# Design your room before you spend a penny. > Plan a bedroom, kitchen, or living room by gathering colours, textures, and furniture into one board — no design skills needed. - URL: https://www.aethel-app.com/interior-design-mood-board - Platform: iPhone (iOS 16 or later). App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6756817775 - Pricing: free to download. Aethel Premium is a one-time purchase, not a subscription. Aethel turns the colours, textures, and furniture you love into a beautiful interior design mood board — for your bedroom, kitchen, or living room. Built for everyday people, not designers. No skills, no subscription, just your photos. ## How it works 1. **Pick a room and a layout** — Start a new board for the space you're working on (bedroom, kitchen, living room) and choose a grid. The layout does the composition for you. 2. **Gather your inspiration** — Drop in photos of rooms, furniture, colours, and materials from your camera roll, your saved Pinterest pins, or the built-in Unsplash search. Add a colour block or two for your palette. 3. **See it, then shop it** — Save your board and keep it on your phone. Now every purchase can be checked against the vision, so the room comes together instead of clashing. ## A board for every space in your home ### Bedroom mood boards Start with the feeling you want to wake up to — calm and neutral, warm and cocooning, or rich and jewel-toned. Gather bedding textures, a headboard, a wall colour, lamp light, and one or two pieces of art, then add a colour block for your palette. Seeing it all together makes it obvious whether the emerald, the brass, and the ochre actually belong in the same room. Bedding and textures · headboard and lighting · wall colour · art and details. ### Kitchen mood boards Kitchens are where the finishes have to work hard together — cabinets, worktop, splashback, floor, and hardware. Put them side by side on a board before you order, and test the warm wood against the stone, the matte against the gloss. It's the easiest way to avoid an expensive mismatch, and to walk into the showroom knowing exactly what you want. Cabinets and worktops · splashback and tile · flooring · hardware and taps. ### Living room mood boards The living room is your hardest-working space, so it pays to see the whole picture first. Collect the sofa, the rug, the coffee table, the lighting, and the accent colours in one frame. When the big pieces and the little details live on the same board, you can feel whether the room will read as cosy, calm, or bold — long before the delivery van arrives.

A board says it faster than words. ## Why Aethel - **Smart grid layouts** — Wallpaper, story, and portrait formats do the composition for you.

Download Aethel, open a new board, and pick a grid layout. Add photos of the rooms, furniture, colours, and materials you love — from your camera roll, your own saved Pinterest pins, or the built-in Unsplash search — then add a few colour blocks for your palette. Save it and set it as your wallpaper. Most people finish their first room board in about ten minutes, with no design skills needed. ### Is there a free interior design mood board maker? Yes. Aethel is a free interior design mood board maker for iPhone. You can build and export boards for free; Premium features like unlimited boards, every template, and premium fonts are an optional one-time purchase, not a subscription. ### Do I need to be an interior designer to use it? Not at all. Aethel is built for everyday people, not designers. The smart grids handle alignment and spacing for you, so you just pick the images and colours you love and the app makes the board look intentional. If you can scroll Instagram, you can make a beautiful interior mood board. ### What should be on an interior design mood board? Most interior mood boards mix a few room references, a colour palette, materials and textures (wood, stone, linen, brass), key furniture pieces, and a detail or two like lighting or artwork. The goal is to see whether it all works together before you buy anything. ### Can I make separate boards for each room? Yes. Many people make one board per room — a bedroom board, a kitchen board, a living room board — so each space has its own clear direction. With Aethel Premium you can make unlimited boards and keep them all in one place. ### Can I set my interior mood board as my wallpaper? Yes. Export any board as a high-quality image and set it as your iPhone lock screen or home screen, or add it as a widget — so your renovation vision stays in front of you while you shop and plan. ## Related - [Mood Board Maker](https://www.aethel-app.com/mood-board-maker): The free, no-skills-needed mood board maker — pick your photos and Aethel builds the board. - [What Is a Mood Board?](https://www.aethel-app.com/guides/what-is-a-mood-board): New to mood boards?
