Do you remember all of your dreams?
Most of us don’t and that can muddle the quest to build your dream house, which can only get started after you have a plan.
If you are looking for a way to organize your favorite features, products, styles, finishes and “wish lists” you might want to check out Houzz.com.
This inspirational site is devoted to home design, decorating and remodeling and has more than a million photographs, along with informative articles that can help you plan a project.
If you visit the site, Houzz will eventually ask you to establish a user name and a password, but there’s no fee to access this wealth of home intel.
Here are five ways you can use Houzz to help you with your homebuilding project.
- Figuring out exterior home styles, and which one is yours. Most of us aren’t all that familiar with architectural terms and that can make it harder to communicate your vision to your builder.
A section of Houzz is devoted solely to exterior home styles separated by very broad understandable categories like “contemporary” and “traditional.”
You can peruse the pictures and save the ones you like to show your buider.
- Organizing your dreams. Houzz users can create their own private ideabooks with the content they see on Houzz, whether it’s a picture of a kitchen countertop or a wall color, all of which you can share with your builder.
- Planing out your specifics. The wealth of material on this website includes whole sections devoted to such topics as kitchen backsplashes, which are the kind of thing that can become unexpectedly complicated when you are trying to make a selection that complements your countertops, cabinets, and kitchen wall color.
- See cool products you didn’t even know existed. You might not want a Japanese soaking tub but maybe you ARE interested in the hidden power outlets or the oversized ruler growth chart. Each product shown has a link to the seller.
- Find local pros. Houzz can connect you with hundreds of businesses related to the home in your geographical area.Their links include artists, kitchen and bath designers, interior designers, pool and spa designers, landscapers and custom home builders, to name just a few categories.
