Pinterest Board Ideas

Hi there! It has been a while since we have written a new blog post here but here we are now. One of the most difficult parts of creating a Pinterest profile is getting Pinterest Board Ideas to make the most of the platform and benefit your content.

Today, I’m going to show you just how easy it is to create a Pinterest board and give you some ideas!

If you’ve already set up your Business Account (if not, check out my post where I explain how to do it), the next step is to start uploading content—and for that, you first need a board.

What is a Pinterest Board?

Pinterest boards are like folders where you can save, collect, and organize your Pins. You should create a new board whenever you want to save Pins related to a new topic.

Let’s say you have a clothing brand—you wouldn’t put Winter and Summer outfits on the same board, right? So in this case, you’d already need at least two boards to start with!

For example, on this board, I saved drawings I’d love to create using pastels. Will I actually make them? Who knows! But dreaming is what Pinterest is for.

How to create a Pinterest board

Step-by-step guide to creating a board from your phone:

1. Open your Pinterest profile on your phone, tap the plus (+) sign, and select the board icon.
2. Give your board a title, and that’s it—congrats! You’ve just created your first board.

Note: You can always change the name later, but for now, choose something specific that represents the content you want to save.

Pinterest Board Tips & Tricks

Creating a Successful Pinterest Board

Now, let’s try a little trick to see if Pinterest understands what content you want to pin to your new board:

• Open your board and go to the “More Ideas” section.
  • This will help you see if Pinterest understands what your board is about by suggesting ideas that match the topic.
    • If the recommendations align with your board’s theme, great! You can move on to the next steps and add a description later.
      
    • If Pinterest didn’t quite get it, I recommend trying with different titles or writing a board description that clearly explains what your content is about.
      • Use relevant keywords, but don’t worry—we’ll take care of it later. For now, done is better than perfect. You’ll have time to improve it afterward!

Your board is ready, so start adding Pins! Add at least 5 Pins to begin with. Is there a limit? No! You can create as many Pins as you want. But remember, quality always beats quantity.

Important Note: Make sure your Pins are visually appealing and useful for Pinners. People on Pinterest are looking for ideas to try, buy, or create—they’re not necessarily here for entertainment like on other platforms.

Pinterest Board Ideas

I know that getting the best name for your Pinterest board is hard, but let’s try adding simple names. These are the top boards you can create or your brand:

• Brand name (and share your catalog, or some pins about your brand).
• Popular Product Category (for example, you are a furniture business and you sell desks, create a board “Desk” Board).
• Popular Topic (for example you are a content creator and have great content with Gift Ideas for Girls, then create a “Gift Ideas” board).
• Popular Moment (for example, you are selling interior decor items and you have content for Christmas, then create a “Christmas Decor” board).
• Popular Room/Occasion (for example, you sell couches, then you need to have a Living Room board, if you are selling clothes, maybe you can create a board for “wedding guest outfits”).
