About Interior Design Germany

What Interior Design Germany publishes and for whom

Interior Design Germany publishes English-language reference articles on the German standards, tenancy rules and price data that shape a home in Germany, written for residents who read English and deal with German contracts, quotes and forms. The site went online on 13 September 2026 in three sections: Building standards, Renting and tenant rules, and Costs and subsidies.

The readers the editorial team has in mind are relocated employees, international students, families who have moved to Germany, and the relocation agents and property managers who advise them. A typical question is practical: whether a landlord may demand repainting at move-out, how wide a door must be for a wheelchair, what a fitted kitchen costs in 2026, or which KfW programme funds a level-access shower.

How the articles are written

Every article is built from documents that the editorial team fetched and read before writing: the text of a DIN standard or a chamber-of-architects planning guide, a section of the Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch (BGB, the civil code) on gesetze-im-internet.de, a Bundesgerichtshof (BGH, the federal court of justice) press release with its case number, or a dated price survey. Each figure carries the year it refers to, the currency, and a link to the page it was taken from.

German terms appear in parentheses on first use, for example Schönheitsreparaturen (cosmetic repairs) or Handwerker (tradesperson), so that a reader can search a German document for the same word. The articles use British English spelling. Claims that the editorial team could not source from a published document are left out rather than estimated.

What the site does not do

The site does not sell interior design, renovation or legal services, does not accept paid articles or sponsored links, and does not recommend individual contractors, law firms or shops. The articles are reference material and not legal, tax or engineering advice for a specific case; a tenancy dispute or a building application in Germany needs a lawyer (Rechtsanwalt) or an architect who knows the file.

The publisher is Interior Design Germany, reachable at info@interior-design.com.de. The editorial policy describes source selection and corrections, and the legal notice names the publisher and the hosting arrangement.
