But the platform can give you more than just a little inspiration. There are other ways to leverage Pinterest for your interior design projects, including some surprising features and hacks.

Keep reading to discover how you can use Pinterest to take your next interior design project up a level and transform your home.

2. Find Your Next Statement Piece

There’s a reason why 93% of active pinners say they use Pinterest to plan for purchases. In addition, 87% of pinners say they’ve purchased something because of Pinterest. As a consumer, Pinterest is a great place to search for new products and ideas. Pinterest is basically a giant, online catalog of cool new pieces of furniture and decor. So, page through it and pin everything you love, the same way you flipped through your favorite Christmas catalogues and dog-eared your favorite toys as a kid.

You can make your Pinterest search as broad (e.g., home decor) or as specific (e.g., sisal area rugs) as you want to find the pieces you need. Use the Pinterest visual search feature in their mobile app or browser extension to view saved pins and highlight the products you want. This feature also allows you to search Pinterest using any image you find on the internet. Pretty cool, right?

3. Learn New Tricks From DIY Tutorials

People have been pinning tutorials on Pinterest since its inception. It’s where foodies, fashionistas, designers, and mommy bloggers alike share their best ideas and share their step-by-step process for some stellar DIY decor with other pinners, like you! 

These tutorials are a great source of information for quick and easy changes you can make to any room, like painting cabinets or restoring an old coffee table to its former glory.

Use Pinterest’s search filters to narrow down your results. For example, you can exclude certain boards and people if you just want to see the pin and tutorial steps, instead of all the extra fluff.

4. Reorganize and Revamp Your Boards

One of the best features of Pinterest is the ability to organize your pins into separate boards. There are limitless possibilities, and you can have as many boards as you want! You can arrange your boards by room, color palette, budget—anything you choose. You can even create collaborative boards and invite your friends, family members, or coworkers to add to your board.
