HOW TO DESIGN A ROOM FROM START TO FINISH: Mood Boarding, Furniture Selection + Concept!

[@Thought_it_up]

Monday Mood Boards or even Monthly Mood Boards would be a great series. We could sit here forever listening to your thought process as you source pieces and pull them all together.

[@lonefox]

This is sooooo fun! I love this idea :)

omg yes please!

[@cherieannese1132]

YESSSSSS!!!

[@kimstrashapps3410]

to be honest i was thinking he could just sell the mood board (not customized, just template of whatever idea he has for a room) for people who wants to redo their spaces but don't have enough money to hire interior designer. or just to learn about design and sharpen your sense of aesthetic. bet people would buy it. but i wish he would be kind enough to make it free as monthly series like you suggested 😆

[@nadensoho]

would love to see more in depth videos like this, its just cool to see your thought process

[@lonefox]

Yes i will surely share more of them!

Yes to Google Certificates! I enrolled myself in a Data Analytics certificate program a couple months ago and it helped land me a new job with a 25% salary increase. I will sing its praises until the cows come home!

[@mahtam3709]

Hi drew I have recently moved out of the house and I’m living by myself. I have designed my whole apartment based on you videos and I couldn’t thank you enough. Your creativity is so inspiring 😍❤️ and I get so excited for new videos

[@lonefox]

Aww this makes me so happy!

You are always so generous with sharing your thoughts & ideas. One thing for sure is that you are born with the eye for design and no matter how much I try to mimic, it’s just not the same. You are the real deal and I also really LOVE how sincere you come across !!

Masterclass with Drew, I loved this video. I always wonder about the design process each designer has and this really helped me out a lot. Mood boards are the best, it is really crazy how things came together and balanced each other out in harmony. I hope you do more videos like this and maybe some tips on where and how to shop for furniture/art.

[@lonefox]

Yes I have plans to do more like this one!!

[@Sumblasz]

@@lonefox yay can’t wait \o/

[@annafiorellapace935]

@@lonefox Thanks, as not everyone can afford an interior designer. At the moment I'm helping my daughter to decorate her new apartment and this will help me a real lot as I have a vivid imagination but need to learn how to put things together in certain space's.

[@linshannon4480]

I realize this has been up for a months, but if you come back to see your comments, I wanted to thank you for this episode specifically. The way you walked us through your process was remarkably helpful to me. I've been in the process of getting rid of pieces of furniture and decor and wall art that don't work for us, but seeing the way you work was a whole lightbulb moment for me. Thanks so much for your enthusiasm and willingness to share your talent.

[@krisparker3068]

I just made my first mood board! Your video showed me how to do that in a very accessible way. I've been trying to design my living room, kitchen and guest room for months now and this clearly showed me how to get started. I've watched a ton of interior design videos, but nothing was as clear as this one. Thank you.

[@DavidOwenCreates]

I can't wait to see this type of content PLUS the actually ROOM makeover together 😍 that would literally be from START TO FINISH PRODUCT

[@deannaballard1382]

OMG, Drew! Today I came upon this video after being stuck on what I should do in the bedroom in my new apartment. This video helped me get all my ducks in a row. I made a mood board with my bed as the focal point because that's all I have, lol. I then began to add pieces to it having never designed anything in my life EVER. It came out amazingly!! I'm so thrilled. Thank you so much for your help. I'd love to share the board with you and how it all turns out in the end. If not, thank you so much anyway.

[@vim-arie]

The WHY behind selections or decision making is very interesting to me. That is the key to actually learning how to do something/anything yourself.

[@Kapradinka]

Your videos are like sunday morning. Sunny, light, happy. It's like I'm on energy and happiness charger while watching those. I love you. 🌼

[@amywalker3811]

Drew!!!! You literally designed my front living room! Haha! I have a wall of bookcases and wanted to figure out the style of couch and one chair to go in the space! I was overwhelmed with how to start my process! Thanks friend!! Yes please, make more videos like this! Just seeing your process of where you search and how you do it helps me learn. I’m so excited to make a plan before I dive in, which is where I get stumped and then lose my focus. Seriously. You changed my process for the better, thank you. As always, so so soooo glad I’m subscribed to your channel. I’m better because of you!! Hope you’re well!

[@rachaelbruesch6306]

I love the room you are filming in! You say that picture behind you is random, I actually thought it was a picture of Marie, so lovely!

[@ameXkage]

About to move into my first place alone and this came at the perfect time! Your videos got me through the pandemic and now you're coming with me on my way up!

[@JamConcerned]

You were born to do this. Your so fast in making a decision on what looks great and always come up with a fabulous room.

[@aneurix]

This could easily be made into a series! Love seeing your thought process, and would be interesting to see more of these. Love your content, been following u for years! x

[@catharinealexander89]

Ooooh this is so helpful!!! I've been working to redo my apartment and have gotten stuck many times and THIS process is exactly what I was missing. Really great way to visualize how all the individual pieces will work together. THANK YOU 🙏

[@polarice2851]

I was this many years old when Drew taught me this. I love love love this video. You learned me so much in this video. This will even help me when I want to shop just for the sake of shopping and not spend money. Thank you so much for sharing this video. Your videos give me life. I also love that you are drama free!❤❤

[@kaizen_5091]

Goes to show that if your not feeling 100% about the design but not sure why it can't hurt to swap out a piece or two and see, just like Drew did with the couch. Thanks for sharing your creative design process Lone Fox.

[@kundipot]

Wow. You make it look so effortless. I love this space, not too masculine in my opinion

[@ingrida45]

Loved this video! I really struggle to visualise the space and need to see lay outs in front of me to appreciate. So I found this video really helpful. Thank you!

[@rneustel388]

Drew, this was really fascinating, and I would love to see you do a video like this for every room in a house and tying the rooms together-using this room to start.

[@IrenesDIY]

Hi Drew, I was really excited to get into the entire process of designing a space) the "behind the scenes" is always so interesting to watch🥰 I thought actually I was the only one starting to design a space from a single item I liked and all the normal people have an overall concept, a palette and the like first. Somehow it's pleasing to know I'm not alone in this😁

[@nekaktys]

yeah, totally agree!

[@Toni_Snark]

Most designers start with an inspiration piece. It’s too difficult to pull ideas out of thin air.

[@purusoththarma1585]

I would loooooove to see you make this room into a 3D room. How do you do that all the time? I love this!

[@deborahfletcher1180]

Drew, you are my GOAT! I get so excited when I see a new show. You are a creative force and a humble soul. I love the energy you bring into my space as I'm watching your show. Thank you for the content and the consistency. We can always count on you for helping us achieve our decoration style.

[@glw5166]

This was so much fun! I feel like my thinking has been reprogrammed and not like in a 1950's B sci-fi movie but in a really good way :-).

[@leonie9101]

I LOVED this video! Now I want to redesign my entire apartment.

[@ElizabethHernandez-ib4ud]

I loved loved loved this video!! I have a hard time even figuring out where to start or how people design spaces and this was amazing! Thank you drew!!

[@CandyChantelle]

Thanks soooo much for this vid - I’m a year into my new house and haven’t changed much because my brain literally goes blank every time I try to visualise interior design. I’m excited to try a mood board and finally turn my house into an ongoing project!

[@EmmaVB82]

I’ve somehow been in my new flat for *3 years* this December 😱 I’m aghast. It’s still full of the boxes of junk I needed to declutter after living in my last place for 10 years (ran out of time before moving because I was also buying this place and it was hard!), and the old furniture pieces I brought with me as a stop-gap… but pandemic lockdowns happened and I got stalled! Somehow being in the place every day and having to put up with it as it was for a while seems to make it even harder to go back and actually get rid of the things I hate and make the place nicer and more my own, and definitely also mind going blank, or getting stuck in a loop about not being to figure out one thing til I’ve got this other thing sorted, but ending up never doing anything to just make a start! I’m hoping this video has given me enough tips and insight to at least start getting something out and into reality, even if it’s just the reality of a moodboard! Good luck with yours :)

[@tracygarrett3952]

LOL when you said you were changing up the sofa, I screamed YESSsss! Wonderfully masculine room!! Keep doing these!

[@debbiegodinez2119]

“I really want a couch with legs” proceeds to pick two couches without legs lol. Still fantastic picks! I just thought it was funny haha

[@alannabalderas2962]

I'm redesigning my bedroom. The mood board concept is new to me. This video was so helpful, esp the parts of you talking thru your thought process.

[@cmitchell7347]

Loved the video. Don't share your design aesthetic but, as you moved through the selection process, found I could almost anticipate where you were headed with the next choice. (The rounded sofa wasn't in keeping with your mention of something with legs so the one you ended up choosing is still iffy for me.) As someone who works with textiles, am all about the 'process,' so really like to see videos, such as this, about the 'vision' in the creative process.

[@Fieshs]

this type of process video is everything I could have ever asked for!!

[@lilichong7941]

This was amazing video yes PLEASE keep doing “behind the scenes”!!

[@alingligaya390]

Okay, now I feel more prepared to tackle my bedroom makeover which I will be doing myself, on my own. 💪😁 So far, I am almost done with the ceiling. I'm still confused about furniture and decorations, so a mood board will definitely help. Thanks, Drew. You make it look so easy.

[@purusoththarma1585]

[@ChrisstinaMorgan]

Thats exactly how i did with focal point feature wall in my living room: took photo of it, Photoshoped sideboard, Photoshoped artwork, Photoshoped and arranged sideboard decor. And when I got it all and located in my living room it was exactly right! 3 years later Im still happy with it and want to change nothing at all:)

[@sorellla]

On powerpoint you can take the background away pretty easily and decently accurately on pictures like there. It helps me a lot with making a moodboard cause sometimes the backround can distract from the colour pallette

[@priscacardanimorando2013]

I was about to comment the same thing!

[@hollyhockhousegardens7826]

Yes please...I love that you are sharing your process. Please continue. I love your design style. 💚

[@ness0388]

I just fell in love with a rust colored sofa and I've deciding how to style it. Moving into my first house on my own next month. You're right on time!

[@evasaker2476]

Loved this video! Please show more behind the scenes and design processes, it’s so so interesting. Would love to see how you choose the wall color as well.

[@nikki3879]

This is amazing. I've moved into a new apartment last week and have been binge watching so much of your channel in recent weeks while I try to plan out my new decor. This video was exactly what I needed. Thank you so much, Drew. 😊

[@sarahelissastanick-woods3368]

Love to see you do something like this with a dark dinky 300sq ft living room and a $1000 max budget 😂. Seriously though, always love your videos and seeing your process.

[@mskimlouise]

This was a fabulous walk-through. I'm inspired by your process and what you created with it. I've been in my new place for 6 months, and it is in extreme need of design. I will put your process to good use. Thank you so much the the "behind the scenes of the scenes."

[@QueenCNow]

I would love to se this from start to finish with a budget, to see what you diy and what you buy from the moodboard and how close the finish product is to the moodboard. I am also curious about the color, because it seems to me that you just had a couple color in your mind from when you choose the rug, and it seems like it came naturly for you, when it comes to me, i just gets so overwhem and it was nice to see how you found out what you wanted and played with it and change it when you felt like.

[@sorscha]

Brand new subscriber :) I'm moving to a new apartment at the end of the year and basically replacing most of our current furniture as it will be too big. This video unlocked so much of my frightened brain about how to delve into room design. Can't wait to see more of these!

[@valeriethibodeau6994]

OK this is super interesting, however I WISH I had your taste level, it is off the charts! It's so fun how you start from something so small and build around it!

[@meganm5923]

Thank you!!! I do not have the eye for design and feel so intimidated by all of it. I never know where to start or how to make things 'flow'. This video gives me hope and some ideas on how to finally get started!

[@Sooz1234]

I was thinking bad thoughts about that couch from the start- so glad you switched it out, but still worrying about the rust color... Great ideas for how to put together a space!

[@KimberlyLovesRIchard]

STUNNING!!! I love seeing you design, Drew. Even when the items aren't pieces that would work in my cottage I love seeing you create. You've been my soothing brain chocolate for a couple of years now darlin'! Love you!!!

[@PinkyLadybird]

Absolutely love this process 👏👏👏 Struggling with doing this for my apartment (small, inner city high-rise apartment with low ceilings)

[@hollyhasegawa6095]

Great Drew, I agree with you, mood boards are a plus when you are designing a space. Thanks for sharing this video and giving us great ideas and showing us this program. I hope that yo have a good week, sending love and hugs, bye for now. 😊💜

[@kirstenmac8820]

Gorgeous Drew! Would be so cool to see it in a room rendering 😍

[@lashanew.1969]

I really loved your design at the end. Everything is cohesive and flows. A lot of the tips you gave, I do them naturally when designing a room. Going to a Art school taking those foundation classes really has helped me. Great video!! Going straight to your store, I saw a few decor pieces I need!!

[@jeneanharris4622]

would love to see this for an actual space, where you create the design/plan the space, shop, thrift, diy the pieces and implement the design... plot twist, same room with three budgets... would make for amazing content...

[@creilly3728]

Would love to see more videos like this. But would like to see the way you would actually set up the furnishings in a room to get the final feel of the objects working together. I’m sure you already have an application for that, so that would be helpful.

[@yesxiloveyouthemost]

It's so fun to watch! Would you do a whole series where you share how you do the moodboard, another video where "we" order together, the unpacking and the process of implementing? Would be very interesting to see all the steps :)

[@nezesen8815]

I like how you put it all together, that was really nice.

[@sofiar9728]

[@Chelsea-zt4rk]

Very helpful, made me think of mood boarding a bit differently! I'd love to know how you render an image like I've seen in some of your videos. Our house has some challenging floor layouts so I'm constantly trying to visualize how a piece of furniture will look in our space...or how to visualize a new wall color. It might be too advanced though for a youtube tutorial.

[@maddieblei]

Hey Drew! Your videos make me SO happy, and they’re insanely creative and inspiring. You’ve kept me sane with DIY projects for years, and your eye for design has totally added depth to my home.

Wonderful video Drew, thank you so much for sharing your process.

[@mariastathopoulos744]

The designing process is both interesting and engaging. Personally l always spend more on couch / sofa compared to a rug. My big ticket items in the lounge/living room in order are: couch/sofa, rug, sideboard, lighting, coffee table, accent chair, side table, decor. I find Google images have a wider selection for key words than Pinterest.

[@dawnsdream6206]

Thank you Drew for this extremely helpful video! I'll be moving into a new home soon and I've been overwhelmed at all of the possibilities. Now I feel confident that I've got a plan. You've made my day!

[@eliser9776]

AWESOME VIDEO. How about a series using different palettes? Another idea would be to have your subscribers send you a picture of a piece of furniture, an art work or a favorite fabric or something like that and then do a design around that. I have just the fabric for you! I inherited the fabric from my Grandmother. I discovered that it was hand stamped and Frank Lloyd Wright with some of her fabrics. HOPE YOU SEE MY COMMENT!

Jinks, black chair! You owe me a coke! OMG! I was not liking the couch Drew until you added the console and was awed how you made that couch work... and now you're not feeling it. - ha ha ha - such is design life. The new couch does feel more intentional than the first - the first felt like you inherited it from your great aunt and was trying to make it work. This was AWESOME, thank you for inviting us into your process. Happy weekend all!
