Home décor is a visual topic. Oh So Home relies on images to show room layouts, color pairings, furniture styling, and product details that words alone can’t fully explain. Because images carry so much of the story here, we take image sourcing and creator rights seriously.
This page covers where our images come from, how we handle credit, and what to do if you’re a creator or rights holder who wants credit added, changed, or removed.
Our Approach to Images
Oh So Home believes its use of third-party images falls under fair use, public domain terms, or the license tied to each image’s source. We don’t intend to infringe on anyone’s copyright, trademark, or ownership rights.
Image sourcing online isn’t always clean. A photo can move through brand pages, press kits, stock platforms, and reposts before it reaches us. We make a good-faith effort to source correctly, and we fix issues quickly when a creator reaches out.
Respecting Creators
Photographers, stylists, designers, brands, and other visual creators do real work, and that work deserves fair treatment.
If you see your image on Oh So Home and have a concern, we want that to be easy to raise. Our goal is a fast, respectful fix, not a fight.
Where Our Images Come From
Not every article uses every source below, but these are the categories that may appear on the site.
Product & Brand Photos Articles may include images of furniture, décor products, or retailer listings shown for commentary, comparison, or styling explanation. This kind of use can qualify as fair use when the image helps explain or identify the product being discussed. We credit the brand, retailer, or photographer where appropriate. Missing or incorrect credit? Reach out through our Contact page.
Licensed Stock Photos We use paid stock imagery from platforms like Shutterstock, Adobe Stock, Depositphotos, iStock, and Canva Pro, under each platform’s license terms. These typically appear as mood boards, general room examples, or illustrative visuals when original photography isn’t available.
Creative Commons Images Some images come from Creative Commons sources like Unsplash, Pexels, Pixabay, or Flickr Commons. Where a license requires credit, we aim to include it. If a Creative Commons image is missing or has incomplete credit, let us know and we’ll correct it.
Public Domain Images Occasionally we use public domain images, from Wikimedia Commons, the Library of Congress, or similar institutional archives. Attribution isn’t always required for these, but we may still include a source note for clarity.
Original Photography Some images are shot specifically for Oh So Home, by us or by commissioned collaborators. These belong to Oh So Home or are used with the creator’s permission, and may not be reused elsewhere without our okay.
Reader & Collaborator Submissions We occasionally publish images submitted by readers, brands, or collaborators, always with permission to publish. Anyone submitting an image confirms they have the right to share it. If something was submitted without proper rights, let us know so we can review it.
Crediting Sources
When credit is required, we aim to include the creator’s name, brand, platform, or a link to the original source. Credit may appear as a caption, a note near the image, or elsewhere on the page depending on format.
If a credit is wrong, incomplete, or missing, we’ll fix it promptly once we have enough detail to confirm the correction.
If Credit Is Missing
Sometimes credit slips through, a dead source link, a page that no longer exists, or an image that circulated widely before reaching us. It’s never intentional; we don’t want to take credit for someone else’s work.
If you spot a credit issue, tell us. We’d rather fix it directly than have a creator feel overlooked.
Your Options as a Rights Holder
If you find your work on Oh So Home, you can request:
- Credit added or corrected — the image stays, the attribution gets fixed
- A display change — cropping, sizing, caption, or link adjustments
- Full removal — the image comes down entirely
Email us through our Contact page with the page link and which option you’d like.
How Fast We Respond
We aim to respond within 48 hours. Straightforward removals are often handled the same business day.
Requests that involve verifying ownership, or that touch multiple images or pages, may take a little longer, but we’ll work through them in good faith.
What to Include in Your Request
To help us move quickly, please send:
- The page where the image appears
- A link to the image’s original source, if you have one
- Proof of ownership (portfolio, photographer site, brand page, or license page)
- Your name
- How you’d like to be contacted
- Your preferred outcome: credit, display change, or removal
- Exact credit wording, if you’re requesting attribution
No legal notice needed, a clear email with these details is enough to get started.
What Happens Next
Once we get your request, we’ll locate the image, review the details, and verify ownership where needed. Then we’ll take action, adding credit, correcting it, adjusting the image, replacing it, or removing it.
We’ll follow up by email once it’s handled, so you know it’s resolved.
No Lawyers Required
You don’t need a formal legal notice to raise an image concern with us. A direct, honest email works fine, and it’s usually the fastest way to get things sorted.
