How do I make an interior design moodboard online?

What it does
Features
Palette extraction
The tool picks out the main colours in each photo and lays them out as swatches you can build a scheme around.
Style presets
Start from a preset when you have a style in mind but no images yet, then replace pieces with your own.
Material chips
Place chips for finishes beside your images to see colour and texture together, much as you would with physical samples.
Free arrangement
Move images, swatches and chips around the board until the composition reads clearly.
PNG export at 2,400 px
Download the finished board as a PNG 2,400 pixels wide, ready for a slide, an email or print.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
How big is the exported moodboard?
Boards export as PNG images 2,400 pixels wide, enough for a full-screen slide or a crisp print at A4 width.
Are my photos uploaded when I make a board?
No. The moodboard maker runs in your browser, so your photos are processed on your own device. Arcvelle has no cloud storage for boards or projects today.
Can I use the palette in Arcvelle Studio?
Yes. Carry the colours into the Studio as custom wall paint, which accepts any colour on each side of a wall, and match floor finishes from the 17 available.
What makes a good interior moodboard?
Keep it focused: a limited palette, one or two lead materials, and images that share a similar quality of light. A board that mixes too many directions is hard to act on.
Do the colours on screen match real paint?
Not exactly. Screens vary in brightness and calibration, and paint looks different in daylight and lamplight and with different sheens. Use the board to choose a direction, then check physical samples in the room before buying.
Is the moodboard maker free?
Yes, and there is no sign-up. It sits alongside Arcvelle Studio and the other standalone tools, all of which are free today.
