How to Make a Remodeling Inspiration Board Like a Pro

Planning a remodel involves making numerous decisions, from choosing the contractor with the most reasonable bathroom or kitchen quote to selecting colors and materials. One thing that can help you visualize your dream space is an inspiration board. It is a collection of images, sketches, color swatches, material samples and anything that captures your project’s vision. Continue reading to get tips on how to create one.

Look for Inspiration

Pinterest, Houzz and Instagram are some of the most popular online platforms where you can get interior design ideas. You can also find inspiration from home improvement shows and magazines. Gather photos of designs that spark your interest.

Collect paint chips, fabric swatches and other material samples. Do you have a friend or relative who recently remodeled their home? You might be able to get ideas for your interior remodeling project after visiting them.

Organize Your Inspiration Board

Traditionally, inspiration boards are created by collating cut-out images and physical material samples. However, you might find it more convenient to make yours digitally. For instance, Pinterest allows you to save your ideas on digital boards, which you can label by room or category. Canva is another well-known graphic design platform. Many of its templates and graphics are free to use, making crafting your inspiration board effortless.

Share Your Ideas

Creating an inspiration board can take a couple of days or even weeks. You will eventually see common themes and patterns as you add more elements to your board. You can show your completed board to your contractor in your project’s design phase. It can help them understand your vision better and ensure you are on the same page.
