Creating your Vision Board

In The Goal of the Vision Board, we spoke of defining the hopes and dreams for your new home, kitchen, bathroom or other spaces.

First, you need to work out if you prefer an old-school vision board (like a corkboard), or a new-school digital one. Whichever medium works best for you is fine. The most important thing is that you can look at it frequently and easily. For what it’s worth, we love using a combo of Pinterest and Instagram to screenshot pics we love. We sometimes use an app called Canva to collect images together on one page.  Once you’ve decided on your medium, it’s time to get going.

1. Write your reno vision in 3-5 words. For example: “Transitional Hamptons Coastal”

2. Write how you want to feel using a few words. For example: “I want to feel like i’m on vacation every day”

3. Identify no more than 10 of your favourite inspiration shots and check that the pics match the words in steps 1 and 2. Do they look like the style you are trying to achieve?

5. Pin the words and pics on your vision board (remember this can be digital or a corkboard or a scrapbook). Whatever floats your boat.

Canva has amazing tutorials covering how to insert grids for photos and how to upload your own pictures. Take your time and have fun. I have to admit…Canva is addictive!

Here are a few sample boards for inspiration.
