If you’ve always prided yourself on your originality when it comes to home decor, the Pinterest Home Work Report of 2017 may not be the source for you. But if you’re in need of a bit of inspiration for your decorations, then head on over to this enormous digital bulletin board and check out what Pinners across the world are making trendy this year.

“According to Pinterest data, these are the top trending home solutions,” the social media platform explains. “Consider this your cheat sheet of trends everyone will be copying — and not just because they look good, but because they’re rental and budget friendly, and require zero pro DIY skills.”

Keep in mind that this isn’t a list curated by interior designers or architects — rather, this is a truly crowdsourced set of data, and as such, seems to reflect most accurately what Pinterest’s 175 million monthly active users think to be in vogue. To make things easier for you to digest, Pinterest narrowed down the trends to the top 20 across home, food, beauty, and style.

So what’s hot and trendy these days? For your home, consider getting some removable wallpaper, so your walls can change as often as your moods do. You can also address your storage shortage with “solutions that double as decor, like vintage trunks, luggage, and baskets.” And when thinking of your morning routine, you probably ought to invest in a round mirror rather than a square or rectangle. This, Pinterest users believe, will take your reflective surface from being functional to decorative.

Other tips include hanging shower plants in your bathroom to add a pop of color while keeping your floor clean. And since you’re probably steaming up your washroom once a day, you won’t even have to worry about watering your flora. Finally, if you’re redecorating for the summer, you may want to look into warmer tones, like terracotta, which appears to be all the rage this season.

Of course, taking the road less traveled can be fun, but if you’d rather stick to the tried and true, Pinterest may be a good place to start looking.

Why you should buy the Roku Smart Home Indoor Camera SE 2-pack
Roku doesn’t feature in our look at the best home security cameras but don’t let that put you off. It has everything you could need from inexpensive indoor security cameras. Each camera enables you to see an entire area with 1080p HD picture in full colour. That includes at night, all via the Roku Smart Home app. It’s possible to set specific motion detection zones so you can cut down on false alerts while the camera can detect motion or sound with smart sensors even detecting body heat so you won’t see them be activated by something like a curtain moving in the wind.

Anker SOLIX X1 offers effective solar power storage for your home backup
Anker SOLIX X1 solar battery storage outside with family nearby

A major challenge of solar power as a primary energy source is that, as abundant as it is, it's not always available. Solar systems do not generate energy at night, obviously, but energy production is reduced during overcast, dark, or stormy days. Moreover, other factors can affect energy production, like the cleanliness or condition of the solar panels and the amount of sunlight they get during the day -- which can be influenced by the sun's location in the sky or where the panels are installed -- and much more. It simply means that to use solar energy systems effectively, you need some kind of storage device to preserve energy for use during the off-hours. While several products on the market do this, the X1 from Anker SOLIX is one of the most intriguing and powerful solar energy storage systems we’ve seen.
