Pinterest Board Inspiration

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at American chapter.

Pinterest has gotten really big over the past few years. If you don’t have one, you should seriously consider it. Pinterest is a picture sharing website in the form of a “pin board.” Users can discover new things, share their ideas and pictures, or just pin for fun! You can browse through photos from categories of your choosing, “re-pin” images to your own boards and “like” photos. It’s a way to get inspired, whether it be in cooking, crafting, fashion, or any other topic you’re interested in!

Here are some of my Pinterest board ideas:

  1. Food

This is a big one on Pinterest. There are endless amounts of recipes for cooking or baking. There are also crazy recipes that aren’t your every day traditional foods. It’s impossible to resist some of the mouth-watering, delicious pictures on Pinterest. If Pinterest doesn’t make you hungry, nothing will!

  1. Quotes

Pinterest is used for inspiration! What better way to get inspired than reading awesome, uplifting quotes and sayings? Trust me, it can make your day.

Whether you need motivation to stay strong during tough times, get fit and eat healthy, or just for life in general, a quotes pin board is a must!

  1. Crafts

If you’re into arts and crafts, then a craft board is a neccesity. A lot of people pin pictures of creative crafts for holidays or just for general fun.

There are also “do-it-yourself” projects that are easy to do right at home. These can range from simple arts and crafts to actual home improvement projects.

  1. Fashion & Beauty

There are tons of pictures of cute and fashionable outfits on Pinterest. It almost feels like online shopping…without actually spending money. You can find inspiration for future events such as a party, prom, or wedding, or just every day attire. You can also make a board full of beauty tips or even hair and make up tutorials and ideas.

  1. Future Home

If you’re dreaming of one day owning your own apartment or home, then Pinterest can help you be a super interior designer and home decorator. It’s never too early to start planning, so gather inspiration and pin them on your board so when that day comes you will have the coolest place around.

 

Overall, Pinterest is great for discovering things you never knew in a broad range of topics! I definitely recommend these boards if you don’t already have them. Enjoy!
