Of course mood boards – digital or traditional – are not just brilliant for styling your home. For example, ‘I love this shade of paint for our bedroom’, or ‘these ankle boots are on my Christmas wish list’.Īlong with Instagram, Twitter and Facebook, it’s also a nice way to network, allowing you to follow your favourite brands’ inspiration boards: just ‘like’ and comment on other people’s images and you'll draw people over to your own boards. Pictures can be pinned straight from the web (on many websites, images will feature a ‘Pin it’ button) and each image can then be captioned accordingly. You will need to name your board, add a description and categorise it, with options ranging from the mainstream (home decor, food, travel, animals) to the more obscure (tattoos). After this, simply select ‘Create a Board’ from the ‘Your Boards’ menu, and start pinning! You'll then be given some suggestions of ‘boards’ to follow (you need to tick at least five boards in order to continue, whether they be fashion, baking or sports-oriented). It's easy to use: simply join for free at, by submitting your name and email address. It saves a lot of time – and a lot of paper! I used to create my mood boards the practical (and slightly drawn-out) way: ripping out pictures I liked from magazines and pasting them on to a board alongside swatches of different fabrics.Īlthough that method is not without its charms, today I’ve streamlined the process hugely by using the online service Pinterest: a super smart and speedy visual discovery tool that helps me put my boards together digitally. Whether I am transforming my own home or styling a room for Good Housekeeping, not a stick of furniture or drape of material goes in that hasn't first been visualised on a conceptual board of colour, style and texture. Whether you're looking for home decor ideas and inspiration, or are searching for finishing touches, Pinterest is perfect for any interiors project.Įvery home decorproject I have ever done has started with a mood board.
