What We’re Looking For
HouseStructures focuses on practical home design content that helps our readers build better houses and make smart choices. We want writers who can share real experiences with building techniques, design ideas, and renovation projects.
Topics We Love
Home building from the planning stage to finishing the home, with articles on customary Mexican architecture and home building, Victorian home interior design, and what Mexican houses are made of. Learn more about the interior design of landed houses, including layouts, materials, and costs, too.
Interior topics are popular with our readers, such as space planning, stair design in small spaces, and kitchen design in limited spaces with a corner stove. Modern European kitchen design ideas, including measurements and safety information.
HouseStructures also needs information on stucco house exterior projects, if you can put siding over stucco, how to construct a mobile home roof, modern luxury swimming pool designs, low maintenance pool landscape designs, and other relevant subjects. Here are 7 great basement design ideas, with examples. These examples are based on facts.
Content Types Accepted
How-tos, design reviews, building tutorials, education, and list posts such as “10 Best Ideas for Small Stairs” all work well with our readers. We will consider everything from beginner how-tos to advanced techniques, depending on the author’s expertise.
Design reviews should be candid while constructive, and provide benefits, costs, and sourcing details. HouseStructures is known for its photo guides, which document how to do a task step-by-step.
Tell us about how you built a house on the rock. Share your tasks, your expenses, and your gains.
Submission Guidelines
HouseStructures has simple rules to help you write content that our readers will love. Follow these guidelines to increase your chances of getting published.
Writing Style
For home design inspiration, find styles you like online and search for ideas for the rooms you want to design. It is advisable to avoid technical language without clear definitions first. Use 2-3 sentences per paragraph.
Be honest about the good and bad. HouseStructures readers don’t want to hear marketing speak. It also details things like materials, prices, and when projects are complete.
Pay attention to safety. Readers should also check their local building codes under advisement and consult professionals before undertaking large projects. People matter to us more than product sales.
Formatting Requirements
Use headings and list points (like ‘this or this’) to break up your writing into distinct sections. When relevant, link to other website sections.
Articles should be from 800 to 2000 words in length. They should have between three and five subheadings within. HouseStructures prefers short paragraphs and plenty of whitespace.
We ask for Google Docs or Word docs and suggested images/photo ideas. We do all final formatting, but having a basic structure helps us to edit work.
What You Get in Return?
We always include the author byline, bio, and links to your website or social media. Building guides and construction content usually pay more than a simple design review.
All authors have a profile with links to their personal website or social networks. HouseStructures shares popular ones through our social networks to give you credit for your work. When you build a portfolio with us, more writing opportunities open.
Let our editors help you polish your writing without compromising your voice. Our editors all have wide-ranging writing and design experience in addition to their editing skills.
