I just want to remind you that Pinterest has changed a lot in recent years. It’s becoming harder and slower to grow on this platform. Sadly, the days of popping in once a week, sharing your latest blog, or scheduling out posts for weeks at a time, are gone.
We have to work a lot harder for our Pinterest traffic these days, but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible. Learn more about how to grow on Pinterest in 2022, here.
Alright, now that you have a million and one tabs open, let’s create a blogging plan for Pinterest in August 2022.

There are a lot of ‘fun and slightly silly’ holidays to celebrate in the month of August. A lot of those dates can be turned into really fun and clever content for Pinterest.

Now onto the niches for what to post on Pinterest in August 2022.

Beauty trends on Pinterest in August 2022
As usual, we’re seeing mainly hair and nails are the trending searches for beauty. I would say that one of the main uses of Pinterest is for people to find what hair or nails they want to show to their stylist. This is why this wins out as such a big search month after month. Are you in the beauty niche? I’d love to see how you incorporate this trend surges into your content:
- Curtain bangs
- Short hairstyles for women
- Curly hairstyles for women
- Acrylic nails
- Fall nails
- Christmas nails → YUP. Like I keep telling you, it’s time to start thinking about holiday content!
Remember to be creative with how you use these trends! You can share the best nail polishes for fall/Christmas or how you’re doing acrylic nails from home. And yes, it’s already time to start thinking about your holiday content.
Home Decor & Lifestyle Trends on Pinterest in August 2022
Lifestyle content on Pinterest is always a lot of home decor. But you can basically work so many of these niches into your content if you fall under the ‘lifestyle’ category. If you’re in the lifestyle niche, try to work on these topics in August 2022.
- Pumpkin carving ideas
- Elf-on-the-shelf ideas
- Bedroom design/bedroom ideas
- Living room designs/living room decor
- Kitchen designs
- Bathroom decor
- Laundry room aesthetic
- Disney wallpaper
People on Pinterest are also always looking for cute and new ways to decorate their homes for the holidays. Incorporate that into your content and base it around the rooms that people are searching for above. That can really help you get more eyeballs on your content this month.
Travel Trends on Pinterest in August 2022
Lastly, let’s talk about travel. Where are people going this autumn? Last year we saw a huge spike in people traveling specifically for the fall colors and I would assume that we’re going to see that same surge again. Let’s see what people are wanting to do with their vacation days in August:
- Beach travel
- City trips
- New York travel
- Camping trips
- Visiting Disney parks
- Hawaii travel guide
Don’t forget if you’re a travel blogger you can also post packing guides! People are searching for a lot of packing guides right now, so use the space to share affiliate links and monetize that blog of yours.
That’s your guide to what you should post on Pinterest in August. August is a transition month where we’re moving into fall, from summer. And it’s a really important time for you to start posting your holiday content. So don’t let the summer heat get the better of you.
