Insights: The Most-Saved Photos During Lockdown
Take a look at the rooms Houzz users were saving when time stood still and they could dream of a better home
From 11 March 2020, when the WHO officially labelled COVID-19 a pandemic, to 1 May 2020, when our ‘flattened curve’ allowed the first easing of restrictions, most of us stayed at home, schooling and working. In those endless lockdown days, Australian Houzz users evidently got busy saving photos of their dream spaces. Here, we take a look at the most-saved photos of that time and point out the reasons for their appeal.
Note: Our data covers photos on Houzz from anywhere around the world saved by Australian users during the timeframe mentioned above. The photos were uploaded to Houzz from January 1 2019 to May 1 2020. And remember, you can get more details of a project and see more of a professional’s work, including their contact details, by clicking on an image.
