So we asked Roland Hartmann and his team at Hartmann Designs to talk us through the process and give their tips on creating the perfect and most useful mood board for your residential scheme.

We begin the process by presenting the Client’s with a range of mood images. These are finished Interiors which give them an overall impression of different styles. These will suggest the feel of the scheme and gives the client an opportunity to isolate key features that they like or dislike.’
