Are you stuck on where to start with your next project? A moodboard is a visual representation of your project’s aesthetic, and it’s an incredible tool to help guide your creative decisions and bring your vision to life. And the best part? It’s super easy to create!
Creating a mood board is an amazing way to get inspired and start planning your next project. From colour schemes to patterns and textures. Mood boards can be helpful to create a clear idea of what your space can look like before you start shopping around.
Begin your mood board by finding images of spaces that you can see yourself living in and that inspire you. Pinterest is an amazing resource for creating mood boards and for getting interior design inspiration, check out our Pinterest page for even more interior design and decorating inspiration for all different types of spaces.
Begin by gathering a few words or images that speak to you.
What inspires you? What style do you love? Maybe it’s a beautiful coastal retreat or a cosy woodland walk. Whatever it is, write down some keywords like ‘relaxation’ or choose a few inspiring images and stick them on a board.
This will be the foundation of your mood board, giving you a clear starting point for your project.
Now it’s time to get visual with colour! Choose one or two main colours that evoke the feeling you want to create in your space.
You can use our gorgeous Claypaint swatches, which are painted in real Claypaint, to get a true sense of the colours you have chosen. Add a few accent colours to complement your main shades, and don’t be afraid to experiment!
A colour wheel can be a huge help in finding different combinations.
Gather images of the key pieces that you’d like in your space, think larger pieces of furniture such as sofas, beds, or even statement pieces of art.
Cut them out and stick them on your board, grouping them together to get a sense of how they’ll interact with each other. This is where the magic starts to happen!
Next add some texture and depth with swatches of wallpaper, paint samples, fabric, and flooring. These will give you a better sense of how the materials will look in real life.
For example, if you’re designing a bedroom, grab some fabric samples of bed linen or wallpaper scraps and add them to your board.
When creating a mood board layering is your best friend. It allows you to see which fabrics work the best with which colours, etc.
Don’t be afraid to pair things together that you don’t think go, because that’s the whole point of a mood board. Experimenting!
The final step is all about adding those finishing touches! Think candles, glassware, cushions – anything that adds personality to your space. This is where you can really get creative and make your moodboard pop! If items are too big to fit on your moodboard, simply take a picture to get a feel!
And that’s it! With these simple steps, you’ll have a stunning moodboard that will guide you through your project and bring your vision to life. Remember, it’s all about capturing the essence of what you want to achieve – don’t be afraid to experiment and have fun with it!
