I have loved Pinterest since its launch, and it's my go-to place when I lack inspiration for ideas on home decor, new cooking recipes, style ideas, etc. I wouldn’t say I’m a pro at using it, but I know the basics, which was enough for me for some time.

However, since many curators create so many different boards on Pinterest, sometimes it’s hard for me to find the board I am looking for.

I investigated a bit and found some ways how to search people’s boards on Pinterest, and in this article, we’ll go through the steps. Keep reading to learn how to do it.

How to find boards on Pinterest from your home feed

1. Launch Pinterest and log in to your profile there.
2. From your home feed, click on a Pin.
3. To open boards from a user, click on the username as shown.

4. Once you click on that, you will be redirected to that person's profile, and you'll be able to see their boards.

How to view all the boards of a Pinterest user

1. Open Pinterest and log into your account as usual.
2. In the search bar, enter the username you want to see all the boards and press ‘Enter’.

3. Click on 'Profiles' (right below the search bar).

4. You can find a person’s boards by clicking on either created or saved from the list.

Note: The ‘Secret Board’ that is created by a user will not show up to you because it is only visible to the owner of that secret board and its collaborators.

How to find group boards on Pinterest

For those unfamiliar, Pinterest group boards are collaborative boards for members to share ideas. If you are interested in finding where they are located, these are the steps to follow:

1. Open Pinterest and log in to your account there.
2. In the search bar, type a keyword that is relevant to your interest.
3. Press 'Enter'.

4. Select ‘Saved’.

5. To find group boards, look for boards with multiple profile images.

Quick Tip: If you want to find group boards on Pinterest for topics relevant to your business, you can create a spreadsheet with columns for board titles with URLs, number of pins, number of members, and followers. When you spot a group board you want to join, add it to that spreadsheet.
