When it comes to interior design, inspiration is everywhere, we all have the potential of being interior designers. There are so many resources, inspirational sites and apps that stimulate our creativity and can help us achieve our goal of the perfect living space. After doing some research, I have found two other apps that, to my opinion, get pretty close to Houzz, and I am guilty of using them from time to time:
- Pinterest- You can honestly find inspiration for anything your heart desires. Just type in the room and style that you want and countless of images appear with links to the websites so you can shop for different designs or ideas for renovations or tutorials on how you can be the master of DIY. Pinterest is Houzz’s biggest competitor traffic wise with an outstanding 697.99 million visits and a 45.17% bounce rate in September, more than 33 times the traffic of Houzz*.
However, while you are looking through all these options, there is always the irrelevant post that comes up and might distract you from your main focus. Houzz, unlike Pinterest, only focuses on interior design and will make sure you stay on track with your research, additionally you can find an expert to help you with your project. - Wayfair- This is the closest app to Houzz and, in my opinion, its biggest competitor due to its similarities of the functions. Wayfair had over 53 million visits and a 45.07% bounce rate, in September, more than double the visits and a lower bounce rate than Houzz had, they also have great, affordable and a wonderful variety of furniture and decor to choose from, I know because I have bought several items from them. You can shop by room, style and room ideas and just like Houzz, it has a feature that allows you to see an item in your room. As great as Wayfair is, it still doesn’t offer a directory to home improvement experts, or a variety of vendors to choose your furniture from.
These great apps can serve as backups for Houzz, and it is always a good idea to have several resources, especially when it comes to your home, there can never be enough research.
