In the summer and fall of 2014, we began launching our first platforms outside of the U.S. with a localized website and app for the UK, Australia, Germany and France. We’ve been blown away by the reception, and have already doubled our local communities of homeowners, renters, design enthusiasts and home professionals in each of these markets. We’re excited to provide the global Houzz community with access to even more inspiration, products, advice and editorial from all over the world and to be able to connect people with the best home professionals for their projects, wherever they might be.

We’re thrilled to announce the next phase of our international expansion to the rest of Europe and into Asia, starting with Japan. Together with the UK, Australia, France and Germany, a localized site, app and experience will be available for 15 markets outside of the U.S. next year!
