Use Your Summer Inspiration — Create a Mood Board

Who doesn’t love summer? Warm weather, barbecues and long sunny days bring new decor inspiration. But let’s be honest, it’s difficult to apply these design changes. Let us help you muster the courage to move forward, starting with one simple mood board.

There’s a heat wave sweeping the country, but we see sunbathing season as the perfect time to bring freshness indoors, and welcome a new sunny mood into your home.

Not sure where to start? We think good design begins with a mood board.

Whether you want to renovate your apartment, refresh your wardrobe or decorate an old table, you first begin to visualize the final picture. We all subconsciously create visual mood boards in our minds, but why not put that down on paper?

Try to make your personal mood board with things that inspire you. Now that summer is here we’re inspired by all of the citrus colors around us. Color can transform and refresh a dull interior.

Sun rays that fill your room with light, flowers that blossom on the edge of the park or even fresh-cut blades of grass can all be reflected in your interior.

What inspires your decor?

Read on below about some items we’re adding to our own visualization board, and click the links to shop and select these items for your very own brainstorm.

Villa Lounge Chair
The blue shades of this summery chair give a feeling of freshness and draw feelings of ocean and sky, the thin legs give us a feeling of lightness.

Ombre Pillows
It’s always fun to pick out accents. A great pillow is the perfect way to add a pop of color without going with full on wall color. Our Ombre pillows perfectly create a fresh, bright, and cozy look.

Alfa Dining Chair
Summer — it’s the time of year we all like to lie in the sun loungers, but you can bring the beach inside with a paper cord seat on one of our uniquely designed dining chairs. Relax with a cool drink right in the comfort of you own home.

Atlanta Brass Bowls
Welcome the sun right inside your home. These shiny gold brass bowls refract light just beautifully, and can even hold your valuables. Add some citrus to tie the whole color theme together.

Hanna 4 Credenza
Speaking of citrus, the colorful doors of our Hanna series of credenzas bring new life to a classic space. Yellow and white not your thing? Choose from a variety of door color options to suit your space.

To those who don’t feel as inspired by these hot summer days, we hear you. Sometimes it’s nice to simply escape into the shadows and plunge into air conditioned coolness.

If you can’t come up with your own design inspo, outsource it! Follow our citrus-y summer inspo board on Pinterest here.
