The 2013 Best of Houzz Badges Are Here!
Watch for profiles sporting this honor, which goes to professionals with the most popular design work and top ratings
Houzz awards Best of Houzz profile badges every year to the top home pros in the Houzz professional community — not only in the United States but also in Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia.
Winners are selected in two categories: Design and Customer Satisfaction. The Design winners are those with the most popular designs in 2012. Customer Satisfaction honors are determined by a variety of factors, including the number and quality of client reviews.

The annual Best of Houzz picks also reveal decorating and remodeling tastes and trends all over the world. This modern dining room in the United Kingdom highlights two key features of popular dining rooms this year: statement chandeliers and comfortable seating. Those vibrant chairs add the perfect punch of color.
The winners receive a Best of Houzz 2013 badge to add to their Houzz professional profiles. These badges help homeowners find recommended architects, interior designers, contractors and other home professionals in every metro area on Houzz.
Popular kitchens, like this one in Calgary, Alberta, tended to stick to neutral palettes in 2012. Shaker cabinetry was king in the kitchen and often came with specialized built-ins to keep awkward essentials (like spatulas and baking pans) neat and tidy.
Many of the best kids' rooms used bold and bright color in tasteful applications, as in this Austin, Texas, nursery. Many Houzzers liked more modern children's rooms that can easily grow with kids; the playful treatment on this ceiling will likely stay in style well into the tween years.
Popular living rooms came in a wide variety of styles, from very traditional to very modern. Most living spaces had a neutral palette with just a few splashes of color, like this Washington, D.C., living room. Its strong, durable materials and open floor plan also echo living room trends around the world.
The natural materials and open environment of this Australian dining room emphasize some of the key design trends of many international homes. Despite the soft color choices, the modern chandelier and large window make this room the focal point of the home.
