Family life: Mood boards can be useful design tool
People thinking about making home improvements to their property could use a mood board, according to one expert, whose suggestion might inspire those looking to improve their family life.
Bradford-born Linda Barker, who rose to prominence on the BBC's hit reality show Changing Rooms, said that people should collect pictures and looks from magazines so they can get a good idea of how they want a room to appear.
"It is about creating a look for themselves- designers will do it quite quickly and create a look book or a mood board. I really encourage people to do it for themselves in their own home," she stated.
Mood boards can be a great way of focusing ideas before making big changes to a property, according to Mrs Barker.
4Homes blog recently stated that the folk look will be big this year and encouraged readers to consider using natural materials to get good results.
