16 Must-Follow Pinterest Users [Design Edition]

Pinterest has quickly become the design darling of the social space, allowing users collect and share things they like on the web by pinning pictures to virtual “pinboards.” From art and interiors, to fashion, DIY projects, and recipes, Pinterest is filled with an almost endless supply of inspiration and an easy way to organize it all.

Pinterest has quickly become one of my biggest obsessions. It is the perfect place to store all the great interior design ideas and inspiration I see everyday online. I am a pinning fool!

Lately, several of my friends have been asking me to make a list of people that I like to follow, so I finally took the time to sit down and hand pick my favorite pinners. Doing the choosing was quite a task, but I finally narrowed it down to nine stylish picks. All the pinners listed below have at least 500 pins and a unique eye for beautiful things that caught my eye. All are from Dallas and several are interior designers or have ties to the Dallas Design District!

Trust me, you can’t go wrong by following any one of these lovely ladies:

In addition to personal pinners, several savvy design brands have started to build a presence on the social sharing site, creating curated boards of their products and other interior design inspiration. I found five Dallas Design District showrooms that have started pinning and are worth following. Also, don’t forget to follow me on the Lower Oak Lawn pinterest page!

    Kendall,
    What a great tool you have provided. I have been on Pinterest about a month now and am totally addicted. I can see how this is perfect for someone in the design business. I do consulting for real estate and small business and this is the place they want to be. There has been some controversy over “safe pinning” and people need to be aware of copyright issues. I have pinned your post on my board “Everything Pinterest” and look forward to following you and the sweet 16. I would love to be on your list in a future publication. Thanks for showing us the way!
