How to use Pinterest to Help Your Designer Help You
Have you ever wondered what information your interior stylist needs to really know YOU? Read to learn how you can use Pinterest to Help pinpoint your design style.
Quarantine has gotten us all more familiar with our homes than we would like to be. As we sit and look around, many of us have found that we just don’t like what we see anymore and we want a change. So, we decide to give Designing Impressions a call and ask for a design consult with an expert. We begin feeling a little nervous because, to be honest, we know we don’t like what we see, but aside from that we aren’t sure what we want! While it’s easy to say what you don’t like, it can be challenging to hone in on what are the must-haves in your space.
“Part of what makes your design style is not only the way you want a space to look, but also how you want it to feel.”
Living in an ultra modern home may lose it’s shine when your kids are wiping their cute little lips all over your glass stair railing...so it probably goes without mentioning that practicality for your lifestyle also plays a role. Many of us know what we like when we see it, and that’s why following these basic steps to create a Pinterest board before your design consult can help you get your vision across to your designer.
