(If a product isn't linked - such as the shelves, door, and skirting - it's because it was a PNG from Google Images.)
I usually start my mood boards off by finding one thing that I love - a chair, wallpaper, a vase, a piece of art - and then I work outwards from there. With this mood board, it was the Canyon wallpaper by Arte that got the ball rolling. I love the abstract representation of teal water cutting through a rocky orange valley.
I wanted a third colour to go with the muted teal and orange, so I used Coolours to help find a complementary shade. I decided on a yellow-green in the end. I think it's chic, and pairs well with the wallpaper. The striking black mouldings act as a frame for the room's design scheme. I love a dramatic contrast.
I'm hoping to create more mood boards this year (I think I only did 3 last year) so look forward to more.
