How to create a moodboard

Make sure that your choice of furniture, paints and fabrics work well together

1. Gather your materials 
Gather together all your decorating ideas, any inspiring images, fabric swatches and wallpaper samples and create a storyboard on an A3-size piece of plain card or in a large, plain notebook. 
2. Choose your base colour
Whether it’s flooring or a wall colour, this represents the largest area of colour in your room, so it’s important to add a large sample of it to your moodboard. Adding carpet samples helps you think about texture, too.
3. Add an accent 
This is an important decision. Do you go for a dramatic contrast, or an accent just a few tones away from your base colour?

Use your moodboard to play around with options and layer up the board with swatches and scraps.
4. Create mood with accessories
These will really set the tone for your decorating scheme – go for accessories which share a vibrant accent colour (say, blue, as here) and stick to a single theme; maybe vintage, or country or eastern. Don’t get carried away and mix up different styles, or your scheme will end up looking messy rather than eclectic.

Paint and wallpaper 


Group paint colours with wallpaper and flooring samples.

Fabric and furniture 


Pin fabric swatches nearby and paste on photos of any new furniture.
Curtains and accessories 

Include curtain fabric and pictures of new accessories cut from catalogues.

Adding the final stages to your moodboard 


Look at the moodboard with fresh eyes a few days later to be sure that you’ll be creating the look you want. If you’re happy, move a stage further and paint tester pots onto the walls.
Then move around the room and look at colours in different lights as paint colours appear to change in daylight and artificial light. If you’re happy with your choices at this point, then you’re ready to put your ideas into place.

About Me

About Me
Hey! I'm Deb Fielding, thanks for stopping by my blog, it's great to meet you! I'm an interior designer from Yorkshire and my portfolio includes work on residential, commercial and new developments. My residential work has been featured in several home magazines and I've also had a book published - Diary of a house move. I believe a home should reflect the people who live there, showing personality but at the same time be a place to relax.

Testimonials

What a lovely lady Deborah is! She enabled us to turn our "New house" into our "Forever home".
We loved the moodboards and being able to actually discuss what and how we wanted our home to feel and how we wanted it to flow from space to space. The shopping lists were fantastic. I was completely overwhelmed and floundered until we met her - my husband may have divorced me by now with all my indecision before we found Deborah. Can't recommend her services highly enough. Friendly, polite, professional, enthusiastic, budget conscious and devoted to doing the best job anyone can. Will definitely use your services again when we get the children moved out! Haha! 5*****


Thoroughly professional operation. I recommend without hesitation! Selection of furnishings and implementation were of the highest order. Our tenants were very appreciative.


Debs had loads of ideas for me to ponder and bought my vague ideas into sharper focus. She listened , suggested and advised when required.
If you need ideas, colour schemes or much more then Debs has her finger on the pulse and comes highly recommended.


Excellent service - Deb had some excellent ideas and advice and really helped bring my vague ideas to a wonderful reality! Would definitely recomnend. Thanks Deb! xxx
