Stop Presenting Scattered Mood Boards: Use This Interior Design Portfolio Book Instead

Every interior design project begins with your great ideas of beautiful interiors. You begin to collate your ideas here and there.

You save images on your phone, fabric samples strewn all over your desk, and colour swatches stashed in envelopes. Then, there are quick sketches you made in different notebooks and supplier details in tattered jotters.

And, of course, no tangible checklists to keep your project in check.

At first, it feels creative, like a new penthouse studio. Then, as time goes by, it becomes messy, overly cluttered, and your creativity? Utterly disorganised.

When mood boards are scattered and lack structure, your presentation loses power, and your clients will struggle to follow your thinking.

If you are a student, your teachers won't understand your concepts, and if you are an employee, your employers can't make sense of your ideas.

You end up spending too much time reorganising instead of designing. And that is why I created Mood Board Pages for Interior Designers: An Interior Design Portfolio Organiser Journal.

This is not a regular notebook. It's a niche-specific, structured mood board portfolio book designed to help you build clean, professional visual presentations in one tidy place.

Inside it, you can:

• Paste inspiration images.
• Attach fabric swatches and material samples.
• Plan colour themes and palettes.
• Sketch, draw, or doodle on designated pages.
• Record vendor and supplier information.
• Write notes that explain your design decisions.
• Keep detailed checklists for each client project.

Additionally, you'll find dotted grid spreads for structured layouts and blank canvas sections for full creative freedom, side note sections, so that you can clearly explain the hows, whats, and whys of your design concepts.

 

All these features matter because interior design is not only about beautiful ideas. It is also about communicating those ideas clearly and professionally.

When your mood boards are presented in a professional book format, your work instantly appears more serious, more refined, and more trustworthy.

• Students can use it as a portfolio.
• Freelancers can use it to present their ideas to clients.
• Beginner and practising designers can use it to organise multiple projects.
• Decorators and home styling professionals can use it to refine concepts before execution.

Instead of flipping through loose papers and scattered notes, you now have one organised portfolio system to record and document projects and assignments. One space; one clear presentation tool.

If you are serious about presenting your interior design ideas in a clean, professional way, stop being random and be intentional instead. Start building your concepts in a structured portfolio book. Your ideas deserve better than clutter.

This mood board planner gives your creativity a boost, and your clients a reason to trust your vision.
