Here's the crazy thing about me and inspiration: If you were to go into my bathroom inspiration board on Pinterest, there are bathrooms for sure, but there are also kitchens, there are closets, there are mudrooms, and there are hallways of houses! I'm not looking to copy and paste an inspirational image. I'm taking notes on what elements of each picture I like — such as the color of the door or the moldings on the wall — and save them, regardless of the room! So when you're looking at inspiration photos of a space you want to revamp, look for how someone is mixing patterns in a room, how they're playing with scale, or what they do with lighting. Then save the ones you love!
On the other hand, narrowing down to a room when searching for inspiration is a great exercise to find your own style and solve issues you may have in styling your house. Do you have a problem with where to put your throw pillows when you take them off the bed at night? Look through bedroom images and see if there's a trunk, bench, or chair in the corner that you could replicate. Does the nightstand have open shelving? See what people stack or style by the bed to create the look and feel you're going for.
Here are some rooms that I've been saving to my collection:

Thank you for this post and the inspirational photos that have created an assortment of ideas that I needed to get me on track for sprucing up our primary bedroom and two guest bedrooms.
