DO YOU USE HOUZZ?

Many of you are familiar with the website, Houzz.com, but if you're not, it's the best photo library of all things related to your home, on the web. Interiors, exteriors, landscapes, and even products for your home. I LOVE this website and used to use it often, but then switched to Pinterest for my inspiration and forgot how amazing Houzz is.
(even though it might sound like it, this post is NOT sponsored)


I recently set up my professional profile on Houzz and am thinking about advertising with Houzz, but before I do I am curious to hear from you whether you use this website/app and what you think about it.

I will tell you why I am going to be using Houzz a lot more from now on:

The search engine on Houzz is better than Pinterest for finding what you want - no repeats of photos, and photos of exactly what you want.



versus Pinterest (not sure how the first photo even relates to my search for a pool house?!)


I love the "LOCAL PROS" feature - great for finding contractors, architects, landscape architects, and yes, even designers! (and I like how there are reviews of the contractors as well)


I like how the photos have price tag icons that tell you where they purchased the items in the room.

 
I love how easy it is to find products for your home on this website and how it is separate from the other photos (unlike Pinterest). I found this fantastic bookshelf from Room + Board that I never noticed before - LOVE!


And I of course love the ideabooks (like Pinterest folders) that I can create. I also like looking at other ideabooks other designers create.


 Ideabooks with a theme created by another designer:

 
So now that I've given you a little tour of Houzz, what do you think? What is your favorite thing about Houzz? Do you use it? How often? I would LOVE to hear what you think!!
