Clear typography and visual contrast
We aim to use legible type sizes, sensible line spacing, readable colour contrast, and layouts that remain understandable across desktop and mobile screens.
Accessibility Statement
HearthVale is committed to improving the accessibility and usability of our website so customers can explore furniture, lighting, mirrors, rugs, storage, seating, textiles, wall art, and decorative objects with greater clarity and confidence.
We aim to make the HearthVale shopping experience easier to perceive, navigate, understand, and use across a range of devices and assistive technologies. Accessibility is not treated as a one-time project; it is an ongoing effort that can improve as our website, content, and product catalogue evolve.
Accessibility work should support the complete journey, from browsing a coffee table or mirror to reading delivery details and requesting support.
We aim to use legible type sizes, sensible line spacing, readable colour contrast, and layouts that remain understandable across desktop and mobile screens.
We aim to organise headings, menus, buttons, collection links, product information, and support paths in a logical order that is easier to follow.
Where practical, interactive controls should be usable with a keyboard and should provide visible focus states so the current position is easier to identify.
Product and editorial imagery should include useful alternative text when the image communicates information relevant to furniture, decor, materials, styling, or room context.
Decorative motion should remain subtle, and reduced-motion preferences should be respected where motion is used so the experience can remain calmer for users who request it.
Customers can request assistance with product information, orders, shipping, returns, exchanges, or accessibility barriers through HearthVale support.
Content & Navigation
Furniture and decor shopping often depends on visual detail, but important information should also be communicated through text. We aim to make product names, descriptions, dimensions, materials, colours, care guidance, delivery information, and support instructions understandable in written form.
Keyboard & Focus
Customers who navigate without a mouse should be able to move through important links and controls in a sensible order. We aim to support visible focus indicators and interactions that do not depend only on hover behaviour.
Ongoing Improvements
As HearthVale content, products, and website features change, accessibility work may include design review, content review, technical checks, and customer feedback.
Check new pages, collection content, product descriptions, imagery, and support information for readable structure and meaningful labels.
Assess navigation, buttons, forms, menus, and other controls for keyboard use, focus visibility, touch comfort, and predictable behaviour.
Refine colour combinations, text sizes, spacing, and responsive layouts when readability issues are identified.
Use customer feedback to investigate accessibility issues and prioritise practical improvements where possible.
Accessibility can be affected by third-party tools, changing content, browser differences, older code, or features that are still being reviewed.
Some payment, analytics, embedded media, delivery, social, or other third-party features may be controlled by external providers. Their accessibility may vary independently of HearthVale.
New product pages, imagery, promotions, or interactive features may occasionally introduce issues that need additional review after publication.
Website behaviour can vary across operating systems, browsers, screen sizes, zoom levels, and assistive technologies.
We aim to improve accessibility continuously, but we do not claim that every page, feature, or third-party component will be free of accessibility barriers at all times.
Shopping Assistance
If an accessibility barrier makes it difficult to review a mirror, table, lamp, rug, chair, cabinet, shelving piece, textile, wall art, or decorative object, you can ask support for available product information in another practical form.
Accessibility Support
When reporting an accessibility issue, it is helpful to include the page or product you were using, the task you were trying to complete, the device or browser involved, and the type of assistive technology used if relevant. HearthVale support is available 24/7.
