There&#8217;s another way to keep track of design elements and ideas when you are focusing on one particular room or project. \u00a0Designers have been creating<strong> idea boards<\/strong> for ages. Typically, an idea board consists of an actual board with samples attached to it (think paint chips, fabric swatches, photos, carpet and\/or tile samples, etc.). \u00a0Idea boards help create a visual representation of a designer&#8217;s ideas for her client. \u00a0Let&#8217;s be honest, it can be overwhelming and difficult to put together all those elements in your mind without seeing them in person, all together. \u00a0And if we&#8217;re talking about carpet and furniture, it&#8217;s all about the feel. \u00a0However, there are instances in which a virtual idea board can come in just as handy&#8230;say, when a client lives in a different state!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jjordan.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Patch-Residence.001.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-35\" alt=\"Patch Residence.001\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jjordan.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Patch-Residence.001-300x225.png\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jjordan.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Patch-Residence.001-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/www.jjordan.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Patch-Residence.001.png 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I am currently working in that exact scenario&#8230;a client who lives in a neighboring state, too far to &#8220;pop over&#8221; and work together in person. \u00a0So I began by creating an idea board that I could easily email to her, add to, take away from&#8230;you get the idea. \u00a0This idea board was a way for me to visually show my client the types of items I had in mind for her space &#8212; the shapes, colors, and textures that I was recommending. \u00a0My client was able to choose which items she wanted to pursue, and in some cases, it gave us a starting point for finding a similar item but perhaps in a different size or color. \u00a0Admittedly, working online only to put a room together is not ideal, and it&#8217;s not easy (remember my above comment about seeing things in person?)! \u00a0It&#8217;s time- consuming and requires a lot of back-and-forth, but \u00a0idea boards are the next best thing in this type of work arrangement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Even if you&#8217;re an avid user of Pinterest, which I most certainly am, you know that it&#8217;s a great resource for keeping track of ideas of all kinds, grouped together in themes.
