You can make your own Mood Board by following these steps:

1. Find an Inspiration Piece: Choose one image that inspires you or represents a must-have element in your design, such as a sofa or a beautifully designed reading corner.
2. Hunt for & Save Imagery: Search for additional elements that complement your inspiration piece. Save images from websites, magazines, or stores, even if they don't seem relevant at first. You'll narrow down your choices later.
3. Choose a Mood Board Creator: Decide whether you'll create your mood board digitally or physically. Consider using online software like Houzz Pro to digitize your Mood Boards so you can quickly and easily make changes or access them when needed.
4. Design Your Board: Assemble your images on the board. Place foundational elements, such as rugs and wall colors, in the background, and arrange furniture and decor pieces on top to envision the final design. Consider the flow and composition of the images for a visually appealing board.

Absolutely! In fact, if your Mood Board isn’t digital, it could be holding you back from opportunities to reach clients who appreciate the speed and shareability of online interior design deliverables.

Yes! There are many app-based Mood Board creators available on the market. Ensuring that your Mood Boards are accessible from an app is key. That way you’re not tied down to your office or computer whenever you want to create, adjust or send a Mood Board. In fact Houzz Pro has an interior design Mood Board app that allows you to create stunning digital Mood Boards with ease. 

Some designers may still use physical Mood Boards (i.e. a poster board or piece of paper with photos and clip-outs of inspiration), but more technology-forward designers have adopted digital Mood Boards into their practice.

With so many design professionals looking to digitize their business, there are many types of interior design Mood Board creators available on the market today. When looking for Mood Board software that suits your needs, be sure to consider the following features:

• Additional Design Tools: Keep an eye out for Mood Board apps that also have other design tools to help you convey your vision. For example, Houzz Pro’s Mood Boards also enable you to create 3D Floor Plans that wow your clients. The paint colors, furniture or fixtures from your Mood Boards are already added to your product library so they can be quickly applied to your 3D floor plan.
• Built-In Proposals: Look for a Mood Board app that has a built-in proposal builder so you don’t have to waste time entering product information twice! With Houzz Pro, any products you add to your Mood Board can be added as items to your proposal. All prices, dimensions, colors and quantities are already there and ready to be tailored to your project.
• Product Sourcing Syncing: Be sure to find a Mood Board creator that helps make sourcing products faster! Tools like Houzz Pro make it simple to source products online and build a product library that can be used to create Mood Boards, 3D Floor Plans, and more. When you need to create a tear sheet, all of your products are organized by project ready to be sourced in a flash.
