I thought I would share a recent find, I think will be of great benefit to both us and our clients. Actually this one was shared with me by one of our current clients.
Its HOUZZ a web based collection of interior design and decorating ideas. This site has over a million photos to inspire your next project and allows you to create from those photos your own collection of ideas. HOUZZers, can bookmark photos found on the site or upload their own photos into "idea books" allowing you to organize your ideas however you like and to make notations about what it is that you connect with in each photo. These idea books can then be easily shared with anyone including designers and contractors.
From a contractors side one of the biggest assets you can have is a collection of ideas and photos that help to communicate your style and express the vision you have for your project. In the past we have recommended a portfolio of magazine clippings, photos and notes that we could review with our clients, these clippings and notes help us get on track and understand the look and feel our clients are after and whats important to them. This is still a good idea, however, sharing these portfolios and making copies for everyone can become a job of its own.
Today with the Internet, smart phones and tablets we have a greater ability to organize and share information instantly. This information is also much easier to access and reproduce saving us valuable time and allowing us to communicate easier and more accurately than we have in the past.
Check it out and see what you think, but don't be surprised if find that inspiration that leads you into your next project.
