Use Figma to plan renovations by drawing scaled floor plans, adding furniture assets, and building moodboards from reference images.
Moodboard is an essential tool for product creators. " How should this product look? What key visual style should it have? These are the first questions we ask in the design process. A moodboard can help us find answers to these questions. But moodboarding is a very time-intensive exercise, as you need to collect, structure, and put together a lot of different visual snapshots that help guide your design process.
Google is launching a new AI concepting tool that lets you create moodboards to explore design ideas. The Mixboard Google Labs experiment gives users an open canvas to create projects from pre-populated board templates or text prompts using Google's Gemini 2.5 Flash model. The experimental tool is available through public beta in the US. The format is visually similar to platforms like FigJam or Adobe's Firefly Boards, so this isn't a unique concept, but it's interesting to see Google developing more design-based apps.
