Casa Cole - Mood Boards

Interior designers often use 'mood boards' as a way to communicate their design ideas to clients or a design team. As we all know, interior designers are visual and what better way to portray an idea than through a collage of pictures! 


Here are a couple mood boards that I designed for Casa Cole, an online store full of interior products.

Big Thanks to HOUZZ.com

Tickled pink when I found out that Houzz.com, which is by far the best inspiration search engine, featured the Belvedere powder bathroom in their 'Ideabook'!!

Here is the link to the article, picture #3 was designed by the one and only - Design Studio2010

http://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/1651221/list/Designer-s-Touch--10-Powerful-Powder-Rooms

If you ever feel like you are dragging with your creativity level or have a crazy idea but need a reference picture - Houzz is the best resource, it's loaded with professional photos from designers and architects. When designers like myself upload a project/picture, we tag the photo with keywords. For example, this powder bathroom above has keywords like 'tiled countertop, antique Spanish tile, Venetian red walls, antique gold mirror, copper vessel sink...'. If you're looking for inspiration, you can browse their Powder Bathroom category, or type in the search bar 'Venetian walls, Venetian red walls, antique Spanish tile..' and this picture in addition to hundred others that have the same keywords will pop up!

If you're addicted to Pinterest, then Houzz is your new best friend!
