Mood boards can be created for any number of reasons. Sometimes fashion stylists will put together inspiration for a line of clothes on a mood board. Decorators might create a mood board to get a feel for how their client wants to decorate a room. And while many professionals use mood boards in their work, you don’t have to be a professional to do the same thing for yourself. You can find ideas in magazines and online and print them out to pin to a board. Or, if you don’t want to create an actual board, you can create a digital mood board online. Another use for a mood board is as a landing place for things that make you happy. If you smile when you look at that picture of a butterfly, then cut it out and pin it to the board. The mood board can be a work of art and create a mood in the room. For more ideas take a look at these 24 blog entries.
Plan a Room
If you are thinking about redecorating a room, you might want to put some time into planning how you’d like for it to look and feel. If you are sharing that space with a spouse or significant other, you might want to include him in the mood board process. Pick out styles of furniture that you like, paint chips that inspire the mood you’d like the room to have and accessories that speak to you. Check out these eight blog posts for more explanations.

Decorate a Room
Sometimes you come across pictures of things that make you happy or that create a certain feeling in you. When this happens you should cut these pictures out or print them and keep them in a folder. After a while, you will have a collection of items that please you or inspire you. Take those items and a cork board and get creative. Rearrange the items on the board until you are happy with their placement. Make sure to leave some negative space so that it doesn’t get too busy or jumbled looking. You want to create a place for the eye to rest when someone looks at it. These eight blog articles will give you some examples of mood boards used as room décor.

If you spend a lot of time online, you might feel like it’s easier to save your ideas online. It is easier, but you also need to be able to find all of your ideas once you save them, and wouldn’t it be nice to see them all together? By creating a mood board online you can combine your ideas into one place so that you can see what you have been collecting. You may want to remove some of the things because they don’t fit with the rest, but you can usually develop a cohesive theme for your mood board.
