Introducing Our New Advice Section
Chances are you’ve noticed that Houzz has unveiled its new and improved Advice section! The Advice section welcomes anyone looking for helpful tips on their home improvement project, whatever their size or budget. Perhaps you’ve already had a Houzzer giving you useful advice, or you’ve shared your own experience with the community.
With The Advice section’s new look, it makes it easier to connect with other users while providing a more efficient and targeted way of exchanging ideas. Here are some exciting new features to get stuck into.
Your own personalised feed
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 can follow “kitchen”, “living room” or “bathroom” topics, depending on what’s relevant to you.
New topics
There are now more specific home renovation topics to browse and post to. From “Furniture” to “Appliances” to “DIY” and “Kids’ Rooms”, you can get involved in so many new areas of discussion.
Post to multiple topics
You can now post your questions under multiple relevant topics at the same time to get a wider range of feedback. Your post will then appear under all of these categories.
Top contributors
On the revamped desktop version, you can now view the most active community members. Check out the “Top Contributor” list to see if you’re one of them!

Comments (43)I thought I'd update everyone as to what we settled on as most of you won't have seen the finished post. Went went for Little Greene French Pale Grey on the walls and then a Grey Quartz worktop which had worked quite well. To stop it from being clinical, we opted for some textured wallpaper in the dining area which is Bala Storm (I think) from John Lewis. We then added some natural tones using a wooden table, and then Vitra chairs. Along with wooden fruit bowl etc. The main window will have wooden venetian blinds, and the bay windows will probably be done in a darker grey material as the perfect fit style blinds you find in conservatories...See MoreOur new house
Comments (3)Hello Jo, I like the green colour.. it's refreshing from the usual cream people do. But before you decide on that.. I do actually quite like the cladding.. Normally I am not a fan, but in this case it lends itself nicely. Why it's just a small piece between the windows I am not sure but you could do a lot more or all of it dare I say.. I'm thinking the Cotswolds...... Then I would have something trained over the walls.. A climber plant like clematis with the really dark purple flowers... Like the dark green for the garage and the gate (s)?... You could also have some lovely large pots with a lovely bay or olive if you get the sun.. Cherry laurel is good too for hedging if you need some..I do seem to pick this one a lot as it has large dark leaves- it makes a fantastic hedge. There is a large section of wall.. Do you plan to put in a window? Talking of windows.. Are those upvc? I would suggest painting them otherwise... and you could perhaps benefit from a new front door,as it looks a little lost as it is.. Painted in the dark green that you will have the garage and gate.. I think would help to compliment it all.. Have found a few images of styles with some glazing- I think having some painted wood would really lift it out and make the house stand out more.. Lastly you could have a nice gravel drive.. : ))...See MoreOur new apartment
Comments (3)Hello hinasrivastava, Enjoy the new apartment!... With the feature wall in every room... If the colour is not to your liking, then why not choose something you love or that you feel would work with a scheme you have in mind.. You could then do the same and then with the hallway.. Perhaps do something on a smaller scale.. Depending on the area of course.. Other ways to introduce colour to tie in, would be the furnishings... Perhaps you want to have baby blue and old silver.. So possibly some furniture in old silver or a mercury glass lamp base and baby blue shade.. Just an example but accessories too can pick up a mood or colour, especially for emphasis.. If you have a lot of doors in the hall and they are dark wood or you don't want to notice them... paint them the shade of the walls so they blend.. Indeed any doors you would rather blend into the seams of the home, can be treated in this way.. Equally they can be made to stand out.. See what you feel is right to do.. One thing... Pendant or wall lights could be nicer than spot lighting simply because it is not so clinical and a lovely feature pendant or several in a cluster with some wall lighting to accent does really give an impact and atmosphere.. : ))...See MoreJonathan
