August 17, 2012 02:56:17am
There’s been lots of buzz about Pinterest lately and for good reason: Pinterest is the fastest growing social network with nearly 12 million users and counting! With this many people sharing visual inspiration, Pinterest is a designer’s playground when it comes to getting inspired. Even when it comes to reupholstering and refinishing your own furniture, there are tons of ideas to be found on Pinterest.
Discover The Hottest Color & Pattern Trends
If you explore the most recent pins on the Home Decor and DIY/Crafts sections of Pinterest, you’ll often notice color trends right away. Take a quick glance to see what colors and patterns people love. Take it one step further by re-pinning those images that inspire you to your own boards. Pinterest also shows you from where images are sourced, so you can see what other designers are doing, too.
Get a Case of “Why Didn’t I Think of That?”
Pinterest is full of images of particularly clever ideas to repurpose old items into new and fresh crafts. Whether it’s creating no-sew pillow covers or using a tablecloth as a base fabric, Pinterest opens your eyes to all the ways you can really get creative. Best of all, you can click individual images to be taken right to the source to see exactly how you can reproduce the inspiration you find on Pinterest at home.
Leave it to the Professionals
Even though there are plenty of great tips to be found when it comes to furniture refinishing and upholstery, sometimes it’s better to leave it to the professionals. Pinterest can definitely inspire you, but it can’t make your design project from scratch for you. Save time and make sure you get the job done right the first time. In fact, that’s where Pinterest is your friend: you can easily e-mail your pinboard of the look you’re going for right to a team member at Jax Furniture Refinishing & Upholstering.
