How to create a mood board for your dream bathroom

A mood board is a collage of images, textures, colours, or text that represent the style and atmosphere you want to achieve in your space. For a bathroom, this could include anything from tile samples and paint swatches to images of faucets, showers and furniture. The aim is to create a visual representation of your design concept to help you to refine your ideas and communicate them effectively to others involved in the project. It also helps focus on the project and your ideas, making the process more relaxed and enjoyable. 

Start by choosing your colour palette, as this will guide the other elements of your bathroom renovation design. If you're looking to make a bold colour statement, experiment with Nu’s vibrant shades, from mint green to honey yellow, and see how these playful tones interact with other design elements.

Once you have a sense of the colours you love, build around them. For example, if you like blue, combine The Gap’s smooth matt blue finish with Nu’s vibrant cobalt blue or mint green faucets to create the effect you want. Warm and rich earth tones are becoming increasingly popular in bathroom design. To explore this trend, pair images of Tura’s furniture in a light terracotta finish or Inspira’s deeper terracotta tones with different faucets and accessories to see if this look might be right for you.
  For a more minimalist look, a black-and-white mood board can be particularly striking. Play with the contrast of Cala or Targa’s matt white faucets against Horizon’s over-countertop black basin or Ona’s black ceramic basin. 

Available in cement, wood and ceramic, the new PS collection of flush plates is the perfect starting point for deciding which finishes to bring into your bathroom space.Pair a flush plate in wood finish with The Gap’s Nordic Ash or Tenet’s deeper walnut tone for a warm and inviting look. For an industrial look, combine a cement-finish flush plate with darker tones and textures. Bring in elements of nature by adding items that reflect this in their colour or shape. The Ohtake over-countertop basin, whose curved design is reminiscent of rolling waves, and the matt green or sand grey finish found in the Ona collection have a nature-inspired feel. Tura’s use of cork lids and trays and its felt baskets can also add a touch of warmth and earthy texture. Consider adding shower trays to the mood board that have the look and feel of soft stone, including the Terran-N collection.

Creating a mood board is an enjoyable and important step in the bathroom design process. It allows you to explore your creativity, refine your vision, and ensure that all elements of your design work together harmoniously. Whether you're planning a complete renovation or just a style refresh, a well-crafted mood board will guide you towards creating the bathroom of your dreams. So, gather your inspiration, start arranging those elements, and watch your perfect bathroom design come to life before your eyes!
