There’s an e-book for that! The secret is out, professional interior designers everywhere are switching over to Canva to mood board their designs for clients and now you can too! Don’t waste your time and money browsing around furniture and home decor stores, not really knowing what you want. Taking the time to learn how to mood board on Canva will save you money and aggravation. PLUS, you’ll end up with a home that looks like you spend thousands on a professional designer!
