Houzz.co.uk, the online home renovation and design platform, has announced the community’s picks for Best of Houzz 2020.

Best of Houzz 2020 is a homeowner-to-homeowner guide to the top kitchen and bathroom designers, architects, interior designers, landscape designers and other residential home improvement professionals on Houzz. This exclusive award recognises just 3% of the more than 2.5 million active home professionals and interior and architectural photographers on the Houzz platform. 

Best of Houzz is awarded annually in three categories: Design, Customer Service and Photography. Design awards honour professionals whose work was the most popular among the Houzz community. Customer Service honours are based on several factors, including a professional’s overall rating on Houzz and client reviews submitted in 2019. Photography badges are awarded to architecture and interior design photographers whose images were most popular. 

A ‘Best of Houzz 2020’ badge, specifying category won, appears on winners’ profiles to help homeowners identify popular and top-rated home professionals on Houzz locally and around the world. Winners have been announced globally. 

Ines Cid, Managing Director for Houzz UK, said: “This year’s Best of Houzz awards go to an incredibly talented and service-oriented group of home renovation and design professionals, and we’re proud to highlight the winners on the Houzz website and app.

“This award is particularly meaningful as it reflects the sentiment of the millions of homeowners in the Houzz community who are hiring home professionals for their projects across the UK and around the world.”

Emma Merry, Director of Emma Merry Styling, who won a Best of Houzz award for a bathroom design, says that the badges are a helpful differentiating factor for her to help her stand out to prospective clients looking for a designer on Houzz. 

Commenting on the recognition, Emma said: “It cements us as a design practice that will deliver a high standard from concept to completion, with a single badge.”
