Sponsored Content 

The Dekkobird blog section accepts some forms of advertising, including sponsorship and product placement. Advertisements are used to improve the blog and to offset the costs of running it. Some of the regular costs include domains, hosting, social media/promotion managing tools etc. All sponsored content is stated. Brands have little editorial control over the content I create with regards to sponsored posts (or gifted products that appear on the post). I only recommend products that I love.

The website is written and edited by Keira Marshall. If you have any questions, please use the Contact page.

Occasionally, Dekkobird Design will seek financial payment in exchange for promoting, recommending and showcasing products or services, either via affiliate links or otherwise. We may also receive compensation to feature products in our interior photographs across the blog and social media.
