The 20 most influential cities for design, according to Pinterest
We know that lightbulb moments of home inspiration can spring up at any time. Scrolling the Instagram feed of your favourite influencer. Shopping for new sheets, coffee table books or tableware online. Or, browsing through Vogue Living’s extensive archive of house tours. But if there’s one platform that really delivers on design vision, it has to be Pinterest.

Crunching the numbers in a new study, they’ve revealed the top cities for fashion and décor inspiration.
