Inside Houzz: Introducing Our New Advice Section
Our new redesign makes it easier than ever to follow the topics that matter to you. Here’s how
Houzz has unveiled its new and improved Advice section. This is a great place to turn to for a wealth of information from professionals, experienced homeowners and home design enthusiasts. From choosing the perfect cushions for your couch to getting suggestions on your floor plans and everything in between, the Advice section welcomes anyone looking for helpful tips on their projects – small or large.
Now with its new look, it makes it easier to connect with other users while providing a more efficient and targeted way of exchanging ideas.

The redesign also puts you, our users, front and centre. You can see the most active community members of the last day, week, or month on the revamped desktop version. Are you one of them? Well done!
By popular demand
A popular request we heard from the community was that you wanted to see whether a discussion was still active – now you can. Not only can you see when the discussion was posted, the new look now allows you to see when users last added a comment, without having to click through.

Post to multiple topics
You can now also post your questions under multiple relevant topics at the same time to get a wider range of feedback. If you are looking for clever ideas for a small living room, for example, it is possible to select multiple topics like “Living Room”, “Smaller Homes” and “Home Decorating.”
Your post will then appear under all of these categories. This way, you will reach more users who have similar experiences and tips to share, and get an even better response from the community.

The new design is focused on making the section more responsive to your needs. You can now follow topics of your choice, giving you access to a live stream of discussions that are tailored to you.
For example, you might be working on a kitchen renovation and seeking kitchen-related advice. Now, with just a click of the Follow button, you can refine your experience and tune into topics like “Kitchens” and “Remodelling,” specifically.
Desktop: You can see the topics you are following on the left-hand side. This streamlined menu makes navigating between them easy. To add to or modify the list, click “Edit” or “Explore Topics” and cherry pick the ones you’re interested in. Find that a topic is no longer relevant to your interests or project? Not a problem, you can unfollow at any time.
