Effective Date: September 2026
Home decor is naturally a visual subject. From room inspiration and wall art to furniture, styling ideas, creative projects, and product imagery, photographs and graphics play an important role on The Megha Edit Co. We take image sourcing seriously and want to be clear about where the visuals appearing on our website and related content come from, how we approach copyright, and what you can do if you believe one of your images appears here without the right credit or permission.
Our intention is always to respect copyright and intellectual property rights. Where third-party images are used, The Megha Edit Co believes that their use is made in good faith under applicable copyright principles, including fair use where applicable, or because the image is in the public domain or is being used under an applicable license. We do not intend to infringe the copyright or intellectual property rights of photographers, artists, designers, brands, or other creators.
We Respect the People Behind the Images
A photograph, illustration, graphic, or design can represent considerable time, creativity, skill, and work by the person who created it.
At The Megha Edit Co, we respect photographers, illustrators, graphic designers, artists, brands, and other visual creators. We understand that finding your work on another website without the treatment or attribution you expected can be frustrating.
This page is intended to make our approach transparent and to give creators a simple way to contact us if they have a concern.
Where the Images on Our Site Come From
There is no single source for every image used across The Megha Edit Co. Depending on the article, project, Pinterest content, or other publication, images may come from several different categories.
We aim to use visuals responsibly and according to the rights, permissions, licenses, or circumstances that apply to them.
Original Photography
Some images may be photographed or created specifically for The Megha Edit Co by the site owner or contributors working with the site.
Where an image is created specifically for the website and owned by us, we retain the applicable rights to that original work.
Original home decor photography may include rooms, styling details, decorative objects, DIY projects, materials, or other visual content created for editorial purposes.
Public Domain Images
We may also use images that are in the public domain.
Public domain material may include works whose copyright protection has expired or works that have been intentionally dedicated to the public domain by their creators.
Sources of public domain or openly accessible institutional material can include resources such as:
- Wikimedia Commons
- Library of Congress collections
- Smithsonian Open Access
- Other institutional archives and public collections
When using material from these sources, we still make reasonable efforts to understand the applicable usage information and any source-specific requirements.
Creative Commons and Similar Licensed Images
Some visual material may be available under Creative Commons or similar open licenses.
Depending on the specific license, this can include material from platforms and collections such as:
- Unsplash
- Pexels
- Pixabay
- Flickr Commons
- Other repositories offering appropriately licensed visual content
Not every image on these platforms necessarily has the same usage terms. A Creative Commons license can have conditions relating to attribution, modification, commercial use, or sharing under the same license.
For that reason, The Megha Edit Co aims to follow the specific license terms that apply to the image being used rather than treating every openly available image as having identical permissions.
Paid Stock Photography
Where appropriate, images may be obtained through commercial stock photography services.
Examples of stock libraries and creative platforms include:
- Shutterstock
- Adobe Stock
- Deposit photos
- iStock
- Getty Images
- Canva
When an image is licensed from a commercial stock service, it is used according to the applicable license or usage terms associated with that service.
Licensing terms can differ between platforms and between individual products or plans. We do not treat a stock image as freely reusable simply because it can be found online.
Brand, Editorial, and Press Images
Home decor content sometimes involves products, brands, designers, retailers, or other recognizable subjects.
In appropriate editorial contexts, an image relating to a product, brand, or public figure may be used for purposes such as commentary, criticism, reporting, explanation, or discussion where the circumstances support such use under applicable copyright principles.
Where attribution is appropriate or required, we aim to identify the relevant brand, creator, photographer, or original source.
The appearance of a brand or product image on The Megha Edit Co should not automatically be interpreted as a statement that the brand has sponsored, endorsed, or partnered with the website.
Images Submitted by Readers or Collaborators
Where applicable, images may also be submitted by readers, contributors, collaborators, or other individuals for consideration.
We expect anyone submitting an image to have the appropriate right or permission to share it with us.
Where an image is accepted for publication, the submission may include permission for The Megha Edit Co to display it in connection with the relevant article or website content.
If you submitted an image and later have a concern about its use, please contact us so we can review the situation.
How We Handle Attribution
When an image requires attribution, The Megha Edit Co aims to provide appropriate credit to the original creator or source.
Depending on the applicable license or circumstances, attribution may include:
- The creator’s name
- The photographer or artist’s name
- The original source
- A link to the source where practical
- Other credit information required by the applicable license
We also aim to correct attribution information when an error is brought to our attention.
If a source link has stopped working, information has changed, or a creator identifies an attribution problem, please contact us at megha@thehomeeditco.com.
Sometimes Attribution May Not Be Complete
With a growing collection of articles, Pinterest content, and visual resources, there may occasionally be an image where attribution is incomplete or incorrect.
This can happen because a source link has broken, an image has been reposted or circulated without its original information, attribution details were unavailable when the image was encountered, or a simple oversight occurred during publication.
It is never our intention to take credit for another person’s creative work.
If you believe your image has appeared without appropriate attribution, please contact us. We would much rather have the opportunity to correct the information than leave a creator’s concern unresolved.
