Mood Board App
These interior design mood boards are unbelievable, you guys are killing it!
If you feel overwhelmed and unsure of which mood board app to use for your interior design presentations, then you won’t want to miss this video. Here you’ll learn what some of the best programs are, including the programs that my team uses, as well as what other talented designers are using for their client projects.
You’ll see examples of incredible mood boards created in various programs which will help you to make an informed decision on which mood board app would work best for your interior design business.
After you watch the video, scroll to the bottom of this post to find out how I can further help you to easily create beautiful client presentation packages that can equate to further design services. After all, that is always the goal, right?!
Power Point
The first mood board app I’m featuring is the one that I use the most for my business and that’s Power Point.
Power Point is free and simple to use. You can easily change the size of an image and move the images around to exactly where you want them placed on your board. You can also add text in the same way.
Here are some examples of not only my own client mood boards, but other designers who use Powerpoint in their business as well.

Below is a photo of the actual client’s home, so you can see how well Jil can manage client expectations from her Power Point presentation!
Keynote
The second mood board app you can use is Keynote, which is a presentation software by Apple.
While I personally do not use apple or mac products, my senior designer recently used this program for our client’s beautiful condo presentation. Here are a few examples of the interior design mood boards created for the project.

Next up are 3 more interior design mood board apps available. Even though I have not tried these programs myself, I felt it was important to give you a range of options, so you can make an informed decision on which is best for you.
I reached out to my private Facebook group peeps and here are other programs & gorgeous mood board examples they kindly shared with me.
By the way, if you already use mood boards for your interior design presentations, comment below to let me know which program you prefer and why you like it!
Pages
This next software is also by Apple and is called ‘Pages’. Take a look at these wonderful mood boards created in the Pages program.

Photoshop
These 8 gorgeous mood boards shown below were created in Photoshop.
Photoshop may be one of my new favourite mood board apps and you can see why when you take a look at these incredibly beautiful vision boards.

Last but not least, the final interior design mood board program I’m featuring here is from Design Files.
Design Files is an online design platform that appears to be geared towards designers looking to run an e-design business. Below are 2 pretty design mood boards from Maria Bowers from Bdesign’D.

| 19 September 2019Great round up of presentation apps, Claire! And thanks for the feature! Visual communication tools are one of the most important pieces of a design job, they help the client “see” the potential and alway generate excitement :).
Claire Jefford
| 19 September 2019Thanks so much for sharing your mood boards Janet. I’m hopeful this vlog will help many other designers decide which mood board app is best for them. There are so many to choose from that it can be overwhelming. My goal is to inform and help others make an informed decision. Your input on this post helped me to do just that. Cheers again!
JIL SONIA INTERIORS
| 19 September 2019Wow, what a great summary of all the different software programs that interior designers are using!
Thanks so very much for the shout out and thanks to my guitarist hubby for suggesting the guitars to be housed in an easily opened glass framed case, so the guitars can be admired for their looks, but still easily accessed and played!
Great post Claire!
Claire Jefford
| 20 September 2019Brander is a smart man who knows guitars! Thanks Jil for allowing me to feature your beautiful work.
Pamela Sandall
| 19 September 2019Thanks for the share! I use Minutes Matter. It’s a program I bought years ago and closest probably to Photoshop. I like that I can load fabrics into scale on furniture and window coverings.
Claire Jefford
| 20 September 2019Hey Pamela, thanks for reminding me and readers of another mood board program. Maybe if I do a part 2, I will include Minutes Matter. I’ve never used it myself but have also heard good things about it. So many to choose from, eh?! Cheers for your feedback. 🙂
Deborah Main
| 21 September 2019Wonderful helpful post Claire. I’m going to try using Power Point this fall for the One Room Challenge. Really needing to up my game with mood boards so appreciated you sharing examples and programs. Great designer selection in here!
Claire Jefford
| 21 September 2019Ooooh, the One Room Challenge, you are a brave lady. I’ve yet to do that, but have always been intrigued by it. Glad my video and seeing what options are out there for creating beautiful mood boards helped you!
Mary Ann Benoit
| 20 September 2019Thanks for sharing. I like to use Photoshop for my moodboards or concept boards. Once in a while for creating something quicker, I use Canva.
Claire Jefford
| 20 September 2019Hi Mary Ann. If I didn’t know Power Point so well or was just starting off, I would definitely look at Photoshop as an option. I love the examples shared here by other designers. We use Canva all the time for graphics, love that program too! Thanks for sharing with us.
Leslie Carothers
| 21 September 2019This is such a helpful post, Claire. And I know it will help others, too. It was fun to see these pretty moodboard creations! I also know of another app that edesigntribe owner, interior designer Jenna Gaidusek, uses and recommends, called Floorplannner.
Claire Jefford
| 21 September 2019Thanks Leslie, I do hope many designers find it helpful. I think I could do a part 2 to share more mood board apps!
