From incredible wine cellars to private cinema rooms, it's easy to see why these breathtaking homes were named winners of the Best of Houzz Awards 2018. The interiors inspiration website has rounded up the most popular photos on the platform and awarded The Best of Houzz based on three categories: Design, Customer Service and Photography.
The award-winning home designs are from the top-rated home remodelling professionals, and have given users serious design inspiration. "The Houzz community selected a phenomenal group of Best of Houzz 2018 award winners, so this year's recipients should be very proud," said Liza Hausman, vice president of Industry Marketing for Houzz.
