9 . SMARTER HOMES
The search term ‘ smart home ’ has seen a dramatic rise in popularity on Houzz this year and has been growing as a priority for homeowners in recent years , according to Houzz research . As technology continues to innovate and more household items can be controlled remotely , we expect to see voice recognition tech used more commonly in the home , avoiding the need to touch switches , household appliances and remote controls , all common germ hotspots .
" No-touch technology is likely to become more sought-after for the bathroom , too , with professionals on Houzz reporting sensor-controlled taps and lights rising in popularity ."

10 . GROWING YOUR OWN
Another new addition to the most-searched terms on Houzz this year , ‘ vegetable garden ’ speaks to a rising interest in all things horticultural , with many dabbling in growing their own vegetables for the first time .
We expect to see this trend continue into next year , as those with even the smallest amounts of outdoor space , make use of window sills , balconies and planters to enjoy the benefits of home-grown produce .
