7 Great Benefits of Using Hometalk

Do you ever get to the place where you are needing to change up your decorations or remodel a room in your home but not sure where to begin or what to do exactly? I know I do at times. What about needing to make some home repairs and wanting to do them yourself but also don’t want to pay someone a huge chunk of money to do so? Well look no further than Hometalk.

Hometalk is a website similar to Pinterest but with more features that I know you will enjoy and benefit from. Earlier this year I was wanting to revamp a floor full-length mirror in my master bathroom. It was actually a mirror that was part of our mantle when we moved into our house. I couldn’t just throw away a perfectly good mirror and ended up turning it sideways and using it for a full-length mirror in the bathroom. This mirror isn’t exactly pretty and was needing something extra for a long time. I turned to Hometalk and found many different ideas for inspiration for how I could upcycle this mirror and make it look not so blah.

Check out my Bathroom Mirror Makeover clipboard where I clipped multiple ideas. Also be sure to check out my post of my bathroom mirror makeover for specific instructions.

1. Search for new projects, tips, inspiration, etc. in many different topics.

There are so many different topics from decoupage to composting and even cleaning tips and much more to help you with your next project. You will never get bored with searching because there are always new ideas being posted every day.

2. Clip your favorite ideas to a board.

For those who use Pinterest, you are used to “pinning” things to different boards. With Hometalk when you see something that interest you, clip it to a new board. You can have as many boards as you would like and keep all your project ideas organized.

3. Share your own projects and ideas with others.

If you have something that you have created, remodeled, upcycled, or even just a great tip, post it to your profile and share with others so they can be inspired and helped as well.

4. Ask questions and for advice.

Probably the biggest differences and one of my favorite features of Hometalk is that there is such a community feel. If you are having problems with a project or just wanting advice on what color to paint your front door, then post the question and wait for all the other helpful users to give you their input and advice. Also feel free to reciprocate the advice and answer others questions as well. The friendships made are different than most social sites.

5. Follow other users.

Maybe you have found another user that you seem to really enjoy their post and ideas. You can follow them to be sure to not miss out on any of their future posts as well.

6. Get a preview of the project with pictures and a short description.

Hometalk will show you several pictures of the project along with a description of the overview so you have a better idea of what you are looking at before actually going to the website of the user. It saves time and frustration from clipping an idea and then going to the website to only find that you were looking for something completely different.

7. Follow Hometalk on Facebook and subscribe to their emails for more inspiration.

I personally follow Hometalk on Facebook and love seeing their updates in my newsfeed. They are constantly showing what users are up to which always give me a new idea or inspiration for things I have been wanting to do but put off sometimes. I also receive an email from them often that helps with new tips and ideas as well.

Hometalk is perfect for bloggers to use to share their content with others but you don’t have to be a blogger either. Anyone can use Hometalk and enjoy all the benefits of it. I hope you will too. Be sure to follow me on Hometalk so I can do the same for you and see all your favorite inspiration too.
