Author: Joanna Tovia on Houzz

With 40 million users saving photos, browsing for ideas and bookmarking stories on Houzz each month, a pattern starts to emerge about which rooms, houses and outdoor spaces are their favourites.

That’s where the “Best of Houzz” awards come in, where the platform tallies the most-saved photos throughout the year to determine the winners – with architects, interior designers and other home professionals awarded a Best of Houzz badge for the honour.

These are our favourite eight “Best of Houzz” winners, in no particular order.
