Inspiration images are a fun and important part of any project, especially when you use Pinterest for interior design inspiration. It’s one of the most exciting phases of the interior design or home remodeling process. It’s where everyone in the household can select images that really inspire them and excite them. And now, thanks to technology, there’s a wealth of design inspiration out there at your fingertips.
One of the most popular online places to find inspiration images is Pinterest.
What is Pinterest?
Pinterest is a social network where users can visually share and discover new inspiration images. Each of these images is called a “Pin”. Each Pin is saved to a collection called a “Board”. These Pins and Boards can be shared with over 175 Million of the active users on Pinterest.
How to Use Pinterest
Using Pinterest is super simple, but it does take a few minutes to get your new account set up. Follow these steps to begin pinning your home inspiration images.

Saving a Pin to Your Board
Once you found an image that inspires you, hover over the image and click on the Save icon.
Select the Board
Pick an existing board or add a new board. We typically create boards after the rooms we are designing (e.g. Bathroom, Bedroom, Kitchen). Pretty creative, right?
Share Your Board
Once you have a few boards created, you can invite collaborators like your husband, wife, girlfriend, kids or your favorite interior designer in Chicago and Milwaukee (cough…Design Inside…cough). If you are looking to learn more about Pinterest boards, check out their help guide here.
