Mattoboard is a digital mood board platform that helps designers, creators, and teams visually organize ideas, materials, and inspiration in one place. It streamlines the design workflow by allowing users to collect images, textures, colors, and materials — then turn them into polished, shareable boards for presentations, collaboration, and concept development.

What Does Mattoboard Do?

Mattoboard is built for one purpose: make the creative process easier, faster, and more visual. Whether you're an interior designer, architect, visual designer, or creative lead, Mattoboard centralizes your inspiration and materials so you can move from concept → mood board → final board without friction.

Key things Mattoboard helps you do:

  • Build digital mood boards quickly
  • Collect, organize, and present design inspiration
  • Browse and use a growing material + texture library
  • Upload your own materials, photos, and product references
  • Share boards with clients or teammates
  • Work visually without messy folders or scattered screenshots

Why Designers Use Mattoboard

1. A Streamlined Mood Board Workflow

Dragging images into a chaotic canvas or manually building boards in Photoshop wastes time. Mattoboard gives you a purpose-built space that removes friction from early-stage concept development.

2. A Materials-First Approach

Unlike typical inspiration tools, Mattoboard also caters to material-driven design — with textures, finishes, swatches, and product references integrated directly into the workflow.

3. Made for Collaboration

Sharing, revising, and presenting boards is easy:

  • Clients can reference boards during early approvals
  • Teams can align on visual direction
  • Designers can quickly explore variations

It’s a cleaner communication flow from day one.

4. Professional Results Without Heavy Tools

No need for advanced design software for simple concept boards. Mattoboard helps produce polished, client-ready boards with minimal effort.
