About Us

 
 
 
elcome to HomePortfolio, the only Internet search site focused on home design collaboration. Our purpose is to help you imagine and create the home of your dreams. And to let you communicate more successfully with manufacturers, retailers, and design professionals who can help you get the job done.

Create a home that’s authentically you
HomePortfolio makes it easy for you to find, share, touch and feel, and act on home design ideas and options. Whether you’re working on a new house, a major addition, room renovations, or a redecorating project, we want to help you create a home that’s authentically you.

A new kind of Web site
HomePortfolio is a new kind of Web site. Our powerful collaborative search platform and Home Design Portfolio® technology speed your design, research, and decision-making process. To help you understand your options and find exactly what you want. To help you collaborate (online and off) with your design team. To help you save time and avoid costly mistakes.

HomePortfolio has spent eight years bringing together the best home design ideas, brands, products, and retailers (700,000 products, 100,000 retailers, and 1,700 manufacturer brands), all in one place. Our site offers more premium home design choices than any other source. And we’ve created unifying standards that bring order to these options, making it easier for you to create the home of your dreams.

Search that’s contextual, personal, and local
  • Contextual   Creating your dream home requires context. Use HomePortfolio’s Get Inspired section to find room designs you like. Then search for products that create a similar “look.”

  • Personal   You have a unique vision for your home. To make it real, you need to show people exactly what you want. It’s all about communication and collaboration. Create your own interactive Home Design Portfolio® at HomePortfolio.com and start saving, sharing, refining, and choosing.

  • Local   To make good home design choices, most of us want to touch and feel products before we buy them. So – starting in 1996 – HomePortfolio embraced brick-and-mortar retailers and made them a key part of our collaborative search platform. We even help you find nearby retailers that display the products you want.

What We’re Not
  • HomePortfolio is not a portal or search engine   Portals and search engines are great. But when it comes to home design choices, they often send you on a frustrating, fruitless scavenger hunt. Search engines send you off to sift through thousands of individual Web sites. Each is organized differently. There’s often more chaff than wheat. And it’s too hard to compare, share, and act on the design ideas and products you find.

  • HomePortfolio is not an e-tailer   Unlike e-tailers, we’re not focused on selling you anything. We’re happiest when you truly discover what’s best for you.

Treat yourself to better home design choices
Most of us say, “I’ll know it when I see it.” And until we do see it, many of us can’t really say what it is that we want. So being able to see and share pictures is worth thousands of words. That’s what HomePortfolio is all about.
  • Choose wisely   Discover the ideas and options that are right for you. If you choose wisely, your home design investment will serve you well for years to come. If you choose poorly, in six months you’ll want to rip out your brand new tile floor and start over.

  • Gain peace of mind   We can’t eliminate mistakes or make all contractors reliable. But we can offer you the peace of mind that comes from a better-informed, more collaborative decision-making process.
So treat yourself to better home design choices! HomePortfolio helps you understand your options. We let you communicate about choices using shared images. And we help you find the nearest retailers where you can touch and feel the products you choose.

In short, we make home design easy.

Happy searching!

All the best —
