Dima is a visual site by nature. Outfit ideas, home decor inspiration, and seasonal roundups all rely heavily on images to help readers understand a look, a color palette, a texture, or a room layout. Because images matter so much to what we publish, we take image sourcing and creator rights seriously.
This page explains how images may appear on Dima, where those images typically come from, how attribution is handled, and what creators or rights holders can do if they find their work on the site and want credit, a correction, or a removal.
Our Good-Faith Approach to Image Use
Dima believes its use of third-party images complies with the fair use doctrine, public domain principles, applicable licenses, or permissions connected to the original image source. We do not intend to infringe on anyone’s intellectual property rights, copyright, trademarks, or creative ownership.
That said, image sourcing across the internet can get complicated. A single photo may pass through a brand page, a press kit, a stock platform, a social account, and dozens of reposts before it ever reaches an editor. We make a good-faith effort to source and credit images properly, and we correct concerns quickly whenever a creator or rights holder reaches out.
Respect for Visual Creators
We respect the work of photographers, stylists, designers, homeowners, brands, and other visual creators whose images help tell the story of a particular look or space. If you are a creator or rights holder and you see your work on Dima, we want to make it simple to reach us and resolve the concern quickly and respectfully.
How Images May Be Sourced on Dima

- Publicly shared social and Pinterest-style images — used for inspiration and roundup-style articles, generally with attribution back to the original source where available.
- Original photography — taken specifically for Dima.
Not every article uses every category above, and we make reasonable efforts to link back to an original source whenever one can be identified.
