My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

    If you are updating or building your home for you and not necessarily for ease in resale you should do what you love. Generally stick to earth tones and make sure you keep the light in your rooms by not going too dark.
