Editorial Submission Guidelines
HOW TO SUBMIT A PROJECT FOR CONSIDERATION
Editorial Submission Guidelines
Each issue of Design NJ includes feature stories about homes of all shapes and sizes from all over New Jersey. If you have a great house or a beautiful space to share (indoors or out), please send a brief description and photos (beautifully styled professional photos are preferred but scouting shots will be reviewed).
Description Specifications
Please share with us the location of the project, any unique design challenges and a brief summary. We’re looking for great design as well as interesting stories behind the project.
Photography and Video Specifications
We receive hundreds of submissions each year and review each one carefully.
We accept submission of photos through email, Dropbox or a file-sharing service such as WeTransfer.
We also accept short videos of projects. Videos should be no longer than 90 seconds and no larger than 1mb. They may or may not include narration by the designer and/or homeowner. MPF (MPEG-4) is the preferred file type.
Regardless of how you submit, include NO MORE THAN TWO PHOTOS PER ROOM or no more than five photos of a landscape. Please identify each space. If we accept the project for publication and you would like us to consider additional angles, we’ll discuss it at that point.
Please note that homes for consideration must be located in New Jersey and must not have appeared in a competing print or digital consumer publication, regardless of whether it was local, regional or national. If you have posted the project on Houzz or any other widely available digital platform other than your own website, you will be required to take it down until after the issue in which we have published it is off newsstands.
Please send projects for consideration to:

ADDITIONAL WAYS TO GET PUBLISHED
Each issue of Design NJ offers other excellent opportunities for publication. If you have a product, project or service you would like us to consider for publication, please send a photo and a brief description. Some regular departments cover the following topics:
New Products
Please add us to your media list so we receive information about your latest products. Keep us up to date so we can effectively report on your products as well as industry trends. Please attach or send a link to high-resolution images with your press releases.
Trend Information
The editorial staff of Design NJ carefully monitors national and regional trends in several industries. This information helps us choose which projects to publish. If you have trend information that you would like to share, we’d be happy to receive it.
Well & Biophilic design
This increasingly important category is expanding from commercial to residential design in many ways. We’re interested in hearing about projects and products that take health and well-being into account.
Sustainable Living
Products or services that help homeowners decorate and care for their homes in an environmentally friendly way are welcome. The products or services can involve interiors, exteriors or landscapes, and they should demonstrate that homes can be beautiful and comfortable as well as eco-friendly.
Expert Opinion
Design NJ supports trend information with expert opinions from respected sources. If you are interested in being considered as a source for trend research or inclusion in our editorial content, please contact us for consideration.
Tablescapes
We’re always looking for beautifully designed tablescapes, especially those with seasonal and holiday themes.
