When it comes to decoration or designing your home, you initially have a lot of ideas. Often too many different ones. Expressing this is not that easy. And between the visualization of an idea and then implementing it, a lot gets lost again.
To visualize the ideas, it is necessary to create a mood board!
A mood board is a collage of different materials depicting designs, color schemes, and other design elements. They can be digital or physical and illustrate what the final outcome of an idea might look like.
It is an interpretation that expresses the idea. A mood board ensures that designers and clients see things from the same perspective.
A good mood board can support the design process and ensure that the overall look and feel is consistent with the vision and requirements.
Mood boards are a great tool to refine a specific aesthetic or style for the project. Mood boards can express a lot about the look and feel of the final design.
Also, a mood board is a great visual aid to showcase design concepts. It illustrates the meaning of terms such as a design in the "bohème", "rustic" or "traditional" style. In this way, you can quickly tell whether a certain style of living suits you or not.
What is a first tentative approach to the collection of ideas at the beginning, becomes more and more clear on the way of the design process. At the end there is the complete visualization of the initial idea.
The end of the process is the final design board with a shopping list of all the items needed to create a room or a specific style.
With a finished mood board, also known as a style board, the customer has everything he needs to put his styling idea into practice.
In modern times, physical mood boards have been replaced by their digital counterparts. And the Internet makes it possible to collect a large number of photographs that stimulate creativity and to discover a means of conveying ideas in a faster, more accessible, environmentally friendly and free way.
So if you have a home styling project coming up, don't forget this importent step!
Take care,
