Using Pinterest to Create Your Dream Home Office

Have you ever been searching the Internet and found a picture of an item that you would love to have in your dream office? Instead of bookmarking the site and worrying about remembering what you bookmarked it for, pin it to a virtual pin board. Pinterest is a new social media site that allows users to gather photos and tips from around the web and pin them to their virtual bulletin boards. Use it to create your dream home office.

The Basics
After signing up for a Pinterest account, set-up a board just for your dream home office. “My Dream Workspace” or “A Work-at-Home Mom’s Dream Office” would be fun and inviting, but any name you select would work fine. Download the applet for your browser toolbar to make pinning as easy as the click of a button. As you surf the Internet, make special note of any pictures, articles, or ideas that you would like to include in your dream office. Simply click the “Pin It!” icon that you have installed on your toolbar and you will be able to pin the image and the original site link to your board. You can also download the smartphone app to pin while on the go.

Fine Furniture
When you are designing your dream home office, think about the things that would make it stand out and truly feel like your own. Start by finding furniture that suits your style. Are you a fan of shabby chic decor? Perhaps a white, distressed desk or table would be perfect for you. Do you love the look of a particular style? Find examples of your dream desk, chair, and cabinet system and pin those too! There is no right or wrong, so if you are debating between two different styles, pin them both!

Accessories
How do you want to decorate the walls of your dream home office? Find the pieces, whether they are delicate watercolors or stately metal art sculptures, and pin them to your board. You can even ask others which piece they like best or put the price in the description so that you can keep track of how much your dream office might cost. Desk accessories, like staplers, lamps, blotters, and more, are also ideal for pinning.

Office Supplies
As any work-at-home mom knows, office supplies are like toys to the working woman. Colorful paperclips, fancy notepads, and handmade paperweights are all fun things to add to your board. Remember, this is your dream office, so the sky is the limit for what you pin and there is no “bad” pin.

Have fun pinning the things that you’d like to include in your dream home office. Pinterest allows you to save the things that catch your eye so that when the time comes, you will be able to remember all of the things that you would like to have in your new space. Once you fall in love with the idea of pinning your finds from around the web, you may find yourself creating virtual bulletin boards for your kitchen remodel, children’s rooms, bathroom decor, and more. Happy pinning!
