One of the services I offer is custom design boards. To me, these are such a great tool for helping a client get started. I consider these the best choice for anyone who wants to do most of the work on their own, but needs ideas and guidance. To give you an idea of how they work I thought I’d revisit a design board and show you how the actual room looks today.
It started with a client asking me to help brainstorm ideas for her kids playroom. She and her husband were eager to get started and both of them were willing to do hands-on projects. I came up with these designs based on our conversations:
In this case, I started with lots of little notes and general ideas:
{A color scheme, pillows, rugs, storage bins, cool light fixtures}
Then I gave more specific ideas for the different areas of the room:
{A gallery wall for their kids art, sconces, bright graphic pillows, and a coat of paint and casters for an existing shelf}
{They had pinned several chalkboard walls so I suggested painting an accent wall and trimming it out. I also thought it would be fun to add some large canvas prints of their kids. And for extra seating a bench recovered in kid-friendly outdoor fabric.}
And I always include several options while choosing accessories:
{I thought a playful light was a necessity for this room as well as a fun plush rug and patterned curtains. I also wanted to give them lots of storage that would disguise some of the toys and playroom clutter.}
I use design boards for my own personal projects as well. I am a visual thinker and it helps me narrow in on a design when I can see all of the pieces together. With quick collages like this, I am able to determine what colors and patterns are going to work together in real life. I played around with some things while planning my office…
