Houzz and Pinterest are two compelling sources of online inspiration for Canadians. While Pinterest is used to find inspiration in various areas, such as decoration, beauty and recipes, Houzz is completely devoted to interior design. The two social media respectively reveal some data each year based on the behavior and usage of their users. We can thus learn in its Analytics tool that Pinterest users use the platform mainly for DIY and DIY ideas (67%) and inspiration for interior design (67%). As for Houzz, a survey of 16K Canadians in 2018 reveals that 71% of people who want to improve their interior are motivated by the desire to have a trendy design and to feel good at home. Although the two platforms do not reveal the preferences of Canadians according to the habits of use, one can always trust the data revealed by the search engines by knowing a little more about the preferences of each province.

The contemporary style is also the 3rd most popular style for all the provinces.
