Do you have mood boards? Well, I want to see them!

And I want to show you mine.

The board could be about anything. Clothes, art, design, vacations, kidnapping plans. . . whatever. Mine are all mostly about three different rooms in my future house and they are all Pinterest pinboards. I don’t know how to use one of those fancy mood board apps. The aesthetic? I like to call in Light Steampunk Academia Edwardian World Traveler.

Please, PLEASE don’t be shy and show me whatcha got.

Well dang, that’s some really nice stuff. I’m kind of a minimalist, but I’m rethinking that now.

If you start trying to put your ideas of what you think you like on a Pinterest board or the like, you can see and feel what you really gravitate to. I started off thinking I loved Victorian era but, come to find out, it far too fussy and swirly and multi-prints-y and busy for me. I ended up with. . . this.

You should do a Pinterest board of what you think you’d like in an interior and see what you end up with. And then post it here!

We (ad agency/design shop) used to have clients come in for a brainstorming session. They’d work with us to make really broad mood boards.

So not final products (“Here’s what we want our ads to look like”, or “A board of cool logos, let’s do something like these!”).

Instead, we’d be cutting out* colors, textures, clouds, fashions, type, people, animals, ANYthing.
*Literally cutting. We’d start with a stack of magazines and museum books.

I wonder if I kept any pics of those boards… they were wild collages. And works of art.

Ohhh! That would be so cool!

Here’s a cool one, but a lot of work!

It is a work of art. And also a conspiracy theorist’s evidence board. Now I want something like this for real hanging in my craft room.

I did not curate this result but it’s what came up when I put in things that inspired some pervious design choices…
…Sorry URL doesn’t go where I planned

I don’t think everyone sees the same thing you see, Ike.

I don’t think you’re allowed to post stuff like that on this board.

A typo…I don’t have use of my right hand.

Get your mind out of the gutter :sweat_smile:

My response has nothing to do with the pervy typo. I think if you link to a general interest Pinterest page, it goes by what you have previously looked at. So when I go to your link I see round mirrors, leather club chairs, steampunky ship steers and both tiffany and pipe lamps.
