Using Pinterest for your Home





At D.J.’s Painting and Remodeling, we want to help you use Pinterest effectively for your home so that when it comes time to complete a home project, you can easily check your pin boards for what you like and envision for that space. Here are some tips for using Pinterest for your home!



Be Specific: Have a board for every room in your home. From the living room and master suite down to the mud room and basement laundry room, store ideas for each room that you can easily pull up when you decide that’s the next project in your home.

Be Inspired: Maybe you see something that you like on the internet or on someone else’s pin boards, but aren’t sure where it would fit in the scheme of your home. Have a board for inspiration. It may turn into an eclectic mix of things, but if there is a piece of art, a vase, or a collectible that you are in love with, you may be able to use that as the starting point for an entire room.

Keep Helpful Hints: Pinterest has a plethora of tips for the home like how to make it smell wonderful for guests, tricks to clean tricky surfaces, and time saving ideas. Have a board of helpful home hints that will serve as a reference for your home needs!

Explore:  There are thousands upon thousands of Pinterest users. Ideas are readily available on the home page of Pinterest. You may find a new website that has exactly your style of home furnishing or a blog that suits your tastes. Or, find your own sources! Search the web and add your own ideas and interests to the Pinterest world!

Pin: As you look through Pinterest and other sites, save the things you like by pinning to the designated board. If it doesn’t fit into the categories you already have, it’s so simple to create a new board! 

Make Notes: This is key. On each photo, make a note in the caption area about what it is that you like about that pin so that when you come back, you can easily remember why you pinned it in the first place!

D.J.’s Painting and Remodeling has started to use Pinterest to store ideas that we like so that we can easily have a visual aid should we think one of our customers would want to imitate a feature of that idea in their home! Take a look at our Pinterest!
