored, there are no listings to buy and we do not publish reviews of companies. The guides are general information to help you ask better questions and plan with fewer surprises; they are not a substitute for professional advice, and building codes, permit rules and prices vary by location.
