How it works

01

Pick a room and a layout

Start a new board for the space you're working on — bedroom, kitchen, living room — and choose a grid. The layout does the composition for you.

02

Gather your inspiration

Drop in photos of rooms, furniture, colours, and materials from your camera roll, your saved Pinterest pins, or the built-in Unsplash search. Add a colour block or two for your palette.

03

See it, then shop it

Save your board and keep it on your phone. Now every purchase can be checked against the vision — so the room comes together instead of clashing.

Room by room

A board for every space in your home.

Bedroom

Bedroom mood boards

Start with the feeling you want to wake up to — calm and neutral, warm and cocooning, or rich and jewel-toned. Gather bedding textures, a headboard, a wall colour, lamp light, and one or two pieces of art, then add a colour block for your palette. Seeing it all together makes it obvious whether the emerald, the brass, and the ochre actually belong in the same room.

Kitchen

Kitchen mood boards

Kitchens are where the finishes have to work hard together — cabinets, worktop, splashback, floor, and hardware. Put them side by side on a board before you order, and test the warm wood against the stone, the matte against the gloss. It's the easiest way to avoid an expensive mismatch, and to walk into the showroom knowing exactly what you want.

Living room

Living room mood boards

The living room is your hardest-working space, so it pays to see the whole picture first. Collect the sofa, the rug, the coffee table, the lighting, and the accent colours in one frame. When the big pieces and the little details live on the same board, you can feel whether the room will read as cosy, calm, or bold — long before the delivery van arrives.

Perfect for

A full room refresh

Pull together the whole look of a room — walls, floors, furniture, and light — before you commit to anything.

A renovation

Gather materials, finishes, and fixtures in one place so your builder or the shop assistant sees exactly what you mean.

Rental-friendly styling

Plan the swaps that make a rental yours — textiles, art, and accents — without touching a wall.

Choosing a palette

Test paint colours and tones against your furniture before a single tin is opened.

Shopping with a plan

Keep your vision on your phone so you buy pieces that actually go together, not on impulse.

Briefing a pro

Show a designer, decorator, or partner the feeling you're after — a board says it faster than words.
