Set the mood

IN need of some new inspiration for your home? Why not bring out your inner interior designer by pulling your ideas and visions together just like the professionals do to create your very own a mood board.

A mood board usually features a mixture of images, which attempt to communicate a design idea or theme. For example, a French Provincial interior may have a few images of provincial interiors, colour inspiration and flooring and furnishing ideas. When put together, you’re able to imagine just what the space could look like, which is especially great for those of us who struggle to see a vision come together.

You can create mood boards with apps like Instagram or Pinterest, Windows Office programs on your computer, or go old school and pull out the scissors to cut up magazines to create your collages. Let your imagination flow and you’ll soon be full of new design ideas for every room of the house!
