We already knew it, and now you do too! If you’ve never heard of it, it’s definitely worth reading this article dedicated to Google’s Best App of 2016. We’re talking about Houzz: an interior design app that boasts 40 million downloads!

It all started almost by chance: Adi and Alon, the two founders, needed to renovate their home. So, like anyone would, they started browsing magazines in the sector but couldn’t find what they needed. That’s when the idea for the app was born: to find a way to offer ideas and professional advice to everyone wanting to renovate. Today, Houzz has been crowned the Best Android App of the Year at the Google Play Awards, an event that recognizes the most innovative apps on the Google Store. The only requirement? The app must have released at least one major update in the last 12 months.

#What is Houzz?                                                           

Houzz is the leading online platform for interior and exterior design, remodeling, and home improvement. In 2016, it proved to be the app offering the best design, excellent user interface design, top quality, and the highest user appreciation.

Houzz is aimed at anyone interested in the field of interior design, not just professionals, which is another factor contributing to its success and making it the “Best App 2016.”

#What are its features?

Let’s take a closer look at its most innovative features:

• Photo Database: Houzz offers access to a massive collection of 10 million photos of projects from professionals on the platform. Users can browse these images for inspiration. In the “Products” section, there’s a shopping feature where you can search for furniture and decor items by category, style, and country, catering to any taste.
• Finding and Contacting Professionals: The app allows users to search for and connect with the best architects, interior designers, and other professionals in the field.
• Blog: Houzz features a blog that provides online magazines, information, tips, and articles from residential interior and exterior design experts.
• Sharing Ideas: Users can share their favorite items, ideas, and opinions within a large, active web community dedicated to the home design industry. There’s also the option to create a private “Ideabook” to keep your inspirations organized.
• Sketch Feature: One of the most popular features of Houzz, the Sketch tool is like a built-in notebook that lets you add notes, measurements, and annotations on photos or drawings. You can even apply stickers to images you select from the database.

The strength of Houzz lies in its ability to foster collaboration and creativity, allowing users and professionals to work together and help each other. It’s a true source of inspiration and ideas!
