What is a Kitchen Mood Board?

A kitchen mood board is a curated collection of images, materials, colors, and textures that represent the style and overall vision you want to achieve in your new kitchen. It’s a visual tool that helps you gather and organize all of your different design ideas. By assembling one, you can better visualize how different elements will work together, ensuring the final result is a beautiful and cohesive kitchen design that’s just what you imagined.

Creating a Kitchen Mood Board

Before designing your dream kitchen, we need to understand your style and preferences. That’s where creating a kitchen mood board comes in handy.

Step 1: Initial Consultation. We start with an in-depth consultation to understand what aesthetic you envision for your kitchen and the functional aspects your family and lifestyle require. We’ll discuss your favorite styles, colors, and any specific ideas you have in mind. 

Step 2: Curating Inspiration. Based on our conversation, we gather a selection of images and materials that fit your style. We use our extensive library of photos, door samples, countertop samples, and more to find the perfect inspiration for your kitchen.

Step 3: Selecting a Color Palette. We’ll help you choose a color palette that reflects the mood you want to create. Whether you prefer warm and inviting tones, cool and sleek shades, or bright and airy hues, we’ll assemble a color palette that fosters just the right atmosphere.

Step 4: Door and Countertop Samples. We provide a variety of door and countertop samples for you to explore. This way, you can see firsthand how different materials and finishes look together, making it easier to decide on the perfect combination.

Step 5: Exploring Textures. Texture plays a crucial role in the overall look and feel of your kitchen. We’ll include samples of tiles, woods, metals, and other materials to add depth and character to your mood board.

Step 6: Finalizing the Kitchen Mood Board. Once you’ve narrowed down all of the elements, we’ll organize them into a cohesive kitchen mood board that will showcase how the colors, materials, and textures work together.

Designing with a Kitchen Mood Board

Once your kitchen mood board is complete, it serves as a blueprint throughout the design process. We use your kitchen mood board to ensure that every decision – from cabinetry to appliances to accessories – aligns with your vision. Our team will refer to the kitchen mood board to maintain consistency and cohesion, creating a kitchen that truly reflects your style and meets your needs.

The Importance of Collaborating

While you can certainly find inspiration pictures yourself, it’s difficult (and expensive) for an individual to source all of the different samples needed to create a kitchen mood board. That’s why we recommend collaborating with a professional design company who will do all of the hard work for you. It’s their job, after all!
