This is a great demonstration of the power of planning using mood boards. Before even a single piece of furniture is ordered, its all planned on paper.
A mood board is furniture pictures, fabric swatches and accessory images grouped together in poster format to help show a homeowner what type of atmosphere the new decor will create. A mood board is extremely useful for establishing the aesthetic feel of the interior. The mood board is intentionally casual; it lets the me start with broad strokes and get feedback before too much time is invested in the wrong direction.
