The results are in! The Best of Houzz 2017 winners have been announced. Last year, thousands of photos from the work of home builders, architects, interior designers and other residential renovating professionals were saved to ideabooks for inspiration. The Best of Houzz design badges on professionals’ profiles reveal the best-loved projects on Houzz. If you see one of these awards, it means that one of his or her designs was voted by you (with your clicks) as one of the most popular photos of 2016.

Awards were given in two categories: Design and Customer Service. If you see a green Design badge on a professional’s profile page, that means one (or more) of the portfolio images was among those that were added to the most ideabooks in 2016. Additionally, architecture and interior design photographers whose images were most popular have been recognised with the Design Photography award.
These badges help homeowners find recommended architects, interior designers, tradespeople and other home professionals in metro areas across Australia and the rest of the world.

This Sydney kitchen was among the most popular images added to ideabooks by users in 2016. Vitale Design built a comfy breakfast nook in the corner of this open-plan kitchen, creating a sociable setting for friends and family to linger.

One of the most popular bathrooms on Houzz last year – and the most popular in Darwin – this sun-drenched outdoor bathroom by DM2 Architecture is a prime example of how Australian Houzzers like to blur the indoor-outdoor lines.

On the other hand, the popularity of Anna Marie Chin Architect Ltd‘s cosy living room may suggests that New Zealanders do things differently. This Alpine-style space brings light and stunning views inside, but without compromising on the warmth.

Looking for bedroom inspiration? This contemporary take on beach style by Tailored Space Interiors may be just the ticket for your 2017 makeover. The pairing of blush pink soft furnishings and rose gold accessories against a backdrop of light grey made this bang on trend last year – no wonder it was saved to over 6000 ideabooks.

This charming outdoor room is right at home in the balmy heat of Western Australia. Collected Interiors created a tropical-style space with leafy palms, earthy tones and rich natural materials, such as the textured rug and warm, timber decking.

Houzzers fell in love with this fantastic child’s play space in Melbourne and added it to over 26,000 ideabooks. ‘The Net’, reached from the ground floor by a set of steps, enables young (and not so young) climbers to bounce, read, draw and dream. Not too shabby for a design thought up by 8-year-old twins.

Pros also received badges for Customer Service, determined by a variety of factors, including the number and quality of client reviews received in 2016. Just look for a grey Service badge on the left-hand side of a professional’s page.
