Customize Walls With Benjamin Moore Paint Colors
Wall color helps bring a design to life. As part of a collaboration between Houzz and Benjamin Moore, pros can now choose from thousands of Benjamin Moore paint colors to customize the walls within their 3D drawings, creating an even more realistic vision of their design for clients.
“Wall colors are an important part of the look and feel of the home,” Huang says. The new tool can be a helpful way for pros to test color options with clients or match existing finishes, she says.
Adding wall color to a 3D plan is simple. “All the user has to do is select the face of a wall in dollhouse view, and there will be a button in the right properties panel that will take you to the wall color dialogue,” Huang says. The tool allows users to apply colors to multiple walls at once.

Accurately Adjust Dimensions and Resize Items
The new 3D planner also now allows for more spatial and dimensional customization. Pros can input dimensions for walls and ceiling heights. They also can resize windows, doors and furniture to exactly match product selections. Pros can use standardized, generic products within the tool to show clients size and scale, or they can choose real products they recommend from their Houzz library. “This feature allows a pro to truly space-plan and help their client understand size relationships of all the products for their home,” Huang says.

Modify Floor Finishes
Flooring also makes a design feel realistic and helps clients picture the finished space. Pros can now easily customize the floors in their 3D design by selecting from a library of wood, carpet and tile finishes. From the dollhouse view, the pro clicks on the floor surface to customize. A properties panel appears with a library of finishes. Once a pro selects the material from the library, the material will appear on the floor.
With pros’ top-requested features for the Houzz Pro 3D Floor Planner in place, Huang says her team will continue to improve and expand features in the tool to help pros work better with clients. “We’re definitely listening and doing our best to accommodate,” she says. “It’s a collaborative process. We are grateful for all the pros who offer feedback, and we would like to continue to hear from them.”
