Excitingly this week we were told that we’ve been shortlisted for a ‘Best Of Pinterest’ Award. Yasss! We’ve seen lots our peers win these before in the past and have always thought it would be amazing to get our grubby hands on one too. So we’re totally beyond ourselves to have been shortlisted. Especially because we’re really new to Pinterest – we’ve only really been getting to grips with it in the last month. Shameful we know…but we are totally lo.v.i.n.g. it now! We’re up for ‘Best Home Styling Tips’ and will be creating a special board (with our pins only) to submit to the judges. To celebrate this, we’ve decided to compile a list of our favourite Pinterest accounts which you should be following for your daily decor dose! Plus we’ve done our research and compiled our top tips for gaining a following and get your pins seen – we’ve gained 100 followers already this month.

OUR TOP PINTEREST TIPS TO INCREASE YOUR FOLLOWING

- Use the Pinterest Widget Builder to add boards to your blog posts. Exactly as we’ve done in this post. People are more likely to follow / view your account if it’s easily accessable.

- Add descriptions to your pins and make them keyword rich rather than adding hashtags. In the descriptions think of words that that people may type in to find that sort of pin. Add just one hashtag. here.
[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″ parallax=”off” parallax_method=”on”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.0.95″]
- When you upload your images, make sure the files name are not something like ‘IMG_1563’. Re-name them to something like ‘scandi dining room’ or ‘blue bathroom design’. This tells Pinterest what the image is and it will become a more findable pin.

- Use a scheduling app like Tailwind or Viralwoot (acknowledged as legit by Pinterest) to schedule pins at regular times. Pinterest likes accounts that are regularly active and pinning, so these are great if you’re pushed for time.

1. Style At Home
We love anything Style At Home does. So, naturally their Pinterest account is a great place to find all of their top tips, DIY’s, house tours and more in one place. We really love their hands-on and down to earth approach to interior design – and what’s more – it’s always affordable and realistic for us normal folk too. Our favourite thing though is that the boards are categorised into ‘LOVE IT’, ‘MAKE IT’ and ‘DO IT’ which really make you want to jump in and start a new project!

10. Annie Sloan Home
It was my (Athina’s) boyfriend that introduced her to Annie Sloan. Weird, we know..but so grateful! Annie does the most amazing range of paints for furniture, that don’t require priming or any sanding etc. If you just want to go straight into painting on furniture, then you can. Sometimes we’re impatient and can’t be bothered for all the pre-prep-crap, am I right? That’s why we love her Pinterest account as there are so many amazing colours and images to gawp over. Thanks Annie!
