A mood board is simply a collection of items or photographs of items that you put together in one place to view how they collectively fit. It can be put together on a bulletin board, laid out on a table or floor, or it can even be created on your computer as just a visual. Gathering a variety of textures, colors, shapes, and products and putting them all in one place is truly one of the best ways to see what your overall design aesthetic currently looks like. If you’re in the planning stages of your renovation or refresh, we highly recommend you start with a mood board.
To help you get a few ideas for your mood board, we asked five influencers to select their favorite Twenty for 2020 products and use them to create the inspiration for new spaces in their homes. Check out what they look like below, and let us know which one is your favorite in the comments! Keep in mind, your mood board will be completely unique, and can include a variety of elements, not just the ones from the examples shown below.
Sara of Twelve on Main gravitated toward our lighter flooring options and chose both Monterey Heights in "Stampede" by Rustic River™ Hardwood, and West Barclay in "Delightful" by Invincible™ H2O™ Luxury Vinyl. She added texture to bring her vision to life with linens and took other objects from the room, like greenery, that fit her aesthetic to pull it all together.

Opting for Roosevelt Hill in "Summerfield" by Rustic River™ Hardwood, Erin of Erin Spain Home & DIY added some nature-inspired colors like blue and green, to soften the stark black and white contrast that she loves. She incorporated a sea grass basket, which adds a pop of texture, and pairs brass accents with the overall picture to bring all the neutrals to life.
