Mood Board Magic: How to Create a Cohesive Kitchen or Bath Look
May 9, 2025
Planning a remodel can be exciting—but when you're choosing cabinets, countertops, tile, and flooring all at once, it can quickly become overwhelming. That’s where a mood board comes in. At Ted’s Floors & Beyond, we walk you through the process of putting all the pieces together so your kitchen or bath feels beautifully balanced and uniquely you.
🎨 What Is a Mood Board?
A mood board is a visual layout of your material selections, color palette, finishes, and design inspirations. It helps you see how each element interacts before making any final decisions.
Think of it as your remodeling compass—it keeps your vision focused and prevents impulse decisions that may clash in the final design.
🧩 Start with Your Focal Point
Every great design starts with inspiration. Choose one main element that sets the tone—maybe it’s a gorgeous set of Wellborn Cabinets, a bold backsplash tile, or hat dreamy quartz countertop you can’t stop thinking about.
Let that anchor piece guide your color palette and supporting materials.
🎯 Coordinate, Don’t Compete
When choosing additional design elements, think in terms of:
- Contrast: Light cabinets with darker flooring or vice versa.
- Tone: Warm vs. cool tones—pick a lane and stay there.
- Texture: Mix it up! Try pairing sleek countertops with textured tile or wood-look floors.
At Ted’s, we have everything you need—Mohawk and Shaw Floors, Engineered Floors, Daltile, countertops, and a wide selection of cabinetry—so you can build your entire palette in one visit.
✂️ Make It Tangible
We recommend collecting physical samples to build a real-life mood board. Use a tray or board to lay out:
- Cabinet door style (like Wellborn’s Aqua Amelia or Hancock)
- Countertop sample (granite or quartz)
- Flooring swatch
- Backsplash tile
- Hardware and paint chips
