My Favourite Pinterest Boards

For any of you that aren't yet a member (it's free!) of Pinterest, get yourself signed up! It is honestly one of the most inspirational tools you can have.  Even if you aren't a designer the amount of information on there is phenomenal!  I can guarantee there is something for everyone on Pinterest.  

Pinterest is an online tool for collecting information and organising pictures, tutorials or an array of things from across the internet in one place so you can easily go back to them.  It's a brilliant place to collect tons of inspirational images which you can draw ideas from.

So for example if you are thinking about redecorating your house you can have a browse through Pinterest, use the search bar to search for a certain style you would like to go for and loads of images will come up.  You can then 'repin' them onto a board of your own so you have them all in one place! The same for if you like crafts, have a search through and there are some fantastic crafts on there.

Today I'd like to share with you some of my favourite boards from Pinterest

Ones to Follow!
Wini has tons of amazing boards, from patterns to creative spaces, from books to get to craft tutorials, she is definitely one to follow for tons of design goodness!
Majo's Pattern Ideas board is full of design inspiration, I often draw from images I've found on Pinterest, sometimes the smallest object will draw your eye and spark off an idea.
Yaz Raja is a Pinaholic, which is the best way to be =) She has loads on her Pinboards and I especially love her colour and inspire me boards.
