Finding Pinterest Trends
Pinterest isn’t just a feed of pretty photos. It’s actually a visual search engine. Pinterest search is pretty sophisticated too! If a Pinner is looking for something, they will type that term into the search bar. Pinterest keeps track of the search volume for different search terms at different times of the year. As Pinterest Managers, we love that they do this!
Pinterest shares this information via Pinterest Trends by rating a search term from 0 – 100 over the course of a year. This can be helpful when determining when Pinners will be looking for certain keywords. It can also help you figure out when to include specific topics or ideas in your content plan.
You can also compare different keywords to see which one has a higher search volume. This can be helpful when trying to decide if you want to use “Fall Home Decor” or “Fall Decor Ideas for the Home” as your main keyword in a blog post or Pin title. At first glance, you may think this wouldn’t make a difference, but check out the chart below to see how important this step is!
Season at a Glance
Big seasonal changes at Pinterest mean an uptick in new searches. Though we’re still in August, Pinterest users are already thinking about Fall shopping, fall decor, fall fashion, and of course fall recipes. Typically, engagement slows on Pinterest during the summer but it tends to pick up for most niches in late August to early September. That’s why right now is the perfect time to start planning for your Fall boards.
Wondering what to pin in Fall? Here are some annual trends to try to include in your content plan for the season. All of these Pinterest trends hit 100 in search volume during the fall season. In other words, they hit their highest search volume for the year at the times listed below.

DIY Projects
Felted Sky – Felted Pumpkins DIY Kit
The Trend
This product is not only adorable, but it also aligns perfectly with two of the big trends for both Fall DIY and Fall Decor. Additional related searches that peak during this time are “fall pumpkin decor”, “farmhouse fall decor”, and “fall crafts”.
What It Is
This pumpkin felting kit comes with everything you need to make 3 felted pumpkins. Not only is it a gorgeous DIY kit that will teach you a new skill, but you’ll also end up with a great start to your Fall decorating.
Why We Love It
I purchased this item myself last fall and was blown away by the entire kit. It is gorgeously packaged – so much so that it would make an amazing gift. Shop owner Elizabeth Whitton clearly has a passion for felting. I purchased two kits so that I would have a fun activity to do with my mom. We had a great time learning how to felt with yarn. The best part was that after spending time together, we had three beautiful and totally Instagramable pumpkins we could use in our Fall decor. Additionally, this shop is woman-owned and operated!
The Wreath Project UK – DIY Dried Flower Hoop Kit
The Trend
In addition to Fall decor and DIY projects, the search terms “fall wreaths for front door” and “fall front porch decor” get a nice bump in early to mid-September. After all, who doesn’t love a nice fall wreath?
What It Is
This DIY dried flower wreath from The Wreath Project in the UK could not be more beautiful. The kit comes with everything you need to make one wreath. Each package can be customized with 1 of 7 different colors.
Why We Love It
While we truly think this is the perfect Fall activity, the wreath is truly perfect for any time of year. This shop is woman-owned and operated by a professional florist. Lucie, the owner of the shop, started this project during a UK lockdown. It now has over 300 5-star reviews. Take that quarantine!
Home Decor
Quinn & Olive – Harvest Glow Interchangeable Wood Tassel Garland
The Trend
Fall decor is trending right now, but boho home decor has been trending the whole year. The tassels on this product are interchangeable, so this decor item is suitable all year to match your modern minimalist living room, another top trend in 2021. Searches for “fall mantel decor” also spike in early September.
What It Is
This gorgeous boho tassel comes in two parts, which is part of the appeal. The natural wood bead garland is a gorgeously neutral off-white that will go with most decor schemes. The tassels are connected to a lobster clip, meaning that each tassel can be moved or changed out to match your decor, the season, whatever you want! The garland comes in lengths from 1 foot to 10 feet, so you’re sure to find the length you need for your space.
Why We Love It
We are big fans of the boho decor trend, but we know it probably isn’t forever. Thanks to the interchangeable nature of this product, we feel confident making this purchase. We can change the colors out whenever we need to! Creator Natalie Beckler who is also a nurse has created an incredible number of different tassel options for different seasons. You can even customize them to match a holiday, decor theme, or just to add a pop of color.
Kelsey M Designs – Fall Nature Wall Art Print
The Trend
This fall art fits squarely into the Fall decor category. Shop owner and artist Kelsey has a variety of original Fall-themed art prints to choose from.
What It Is
Kelsey M created her Etsy shop after graduating from college. She’s a passionate watercolor artist selling prints of her originals. We love to incorporate art prints into our seasonal decorating. By using frames, you can swap out artwork year-round to fit the current season for an easy way to decorate.
Why We Love It
Unlike many shops on Etsy, Kelsey sells her artwork as prints, so you can guarantee a much higher quality product vs. a digital download. Supporting artists is incredibly important to us. We also love when we get the opportunity to support small businesses owned by women and artists.
Clothing & Shoes
Knit.co – Wool Wrap Sweater
The Trend
Pinterest and fashion go hand in hand. Seasonal searches for outfit ideas are always rank among the top overall for the platform. In addition to seeing a boost for Fall outfits, “sweater outfits” also peak around October. “Minimalist fashion” has been enjoying a year-long increase too which this shop is perfect for.
What It Is
This is a handmade wool wrap sweater made and shipped from Seoul, South Korea by Knit.co. This sweater ties in the back and comes in a single size, so it would also make the perfect gift for someone if you aren’t sure of their exact size.
Why We Love It
This sweater couldn’t be more perfect for multiple trending fashion keywords right now, including sweaters (obviously), fashion, and minimalist styles. In addition, the handmade nature of this item means no fast fashion here.
Kuoni – Eco Wool Slippers
The Trend
“Cozy fall outfits” and “slippers” both get a bump in searches throughout the fall season. Slipper searches peak from September and all through December on Pinterest!
What It Is
These environmentally friendly slippers are handmade with two layers of fleece and a layer of wool. Thanks to the suede sole, these cozy slippers are perfect for wearing through the fall and winter seasons around the house.

Jewelry
Little Green Room – Engraved Flower Ring
The Trend
Though searches for jewelry remain relatively high all year, they peak in November. Stackable rings had a moment this year, and are seeing a nice boost currently.
What It Is
This customizable engraved ring is dainty and small, making it perfect for the stackable rings trend. Though it would be great year-round, the flower print feels very Fall. It would be great with a cozy sweater.
Why We Love It
Artist Amy Aguirre creates each ring as ordered, so you’ll get exactly the look you’re hoping for. This is a great crossover product because we also think it would make a perfect bridesmaids’ gift. That means it could easily fit into the wedding category as well.
Mignon and Mignon – Rose Gold Pine Cone Necklace
The Trend
We think these would make perfect bridesmaid’s gifts for a Fall wedding, and now is the perfect time to Pin because October is when this search peaks.
What It Is
These pinecone necklaces are personalized with an initial leaf. They come in three types of metal. You can add additional initial leaves, so they would also work as a gift for a mom too.

Weddings
Hundred Hearts – Bridesmaid Pajamas for Fall
The Trend
Wedding everything enjoys a huge jump in searches during Q4 that ends in February. Hello, January proposals! If you’re in the industry, you know that Summer weddings are the most popular. However, weddings take over Pinterest searches during the winter season when planning for those summer weddings really begins.
What It Is
These satin two-piece pajamas work perfectly for bridesmaid gifts. They would be wonderful for a bridesmaid’s proposal, Fall bachelorette party, bridal party, or just a gift on your big day. The pajamas are customizable with a monogram of up to 20 characters. They come in 9 different colors and 4 different sizes.
Why We Love It
There is a nice crossover here between cozy fall outfits and wedding-related searches. Robes are a pretty common bridesmaids’ gift, so we love the idea of trying pajamas instead for a fun twist.

Weddings by the Lakes – Rustic Candle Wedding Favors
The Trend
