What is a mood board?

Think of a mood board as a visual guide – a collage of inspiration that captures the desired mood, tone, or style of a project. It typically includes images, colour schemes, quotes, textures, and other elements that help communicate a creative direction or concept. Piecing together a mood board before you start a creative process can give you the clarity you need to see a project through to completion in a way that matches your vision.

Using a mood board is a great way to develop an idea, set goals, and stay on track—and they’re also a lot of fun to create.
