Shape the direction

All fields here are optional, but each one you fill makes the board more yours. You can even upload an inspiration image and tell the AI what you like about it.

Heads-up: the moodboard is a premium feature — it generates three full pages, so it uses more of your plan than a single image.

Watch the three pages build

The board is generated page by page — 1. Concept, 2. Materials & Textures, 3. Furniture & Styling — each taking about a minute. If a page fails, one click retries just that page.

A real finished moodboard — all 3 pages

Download the PDF

When all three pages are done, hit Download PDF — you get a titled, client-ready document ("Prepared for Anna & Tom") plus each page as a separate image. Perfect for kicking off a project conversation.

Designer workflow: send the PDF to your client before the first meeting. Agreeing on direction from a moodboard costs minutes — changing direction after the renders are done costs days.
