Tip

To create your own Parisian décor, avoid over-staging, less is always more and focus on textures, colours and materials instead of styles. Mix and match and don’t be afraid to break the rules!

Taking the second spot is Germany’s capital; Berlin. With 256 boards and 17,825 dedicated pins—62.77 percent fewer pins than Paris, Berlin can be pictured embracing its gritty textures and urban aesthetic. With their edgy and artsy vibe, Berliners have mastered the simple yet effective interior and exterior!

Tip

To infuse a Berlin vibe into your home, remember that art is what you make it. Take something you find on the streets or a second-hand store and let your imagination run wild! Antiques such as a vintage brass lamp can give your house an extra touch of style.

Placing third is Amsterdam in the Netherlands with 180 boards. Unique, creative and historic, the Dutch capital is heavily influenced by its culture and is a destination that every architecture lover must visit.

Tip

To add a touch of Amsterdam to your home, think about adding bookshelves and framed posters to your living space and bring some life to your rooms by filling up empty corners with plants!

Just behind in fourth place as the European city with the most beautiful homes on Pinterest is Athens in Greece with 177 boards, whilst Italy's floating city, Venice, which has 10.73 percent lesser—158 boards—places fifth.
