The 'Advice' part of Houzz provides a place in which homeowners and professionals can ask questions, discuss ideas, welcome feedback/input, and show off before and afters!

You'll find Advice through the tab in the top right corner of Houzz on your desktop computer, or in the 'Latest' section of our mobile apps.

Within Advice lives a few different sections:

Design Dilemma - a place where you can post a question or dilemma
Before & After - where you can show off a transformation!
Polls - somewhere to ask a question that involves a choice, or multiple possible answers
Using Houzz - questions relating to using the platform, guides, and FAQs
Other - anything unrelated to homes, renovation or gardening
Pro-to-Pro - only accessible to professionals, where you may discuss business, trends, and trade updates

To post your own discussion, click on 'Advice', and you will land on a screen that looks like this:

Add a title: Something that isn't too long, but concisely describes what your post is about
Describe your dilemma, issue or project: Providing as much detail as you can will ensure other users are well placed to provide accurate answers
Add a photo: In addition to your description, providing visuals of the space or project will prompt people to be more responsive - everyone loves to look into other people's work-in-progress! You can either upload one of your own images, or add a photo from Houzz/your ideabook
Pick the right category: Ensuring your discussion is sitting in the right category allows it to be found easier, meaning you're more likely to get responses.

Try it out, and share your post below so we can see!

Integrating balcony with the living room
Q
Comments (6)
I will include the picture once I collect the keys to the apartment. The apartment is 1400 sq ft. and it is located on the 16 th floor. The living room and the balcony floor is at the same level. The French doors, which I intend to remove, separate and protect the living room from the open balcony. But the current owner had installed aluminum casement windows at the balcony. These windows I think will provide sufficient protection from the elements, hence the idea of doing away with the French doors. The authority would not allow us to remove the three feet high concrete wall of the balcony. The idea of the platform (a) to differentiate the living room/balcony boundary, (b) to raise the floor height so one can drink tea at the balcony and admire the view too.

If you are seeing a different format of our Discussions when logged into Houzz, do not fear, it's just one of two layouts you can choose from. If you'd like photos back in the list, follow the instructions below... There are now two views you can choose from: 1. Compact (default) Choose this option to see the most discussions on one page at a time. There is a small photo icon on the left to show which posts include their own image. 2. Standard This is the old default view and it shows a photo where there is one or more in the post. Don't forget, you can also see a different selection of discussions by adjusting the dropdown filter.. Let me know if you have any questions! Luke (HouzzAU Community Manager)

Real or render? Can you tell?
Q

It's real. Here is the before photo... Shoot was for a furniture gallery / designer so they wanted it to pop. I proposed blowing the windows out to make them white but they wanted a dramatic view. Went through about 10 different window views before the client decided on this one.
