317 // Usinig Pinterest for home decor inspiration? Use it INSTEAD for this!

Hey friend!

If you're only using Pinterest to pin pretty pictures, you may as well STOP using it. Using Pinterest as an effective tool in home decorating is more than being able to recognize a beautiful interior landscape.

And if you're NOT using Pinterest because you don't want to be on social media...I have news for you. Pinterest isn't social media - it's a search engine...just like Google.

Using Pinterst effectively and strategically for home decorating starts with understanding HOW to use it besides earmarking beautiful photos. Instead try these ideas:

1. Use it for inspiration! Check...you got this. You're likely already an expert. :)

2. Use it to learn the details of your design style.

3. Use it as a resource for learning more: location of sourced items, tutorials, etc. Pinterest is designed to get you OFF the site (unlike social media where it's designed to keep you scrolling). The goal...give you an idea then the direct link to learn more about it.

4. Use it to shop and for brand awareness.

5. Use it to refine your search terms.

 

How NOT to use Pinterest:

Do NOT use it to copy & paste. BIG no-no as this is the number one way you can make your home look opposite of cohesive.

 

Happy styling!

xo,

dani
