I use mood boards A LOT. I offer them to my clients as part of my packages, and regularly create mini ones if I am working on a project I am having trouble picturing how the space and accessories work together. They are particularly handy if you are flicking back and forth between web pages to work out if the colors all work together. While buying online is admittedly a slight lottery – in my experience if the colors work on a mood board they generally do in real life (don’t hold me to that).

I’m currently working on a cute little Condo in Greenpoint, Brooklyn – it’s a small and lovely space but a classic ‘white box’ and her style is very eclectic and retro with a love of 60s designs. The client already owned this couch and came to me for help injecting some color into the room.

I tried various shades of creams and greens and yellows until I stumbled across Faded Terracotta by Farrow and Ball and it just WORKED. Using a mood board to test all these out when I don’t have physical access to the couch was a life saver!

This is a more ‘high tech’ mood board I do for clients where I use real furniture and use these to give an idea to my clients how all the pieces work together. I have found these to be incredibly useful to my clients who just struggle with visualizing the end result! It’s super easy to change out different furniture pieces, or try a new rug or lamp and you keep going until you love it.
