Vision Boards or Mood Boards, either title is accurate, are an incredibly useful aspect of my workflow both with clients and on my own. When I am initially brain storming ideas I use Pinterest to dump absolutely everything and then refine my thoughts by constructing multiple vision boards to create a more cohesive design plan.

While the vision board is not the only tool in my box, it is a wonderfully simple way to begin to tell the story of my client’s space. Once I have a few ideas that I think can work well, I will collaborate once again with my client to see where we land on colors/textures etc.

REAL CLIENT SAMPLE

Current master bedroom is “move in basic” and not at all representative of her and her husband’s personalities. Based on our initial conversation, I pulled together a jewel tone color scheme (Fig A) that reflects what I heard her tell me they want in their space and where they are comfortable budget-wise. Modern, color, sophistication, gender neutral were all components of the conversation so I kept all of those in mind for my vision board. The lighter option (Fig B) kept some elements the same, but overall lightened the space and used a piece of art, I know she loves, as the jumping off point.

Where do you think we landed??? As the project progresses I will share updates.
