ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Mood board

A mood board is like a big picture poster that helps people figure out what style they want for something they're making or designing. Imagine you're trying to decide what your new bedroom will look like, but you're not sure what colors, furniture, and decorations you want. You can gather different pictures of things you like and put them on a board to help you see what they all look like together.

For example, you could cut out pictures from magazines or print out pictures from the internet of bedrooms with different styles. Then, you would glue or tape these pictures onto a board or piece of paper. You might also add other things like fabric swatches, paint samples, or quotes that capture the mood or feeling you want your room to have.

By making a mood board, you can see all your ideas and inspiration in one place. It helps you to decide what colors, patterns, and textures you like, and it can also help you to communicate your vision to other people who might be helping you design or decorate your room.
