Finding it hard to keep your home decor community inspired and resourceful? Our Recommend a Resource templates make it easy for members to share helpful articles, tools, and ideas. Foster a culture of sharing while giving everyone practical tips they can use right away.
Plan your content calendar and auto-post to Skool, Circle, or Mighty Networks
Resource recommendation posts tap into the collective knowledge of your community, making every member feel valued and involved. When people share what has helped them, others are more likely to trust and try those resources, building stronger peer connections.
This approach also lowers the barrier for participation. Members do not have to create original content; instead, they can simply share what already works for them. Over time, this creates a rich library of tried-and-tested resources that enhances everyone’s home decor journey.

These templates work on all platforms. For forums, use them to start new threads or as weekly prompts. On social media, pair with an engaging graphic or hashtag. In group chats, keep prompts short and follow up actively. Always encourage members to add a brief explanation for context.
To make your resource recommendations valuable, highlight trusted paint brands known for quality and variety, such as Benjamin Moore or Farrow & Ball. Include links to online color palette generators or visualizer tools, and encourage members to share before-and-after photos using these resources. Adding context, like which finishes work best for high-traffic areas or tips on coordinating accent walls, will boost engagement and practical value.
When recommending eco-friendly resources, clearly label them as sustainable, recycled, or ethically sourced. Include certifications, such as FSC for wood or OEKO-TEX for textiles. Consider a template section for 'Why this resource is sustainable,' and invite members to share their experiences with these materials in their own spaces. This approach helps foster a community focused on mindful decorating.
Include a location tag or note in your resource template, such as 'Available in North America' or 'Ships internationally.' For global communities, prompt members to suggest local alternatives in comment threads. This not only solves sourcing challenges but also enriches the resource list with diverse, region-specific suppliers and styles.
Yes, always link to step-by-step tutorials or video guides when suggesting DIY project resources. Before recommending, test the tutorial for clarity, safety, and achievable results. Prioritize sources with detailed material lists and clear visuals. Consider a template section for 'Skill Level' and 'Estimated Time,' making it easier for members to choose suitable projects.
Encourage moderators and members to recommend resources—such as blogs, Instagram accounts, or online shops—specializing in trending aesthetics like Japandi or Cottagecore. Templates can prompt users to explain why the resource is relevant to the style and to share visual inspiration from the resource. This approach sparks discussions, helps members find current trends, and keeps your community’s content fresh.
Design your template to prompt members to detail their experiences: ask for photos of completed work, ratings, turnaround time, and communication quality. Include fields for the type of project (e.g., custom shelving, upholstery, mural painting) and location. This structure builds trust and helps others make informed decisions when hiring for home decor projects.
