Popular on home design websites and across social media, virtual idea boards are an easy way to visualize how different design elements work together.
At Blue Mist Paint & Flooring in Spartanburg, South Carolina, idea boards come to life in the store thanks to the creativity of owner Ashley Peterson.
The live idea boards at Blue Mist Paint & Flooring provide customers with inspiration for their own home decor projects and feature products sold in the store.
As customers browse the store, they can view different boards that share how different paint colors, wallpaper patterns, tiles and flooring can work together for a cohesive look.
Peterson, who has several professional design certifications and a knack for design, says she hopes to continue adding more idea boards to the store and plans to frequently change them out to offer new ideas and keep up with trends.
Along with being helpful to customers, the design boards contribute to the overall aesthetic of the store. They complement the design and paint-related artwork displayed through the store like the framed design book covers and decor vignettes.
