DWS 11: Visualise Your Ideas

Step 3 of the 5-step process to downsize with style is a creative task which will help you visualise your ideas, thoughts, and findings.

To visualise your ideas on a mood board or in a style journal is an important step along the way to create a stylish and functional home — especially if you are not sure that your ideas will work or not yet confident enough to put your interior together.

Visualising and translating your ideas on a mood board will

• spark your creativity
• help you stay organised and in control of your project
• define your colour scheme
• paint a clear picture of the overall look and feel of your space
• improve your skills as interior decorator.

In this week's podcast I am going to show you step-by-step how to develop a mood board and how to translate your ideas into your space. Designers of all genres use this method to visualise their design concepts to their clients. ‘A mood board is a type of poster design that may consist of images, text, and samples of objects in a composition of the choice of the mood board creator.’ (Wikipedia)
