![]() ![]() I save all of the images to a folder on my computer so that they’re easy to find. Start to surf Pinterest or Google for images like exposed brick or products like gold hanging lights. Now it’s time to put all of your common items together. Or start your mood board with the items you have and go from there! If you have a short list of items you have two options: keep surfing Pinterest until you have more photos and therefore more common items that you love. The more photos you have the fewer items you might find in common: one project all I could find were two items! #MAKE A MOOD BOARD PLUS#If you’re trying to mix two different styles then your photos might be a little different than mine… plus I tried to group mine in two different groups for this post whereas they were sent to me all in one big jumble. I’m seeing a bit of a modern industrial vibe: exposed brick, subway tile, black or stainless steel appliances, gold pendant lights, striped towels, glass or open shelving, gorgeous black faucets… the whole shebang! I am actually working on a mood board for a friend and these are a few of the photos she sent me. What items show up again and again in different photos? Chances are these are the items you’re drawn to! These are the items you’ll want to include in your final mood board. Look through the board and try to determine what the common items are: do you see a bunch of black cabinets? Exposed brick? Black matte fixtures? Now it’s time to sort through the madness. We’ll whittle the list down later, this step is all about figuring out what styles you’re subconsciously drawn to. If not go ahead and start a new one for your new project!ĭon’t worry about too much other than saving photos or products that you love. If you’re already a Pinterest user you may have a good jumping off point… such as a Kitchen Inspiration board for your new kitchen project. A laptop, phone, tablet… whichever you like to curl up with for an hour or two of scrolling. This is the fun part! Grab a cold can of Diet Coke, a snuggly blanket and any device with Pinterest. If you’re not big on design or don’t know exactly what you like… maybe you’re trying to mix a couple styles together (maybe a wife who loves french country and a husband who loves clean modern?) here’s an easy way to create a mood board! Step 1: That’s definitely one way to go about it but if you’re starting from absolute ground zero it’s not an entirely effective way… for anyone starting from nothing it’s a good way to spend an afternoon beating your head against a brick wall! #MAKE A MOOD BOARD TRIAL#Of course, for me creating a mood board is a bit of trial and error… squishing a bunch of things I love into one photo until they go together! So I gathered up my inspiration and set about creating a mood board… and since I love all of you I decided to share my thought process on the easy way to create a mood board! She reallllly loved that faucet… I mean it is GORGEOUS. I really don’t blame her though… I mean look at all this matte black goodness! For a girl who’s kitchen mood board consisted of white, gray and blue that was a big jump but I was open for the challenge! ![]() The only guidelines she gave me were that she looooved the new matte black trend that’s going on. I’m having a little bit of fun today! If you’ve been here for a while you know that I love to design things: printables, mood boards, organizational binders, rooms… pretty much anything and everything I can get my hands on!Ī couple of weeks ago a friend asked me to help her design a mood board for her upcoming kitchen renovation… she saw the mood board I recently made for my own kitchen makeover and wanted in on the fun! ![]()
