this is a paid advertorial with Corian® Design.

I’m sure many of you know Corian® Design from their beautiful countertop materials. Their portfolio includes solid surface as well as quartz materials in over 100 different colours and patterns. But did you know that it’s also a source of inspiration for architects, designers, and homeowners around the world? They believe that when designing a space, you’re not just putting a room together. Rather you are combining materials, textures, furniture and accessories to tell a story about who you are and what matters to you. These characterful additions and personal touches are what makes a house a home in my opinion as well, so I couldn’t agree more with their vision.

Corian® Design invited me to try out their Moodboard Maker: an online tool that allows designers and homeowners to create a unique inspiration board for a room that not only serves as a collection of reference textures, colors, patterns and materials, but also becomes a unique, personalized piece of art that can be shared, saved or printed and framed.

I decided to create a moodboard for my kitchen. To start making the moodboard, you first pick one of the styles that most represents you (you can pick from Organic, Minimal, Relaxed, Modern, Refined, Bohemian or Edgy). I picked the Minimal style, as this matches my kitchen interior the most. Then you fill the shapes with a Corian® swatch – my favorite countertop material in the kitchen would be a deep black – like Corian® Solid Surface in Deep Night Sky – so I used this as the basis for my kitchen moodboard. And lastly you can add any other images, patterns or textures you like. I added some of the beige, grey and green inspirational images to the board which fit nicely in the color palette and additionally went with some images of my favorite linen textiles as I think these pieces are crucial to finish the look.

For making any interior plans it’s always good to start out with the elements in a room that you currently like. I’m very happy with the contrasting black and grey, combined with plants, oak wood and different textiles like in the second picture I shot a little while ago. It would be great if I can extend this look to the entire room and that’s what I’ve based my moodboard on. Seeing these beautiful textures together makes me think about adding a different color of linen curtains and oak chairs to the dining area in our kitchen. A black table might also extend the look that I have going on and like so much on our kitchen counter.

The finished moodboard can be saved to your camera roll, shared with your friends on social media or you can order a framed print of it for your home. I think this is such a fun way to think about a room and it encourages you to make things personal and think outside the box.
