The 2013 Houzz & Home study is the largest survey of remodeling and decorating activity ever conducted, covering:

1. Historical and planned projects
2. The motivations behind projects
3. The impact of the economy on renovation plans

The study yielded detailed data at the national, regional and metropolitan area level, which Houzz used to examine regional differences in priorities and spending. Houzz & Edge Research conducted the survey.   See the full report here.
