Summer is prime time for home improvement and renovations. Perhaps you are redoing your patio, or you simply want to freshen up your furniture and outdoor plants for a brighter look. But where should you start? Browsing some of these sites and social media pages may provide you with just the inspiration you need to get going with your home improvement project!
Of course, Pinterest is one of the first choices for people looking for design inspiration. It’s simple to create an account if you don’t already have one, and Pinterest “boards” allow you to separate your pins by category. For example, you could have one board labeled “Lawn Furniture Ideas” with different chaise lounges or colorful pillows to add some color to your yard. Or perhaps “Patio Remodel”with DIY patio projects and flower planters that catch your eye. Pinterest is the ideal pick for someone who has a lot of ideas and wants to stay organized.
And if you happen to find a few boards that really inspire you, you can follow them so that you receive updates whenever they pin new content!
Porch’s Instagram account features colorful images of different interior and exterior home settings that really pop. Scrolling through Instagram on your phone is the perfect time to get some inspiration for your renovation project. The page is filled with ideas for everything from a kitchen remodel to a backyard picnic area. Save the pictures that inspire you the most by simply taking a screenshot on your phone and storing them in a dedicated folder for home improvement ideas.
