Melbourne Design Guide publishes articles about architecture, interiors, art, objects, and visual culture at melbournedesignguide.com. These terms were last updated on 19 September 2026.
Ideas and practical decisions
The material supports general understanding and personal exploration. It is not a site-specific architectural, structural, engineering, conservation, or valuation service. A description of a style or material does not establish whether it is suitable for a particular building or object.
Where a project involves structural work, electrical systems, hazardous materials, valuable objects, or secure installation, obtain advice appropriate to that work. A pattern sketch is not automatically ready for fabrication, and an image of a finished object does not establish how it was safely constructed.
Creative work and attribution
Articles and images remain subject to the rights of their respective owners. Reading the guide or linking to a page does not transfer those rights. Uses permitted by law remain permitted; substantial republication, commercial reuse, or copying an image may require the relevant owner’s permission.
If you believe a work has been misidentified, misattributed, or used without permission, identify the page and material and explain the basis of your concern. Send rights enquiries to [email protected].
References, links, and messages
References to an artist, practice, brand, gallery, or building do not imply affiliation or endorsement. External websites control their own information and terms. A mention in an article does not confirm current opening hours, access arrangements, events, prices, or availability.
Only send material you are entitled to share, and avoid confidential project files. Do not disrupt the website or attempt unauthorized access. Correspondence does not create a consultancy relationship or guarantee a reply or publication.
Accuracy and availability
Information and access may change, and errors are possible. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the site is provided without guarantees of completeness, continuous availability, or suitability for a particular purpose. Nothing in these terms excludes rights or liabilities that the law does not allow to be excluded. Updated terms will appear on this page with a revised date.
