About the company

Pinterest runs a visual search and discovery app where people look for ideas in areas like cooking, home decor, fashion, and travel, then save the images they like to themed collections called boards. In 2012 it became the fastest standalone website to reach 10 million monthly US visitors, according to measurement firm comScore. Each saved image, called a Pin, links back to its source, such as a recipe or a product page, and people search with words or with a photo to find similar ideas and things to buy. Brands pay to show ads among Pins in feeds and search results, and Pinterest also sells ads on streaming TV. It launched in 2010 and is based in San Francisco, California.

Pinterest and Barbie bring DreamHouse inspiration to homes with Restyle.

Pinterest and Barbie bring DreamHouse inspiration to homes with Restyle. Pinterest and Mattel partner to launch a new limited-time Barbie experience in Restyle, Pinterest's AI-powered visual editing tool that lets people reimagine their own spaces with new styles, décor and design ideas Editorial Series Campaigns and creative work from across the globe, all in one place. The Barbie DreamHouse has never been just a house. Like Pinterest, it is a place to imagine what you love and how you want to live. To celebrate the new DreamHouse, Pinterest has launched a unique Barbie experience within Restyle, powered by Pinterest Intelligence, that helps people reimagine a space, test ideas and compare options in their own home. People can discover the experience through official Barbie content, select search terms and curated boards on the Barbie Pinterest profile. To get started, upload a photo of your room and use Restyle to transform it in seconds with one of five signature DreamHouse style edits: mid-century Americana, chalet chic, superstar glam, Victorian romance or modern coastal. Then, add or swap décor with Barbie-approved finds to perfect your own dream home. "People come to Pinterest to discover ideas and make them their own. Barbie has inspired generations to imagine what is possible," said Sara Pollack, VP, global head of consumer marketing. "Together, we're giving people a playful new way to see those possibilities in a space that is uniquely theirs and to shop for products they love." Barbie inspires your dreams. Pinterest helps you bring them to life. Interest in Barbie DreamHouse inspiration is growing on Pinterest, with searches for 'Barbie DreamHouse aesthetic' up 72%. The Barbie Restyle experience gives people a playful way to move from inspiration to a more personal vision for their own rooms. People are embracing pink for their homes, driving interest in 'pink apartment ideas' (+224%) and 'pink dorm aesthetics' (+120%). Searches are also spiking across specific interior accents like 'pink whimsy wallpaper' (+562%), 'pink wall décor' (+246%), 'pink lace curtains' (+99%), 'pink rug' (+81%), 'pink mirror frames' (+80%), and 'pink lighting' (+64%). 1 "Barbie has remained a cultural force for more than six decades by continually inspiring creativity, style and self-expression," said Mahta Eghbali, VP, strategic partnerships and alliances, Mattel. "As we celebrate the all-new Barbie DreamHouse, our partnership with Pinterest extends that inspiration beyond play and décor dreams, giving fans new ways to discover DreamHouse ideas and use Pinterest ReStyle to bring their own dream spaces to life."

Restyle is designed to make inspiration feel more personal. There were billions of home décor saves on Pinterest in the last year.

Users can take or upload a photo of a room, piece of furniture or décor item, then use Restyle to add an object, change an item, erase an element or edit a scene with a text prompt.

Wayfair puts a pin in what's hot in home décor.

Wayfair puts a pin in what's hot in home décor. Oct 9, 2026 | News Wayfair UK has teamed up with Pinterest for a new campaign exploring the home and interiors trends catching shoppers' attention, with cosy living spaces and bold, colourful décor emerging as two key styles. The collaboration uses Pinterest search data to identify emerging consumer preferences and turn them into shoppable product collections, helping customers discover and recreate the latest looks in their homes. The first stage of the campaign, called 'Wayfair Wishlist', analysed trends gaining popularity among UK Pinterest users over a 12-month period. Two distinct styles emerged: 'Cosy Spaces', which focuses on warmth, comfort and inviting interiors, and 'Dopamine Décor', which embraces brighter colours, playful designs and more individual approaches to decorating. Olivia Sauerwein, Wayfair's Resident Style Advisor, explained: "Cosy Spaces is centred around warm, comfortable and inviting rooms, while Dopamine Décor takes a more playful approach, embracing bold colour, personality and unexpected details." Wayfair used the findings to create curated collections on Pinterest, allowing shoppers to browse products, save their favourites and click through to the retailer's website to make purchases. According to the retailer, the first phase delivered a 4.5 per cent incremental sales lift, alongside a 3.5 percentage point increase in action intent and a 2.5 per cent rise in Pin awareness. Building on those results, the partnership has now launched 'Wayfair's Top Pins', highlighting the 10 home and interiors products that attracted the most engagement during the initial campaign. The ranking includes everything from bedding and wallpaper to furniture and decorative accessories, offering an insight into the products and styles resonating with UK shoppers. Among the most popular products are the Silentnight Supersoft Natural Gingham Duvet Set, Cath Kidston Canopy Stripe Wallpaper and two bedspreads from Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen's Siena collection. Furniture also features prominently, with a rattan panel bed, upholstered storage bed, TV stand and shell-shaped sofa making the list. The campaign demonstrates how retailers can use social media trends and consumer search behaviour to inform their product ranges and connect shoppers with the styles they are already exploring online. For the homewares sector, the findings point towards continued consumer interest in both comforting, understated interiors and more expressive, colourful designs, suggesting shoppers are increasingly looking to bring personality into their homes.
