Interior design has been my hobby since I was a child. I bought my first interior design magazine when I was 15, and my first design chair when I was 16. To pay for it, I worked six weeks during the holidays in a hospital kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the time, I never thought of turning my passion into a profession. Perhaps things were simply different in the seventies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the past decade my love for interiors returned in a new way. When the children left home, I wanted to transform our house into a calm, balanced place to come back to. I started making interior design mood boards and slowly redecorated the rooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Friends and family became curious about the process. Because I had collected so many magazines and Pinterest images over the years, I could easily help them create their own mood boards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this blog, How to Make an Interior Design Mood Board<\/em>, I share the simple steps I use myself. I hope my tips will help you create a home that feels exactly the way you want it to feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is an interior design mood board?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An interior design mood board is a way to explore your ideas and create a cohesive picture of how you want your interior to look and feel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are different ways to approach a mood board. You can start with a more abstract direction \u2014 focusing on the atmosphere or feeling you want to achieve. Or you can make it more concrete by adding your favorite furniture, textiles, colors, and materials. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Personally, I often use the second approach. For family and friends it can be difficult to imagine how a room will look when they only see an abstract mood board. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is why I usually work with product photos, floor samples, textures, and sometimes wallpaper samples. Combined with a simple floor plan, the mood board already sets the tone for a new interior design. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
