It has taken me a while to get into Pinterest, but I have to say I am now totally addicted. I just love that I can stick all the great ideas I see in one place. I used to have to photograph or save and print them all into a book. This is so much easier.
I divide my boards up into rooms mainly, plus one general ideas board for 'doesn't quite fit into any other category'. I thought I would share some of my favourite finds here.
As you can see from my examples, I mix up whole rooms with bits of ideas as well as wallpaper and paint samples. All for future reference. I first found this cobalt and cream bedroom image, which I loved, then I went in search of similar wallpaper and fabric (which I found at Scion). Next time I fancy a cobalt bedroom I have all the details to hand - brilliant.

Some ideas are things I have seen, some are things I would like to do and some are things I have done, like this frame, which was a quick and cheap solution when a client needed me to style a very plain bedroom. The frame is from IKEA (£7) and the picture is actually wedding wrapping paper (50p). I put 3 side by side and made a very simple but effective temporary focal point.
For me, the best thing about Pinterest is that I can access it on my phone or laptop and just dip in and out when I need an idea, inspiration or try to visually explain what I am talking about.
If you want to nosy at the rest of my boards of ideas, please click here. If you any of the images or ideas pin them to your idea boards or feel free to follow them. I am adding new pictures and links all the time.
