Standard Features

We have 5 standard article types and two additional opportunities:

PRODUCT

Want to shout about a new product launch? This is one way you can do it. We interview the design team behind the product asking about the concept, inspiration, production and environmental considerations.

PROJECT

Completed a project you want everyone to know about? Let us know and we can put together a case study article involving the interior designer and the end client. We can also include a Product Focus section which highlights the specification of the products supplied.

PEOPLE

An interview with your design team or collaborating designer is a fantastic way to show the personality, passion, knowledge and expertise behind the product and brand, adding that human element that is often missed.

SUSTAINABILITY LEADERS

We talk to your team members who focus on sustainability within your business. Tell our readers your sustainability story, how you’re meeting targets, what you’re aiming for and the next steps towards achieving a more sustainable future.

OPINION

Do you have knowledge and expertise on a specific topic and want to tell our readers about it? Email us with your idea and we will you bring the piece to life. Our columnist series is also a great way to publish regular pieces on a topic you’re passionate about.

Monthly Editorial Series

WORKPLACE MATTERS

Our Workplace Matters monthly series, launched in 2025, aims to explore the future of the workplace through the lens of thought-provoking, knowledge-based, and challenging content. Our 1st person content achieves greatest engagement from our readers.

YOU’RE INVITED!

You’re Invited is a creative and engaging monthly series by Design Insider that invites contributors to imagine their dream dinner party. Blending the concept of a “dream dinner party” with the inspiration behind the radio series My Cultural Life, this series offers a glimpse into the minds of creatives through their chosen guests, venue, and menu.

JOYFUL SPACES

Joyful Spaces is a Design Insider monthly series celebrating the commercial spaces that bring us joy. Outside of our homes, we spend much of our time in commercial spaces, and they should enrich our lives and spark joy. This series will form a collection of inspiring spaces, chosen by designers and professionals who share their personal connections to the places that brighten their days.

RE-DESIGN vs DESIGN PERFECTION!

Re-design vs Design Perfection is a NEW Design Insider monthly series exploring the balance between critique and celebration in design. Each month, we invite industry professionals to reveal two sides of their design perspective, one object they believe needs a re-think, and another they consider a flawless example of design perfection.
