Social networks for amateur home decorators are one of the latest trends on the Internet. The social network provides a neighborhood where hobbyist home decorators can showcase their projects and get feedback and inspiration from other members of the community.
We know what we like and we are not afraid to do the work ourselves. Typically, we’ll tackle just about any project, no need for professional landscapers, interior designers, or decorators.
Any tips, suggestions and ideas from professionals and other home decorators are welcome. But that’s where it stops! We have fun and welcome the challenges that come with decorating our homes.
There is definitely a lot of information to be found, from remodeling a kitchen to refinishing a piece of furniture. We’re lucky to have shows like HGTV and Martha Stewart that are full of creative people sharing ideas, tips, and advice.
BHG, Coastal Home and Southern Living are just a few of the many magazines available. These magazines fill their pages with fabulous images, decorating ideas, gardening, and cooking ideas.
The biggest by far, and my personal favorite, is social networking over the Internet. Hobbyist home decorators can share our home decor ideas with like-minded people. Our ideas are shared through images, slideshows and videos. We communicate through websites, blogs, email, Facebook and Twitter.
I am an artist who has fun creating for our home. I have no interest in selling these creations or creating for other homes, but I do like to share my ideas. Social media has made it possible to share my kitchen and home decor ideas.
When I started my website, I was amazed at all the home decor sites that are available. These sites consist of like-minded people sharing all their secrets through images and content. Link parties have become very popular with site owners who share their ideas in one place. This is a great opportunity for visitors to learn about other home decor sites and gather information.
There are other social networking sites that are similar to a club, but you join and become a member for free. All that is needed to join and participate is an email address and a password. The sites are for site owners, professionals and visitors and offer the opportunity to communicate and share ideas through a comments and images page.
Member sites offer a variety of different opportunities. There are those that offer a way to store images, videos, photo albums, and slideshows, as well as communicate with other members. You can also share your image collection via email, Twitter and Facebook. Site owners can embed and link images to their own website or blog.
I’ve found that slideshows work well on websites or blog pages. I don’t know about you, but I like to see a lot of photos of decoration projects. The downside is that web pages take a long time to load when there are too many photos on a page. The advantage of slideshows is the ability to display many photos that do not take long to load.
If you like to share and communicate with like-minded people, you should definitely try social networking with other home decorators on the internet. You will be able to get a lot of information, knowledge and inspiration.
