What is Houzz?

Have you heard about Houzz? If not, you're definitely in for a treat. If you've heard the buzz, you may have checked it out, or perhaps just wondered in passing if you should... well, wonder no more. We say YES, you should!

Houzz is essentially social media for design. They say they're, "a collaborative platform for home remodeling and design, bringing homeowers and home professionals together in a uniquely visual community." We say they're just plain fun. It's a pretty comprehensive website, which houses (ha!) the largest database of design photos and ideas in the world. Yes, larger than Pinterest, because that's all Houzz is - just awesome design.

So, why would you bother? There's Pinterest, and Facebook, and lots of design if you just Google it... what's different about Houzz? Well, to start with, design professionals post there - you can find great rooms designed by your favorites, or discover new ones! You can also ask them questions about their work and read reviews, so if you're considering a designer it's a great place to check them out. Who else posts their portfolios on Houzz? Oh, only everyone. People who designed rooms in their own homes, people who find design cool, even shops like Daisy Baby and Kids. In fact, go check out our album... and if you've done a room with us, please send pics we can add! We love showing off your spaces!
