Dona Living is a home living resource created to help everyday people make better decisions about their spaces, routines, and household technology. The site was founded in 2025 by Dr. Caroline Whitmore, who saw a gap between academic research on home environments and practical advice that actually works in real homes.
We publish detailed guides on smart home technology, organization systems, cleaning routines, and home maintenance. Every article is written to be useful first — no filler, no vague suggestions, and no recommendations we would not follow ourselves.
Who We Are
Dr. Caroline Whitmore leads the editorial direction of Dona Living. She holds a Ph.D. in Environmental Psychology from the University of Surrey, where her research focused on how physical home environments influence daily behavior, stress levels, and productivity. Before starting this site, she spent ten years working in residential interior consulting and home efficiency planning, helping families and remote professionals redesign their living spaces for better function and comfort.
Her approach combines academic research with hands-on household experience. She tests smart home devices, evaluates storage systems, and observes how real families maintain their homes — then writes about what actually works.
What We Publish
Our content covers three main areas:
- Smart Home Technology: Beginner-friendly guides to devices, ecosystems, and automation that solve real problems.
- Home Organization: Practical methods for closets, offices, and daily spaces — designed for real homes, not magazine spreads.
- Maintenance and Cleaning: Routines and checklists that prevent costly repairs and keep households running smoothly.
All articles are informational and intended for educational purposes. We do not provide professional installation, electrical, or HVAC advice. Readers should always consult manufacturer instructions and qualified technicians when safety is involved.
How We Work
Every guide on Dona Living is researched independently. When we mention products or brands, we do so based on hands-on evaluation, technical specifications, and real-world testing — not sponsored placements. We do not accept payment for positive coverage, and we disclose any affiliate relationships where required by law.
We update our content regularly to reflect changes in technology, pricing, and availability. If you spot outdated information, we encourage you to let us know.
