You can pin whatever takes your fancy from Pinterest décor, interior design, DIY, recipes, photography and architecture, making Pinterest a must-have resource for any homeowner.
There are literally thousands of boards to view on Pinterest which can be quite daunting, especially if you are not sure about what you’re looking for. In this blog we’ll make all of that a little easier for you.
Quick lesson on how to grow your following
The greatest tip when using Pinterest is to pin images that are spectacular. Great images will grab your attention so if you want people to take you seriously in the interior design industry, you need to show off your slick images.
Just like Twitter, try to keep your pins consistent, bursts of pins appearing on your followers account are irritating enough for them to click the unfollow button. A great way to ensure you won’t be tempted to put too much out there is to download the browser button that will appear on your computer and is there for you whenever you spot something interesting, like a décor blog illustrating how to decorate your home like a pro, you can pin an image straight from their blog. Remember, when you come across a great interior design blog, follow them for great Pinterest décor to illuminate and uplift your life and your home.
