Interior Design Mood Board Creation
If you decide to proceed with our interior design services, the next step is the creation of a bespoke mood board, also know as the interior design concept. This mood board is not just a collection of images - it serves as the visual identity of your home, laying the foundation for the entire design process. It’s an expressive blend of colours, materials, furniture references and imagery that reflects your unique personal style, lifestyle and aspirations for the space. Think of it as the "design DNA" of your home - the essence of the environment you want to create.

During this phase, we carefully consider every aspect of the space, from how you live and what you value to how you want the space to feel. Whether you prefer a minimalist aesthetic or a more eclectic approach, the mood board reflects all of these elements, bringing together design ideas that speak to your tastes. Once the mood board is crafted, we’ll use it as a guiding document for further design development, ensuring that every decision made aligns with your initial vision. The concept creation process allows us to start translating your visions for your home into reality, making sure the direction is clear before diving into the next phases of design.
