A great starting point for the designing process

How to Use Pinterest To Get Inspiration For Your Home - Graphic.png

When remodeling or choosing to build your new home, it’s hard to know where to begin. For many people, there are so many styles that seem appealing and it can be difficult to decide what you like best.

Take, for example, cabinets. What color of cabinets will you choose? Would you rather them appear wood-stained or white? Or perhaps, you would like to add a pop of color?

What about flooring? Would you like to have carpet in the house or vinyl flooring? Maybe you would like to have carpet in the bedrooms and vinyl flooring throughout the rest of the house? What about tile in the bathroom.

When you add up all of the decisions, it can become overwhelming. That’s why here at RCH, we suggest that our clients create Pinterest boards for each of the specific rooms in their house. Take for example the Kitchen. When thinking about what you want it to look like, you have to consider what you want for backsplash, flooring, hardware, cabinetry, appliances, etc.


On Pinterest, you are able to create specific mood boards where you can compile all of your inspiration pictures. See the example we created below to give you an idea of what we’re talking about:

Pinterest now also gives you the option to sort pins on a specific board into categories. This is how we chose to sort ours:

By sorting pins into categories such as flooring, hardware, floating shelves, backsplash, and cabinets, you will be able to get a better idea of what you want in each specific space in your home. 

If you don’t know how to begin searching, try using these keywords:

  • Home Inspiration

  • Kitchen Inspiration

  • Kitchen Ideas

  • Flooring Ideas

  • Interior Design

  • Living Room Inspiration

  • Living Room Design

  • Paint Colors for Home

  • Modern Home Exterior 

  • Farmhouse Design

  • Tile Inspiration

  • Bathroom Interior Design

Loloi is a company committed to the craftsmanship of designing and creating rugs for today’s homes. According to an editorial posted on Loloi’s website, 25 years ago, Amir Loloi, the founder of Loloi Rugs, set out to learn about the intricate creation process of rugs in India. It is here that generations of people have been crafting specially designed rugs by hand for centuries. The process is meticulous and there is little room for error as each rug takes months to create.

“If you’re only looking at a finished rug, it’s easy to forget how much craftsmanship is involved.”

- Amir Loloi


In 2004 when Loloi Rugs was founded, Amir Loloi was intent on bringing the work of rural Indian artisans to the United States. For this growing family business, it’s all about maintaining the integrity of the product and encapsulating the art of rug making.

Here at RCH Home and Design, we have 20+ samples of different styles of Loloi rugs for you to look at. In addition to the samples that we have in-store, Loloi Rugs has a beautiful website where you can look at the thousands of rugs that they have in stock.
