A SPACE TO LEARN, CONNECT & CREATE
You don’t have to learn interior design on your own. The Mood Board gives Academy students a place to talk, share ideas, discuss their work and stay connected between live studio sessions.

The community sits within the Academy’s learning hub, bringing students at different stages together. You can talk about your projects, ask questions, share ideas and see how others approach their design work.

WHAT IS THE MOOD BOARD?
The Mood Board is the community space within SOFIYA DESIGNS ACADEMY. It gives students and learners somewhere to share their work, ask questions and have conversations about interior design.

DESIGNED FOR THOSE WHO LOVE INTERIORS
The Mood Board is a space for:
- Academy students building their design skills
- People considering a career in interior design
- Developing designers who want to share ideas
- Anyone with a genuine interest in interiors
A COMMUNITY FOR PEOPLE WHO LOVE INTERIORS
The Mood Board brings Academy students together to share ideas, discuss their work and learn from each other outside live sessions.
WHAT MAKES THE MOOD BOARD DIFFERENT?
The Mood Board is part of the Academy’s practical way of learning. It is more than a place to look at interior images. You can talk about the work you are doing, hear different opinions and learn from other people in the Academy.

01. SHARE YOUR IDEAS
Talk about layouts, materials, concepts and different ways of approaching a design with other members of the community.

02. LEARN THROUGH DISCUSSION
Ask questions, share experiences and hear how other people deal with the design problems that come up during a project.

03. STAY CONNECTED
Keep in touch with other students, share your progress and continue conversations between your live sessions and critiques.
LEARN, SHARE & DEVELOP
Sometimes talking through an idea can help you see it differently. Hearing another person’s opinion can also make you question a decision or try another approach.
That is what The Mood Board is there for. You can share your progress, talk through ideas and learn from other people while continuing with your Academy work.
