If you’ve been around the blog a while you’ll know that planning is one thing I go on about for any room design. And the best tool you can use is a mood board.

It’s fun, it’s creative, and helps you get a good idea of what you want to create before rushing in and buying things left, right, and centre. And no you don’t have to be an expert designer to create a mood board.

Of course, you can use mood boards for just about anything. So it doesn’t have to be just room interiors that you’re focused on. You can use a mood board for planning a party, a vision board, a wedding, and lots of other uses. It’s a good way of putting down a starting plan for your vision and goals to come to life.

From beginner-friendly mood board apps to more professional programs, here are some of the best mood board apps you can try!

Best Mood Board Apps

1. Pinterest

I love Pinterest! It’s the best place to collect lots of different ideas and save them in one place. For home interiors they have the try on home feature which is a great tool.

Plus you can add notes to individual pins and collective boards. And for those reasons, it’s on the list even though technically I wouldn’t call it a mood board app.

In fact, I think they missed a trick here! But in terms of putting together simple ideas together in a digital space, Pinterest is still one of the best apps out there. You can add notes to the pins that you’ve saved as well.

If you haven’t already got a Pinterest account it is free to sign up. You can follow my account here.

2. Canva

Canva is one of the best apps to create your digital mood board. This is one of the best apps for someone who hasn’t used creative or graphic software before. It’s beginner-friendly and easy to use.

It’s one of my favourite creative apps. I use it on my computer and it’s just as easy to use on my phone. And I do use it on my phone a lot! The Canva Pro version is great and has an easy background remover tool.

Canva also has a lot of free templates you can use and stock photos. Or you can upload your photos too. Little extras like graphics and stickers can be used to make your mood board more fun. Choosing fonts that match your theme or idea helps make your mood board more interesting.

You can sign up with your email address for the free version of Canva. Or the pro version is $10.99 a month. The pro version also comes with a brand kit which is super helpful. As you can save your colours, fonts and logos all in one place.

Canva is always adding more features to the platform. Recently they’ve added a print option that delivers a physical printout straight to your home. You even have the option to get your print framed. Prices vary on the sizes and the quantity. But it’s a great resource to have if needed!

3. PicMonkey

PicMonkey is another beginner-friendly app for creating lovely layouts for design or social.

It has similar tools to Canva, with a one-click background remover. Which is one of the most useful things to have when it comes to creating your mood board. Again like Canva, PicMonkey does offer lots of different templates you can try.

If you want to keep things simple for a mood board. You can try their collage creator. A simple and customizable grid template to set up your mood board. They also have an art collage if you want to create more of a freestyle mood board.

PicMonkey does offer a free trial for you to start with. And there are 3 options if you choose to continue. A basic package, a pro, and a business version.

4. Adobe Express

If you know about Adobe, you’ll probably hear the name and run. But this is Adobe Express, which is simple and easy enough to “create a mood board in minutes.” They have templates you can use and there’s a free version you can try.

5. Evernote

Evernote Best Mood Board Apps

Evernote is an unusual app on the list. But this note-taking app can be used for making mood boards as well. As Evernote is a great organization tool it makes sense that it would be a great place to put all your thoughts and ideas together.

Adding in a few images and grouping them with your notes and there you have your mood board!

6. Mood Board AI

Whether you love it or hate it AI is everywhere, and this app uses AI to its every advantage.

Mood Board AI isn’t just for creating room interiors there are different categories to select from such as wedding, fashion, and even food photography.

You pick your parent category and the style you’d like to create your mood board in and use the prompt chat to change and add details. With the room design category, it goes one step further by uploading your mood board into its Room Designer to make it a 3D room visual.

7. Mural

Mural is a great design app for team collaboration. You can work on a mood board as a team dragging and dropping ideas into the “whiteboard” for brainstorming sessions. You can also use the AI assistant to get quick starter ideas and summarize your sessions.

You can get started on the free package with unlimited users and access to their templates.

Best Mood Board Apps For Interior Design

Any apps mentioned in the post can be used for interior design. It just depends on how you want to create your mood board for your design. If you want to explore interiors more or a creative design route, these are some of the apps and programs you can look into more.

8. Adobe Suite

Adobe Suite

There is more than one app you can use from Adobe Suite for your mood boards. Adobe Photoshop, Adobe InDesign, and Adobe Illustrator are the most popular. I still use these design programs today as there is so much you can do with them.

If you’re planning to print out bigger sizes of your mood board, then Illustrator is the best program to use as it’s a vector-based graphic app. This means you can digitally trace over images so they don’t become blurry if you need them to be larger.

Use Adobe Illustrator if it’s more of a professional setting at work or school, for a clean crisp image. Photoshop and Illustrator are worth learning if you want to get into any creative career.

There’s so much to cover with these two apps. I still learn new things every time I use them! There are Adobe courses you can take to push your skills further.

The basic tools you should know about are the draw tool, the lasso and magnetic lasso tool, the fill tool (the bucket), the rectangular marquee tool, and the move tool.

With Adobe Suite you can do a free trial first. You can pick an individual app or choose the whole graphic suite at a monthly fee. Once you pay for the apps you can have them on your phone and desktop.

9. Milanote

This is an app that I like and that I should use more. Milanote is great for putting your ideas together and creating your mood board. Allowing you to save links, and videos to make an interactive digital mood board.

If you’re collaborating with a client or your team, Milanote is ideal for sharing, organizing, and managing your creative ideas. You can create bullet lists, notes, and direct links to your home decor and furniture.

With Milanote you can start with a free trial and then upgrade to an individual or team package later.

10. Morpholio

Morpholio

If you’re thinking about a career in interior design or architecture, Morpholio is a great app to start practicing on. A lot of big design companies use this app for presentations and drawing work.

To create a mood board in Morpholio, you’ll need to download the Morpholio Board app. The Morpholio apps you can only download if you have Apple products. Devices such as the iPhones, iPads, and Macs.

With the Morpholio Board, you can connect your Pinterest account to their app. Quick and easy for direct access to your saved ideas.

If you’ve saved furniture pins you can easily remove the background and add it to your mood board. This is great if you want to create a mood board interior and lay out the pieces as you’d expect to see in a room.

When pinning furniture pieces Morpholio also has a spreadsheet section. It automatically saves the pieces you’ve used in an itemized format. It also saves all the links to all the pieces you’ve saved. So helpful!

So if you want to stay super organized for a client or your room renovation or makeover this is a good tool to use!

That rounds up the best mood board apps. There’s a tutorial post on how to make your mood board on Canva. And if there are any other apps you have tried that you feel should be added let me know!

  2. Great mood board comparison! You might have a look at https://Moodboardly.com too. I built this product for my wife to simplify her interior design process. I focused on making the editing experience similar to Canva but made importing products a breeze. The shareable purchase lists are nice too, I think. I would love to hear your feedback!
