A board per room,
on one canvas.

Storyflow is built for this, room by room: describe the project and the AI lays out a section for every room, then you drop in materials, finishes, furniture, lighting and palette. Spec sheets and product links attach to each piece, and the schedule and budget sit on the same board. Clients open the finished board through a view-only link without an account.

Seven layers cover most projects. Color palette, including how it shifts between rooms. Materials and finishes: timber, stone, metal, tile, and paint codes. Furniture and fixtures, with attention to scale and silhouette rather than just style. Lighting, split into ambient, task, and accent, with fitting style and color temperature. Textiles and soft furnishings, with weight and texture noted. Flooring and surfaces. And layout and atmosphere: how the room is used, key sightlines, and time of day. A board that includes specification detail beside each reference is the difference between a mood and something you can order from.

A moodboard communicates feeling. It is loose, atmospheric, and mostly there to agree a direction with a client before anything is specified. A concept board goes a step further and starts committing: actual materials, actual furniture, actual palette, usually with rough costs attached. Most designers present the moodboard first to establish direction, then develop it into a concept board once the client has agreed the feeling. On an infinite canvas you do not have to choose. Keep the loose atmosphere images on one side and let each room's cluster tighten into a specification as decisions get made, so the client can always see where the concept came from.

Not during early access. Storyflow is paid-only right now, with plans starting at $9.99 a month, and a Free plan for solo use launches before the end of 2026. Anyone a paid member invites to a board joins free today, so clients and contractors do not need to pay to view or collaborate. If you need a free option immediately, Pinterest and Canva both have genuinely useful free tiers, though neither gives you an infinite canvas, AI board generation, or room clusters with specs and links attached to each item.

Yes, and it works better than a deck for this kind of work. Share a view-only link and walk the client through the canvas on a call, zooming from the whole property down to a single finish, which is much closer to how people actually make these decisions than clicking through fixed slides. The client sees the current version rather than an export from two weeks ago. If they want something printed for a site visit, export the board as an image or PDF.

Yes. Because the canvas is infinite, the schedule, the budget notes, and the programme can sit beside the room boards they relate to. Attach supplier quotes as PDFs and product links to each specified item, so the reference, the price, and the place to order it never drift apart. When a client asks what changing the flooring costs, the answer is already next to the image rather than in a separate spreadsheet.

Photograph the actual sample rather than using the supplier's render, then pull the swatches out of your photo with the free color palette maker. Supplier images are lit and edited to sell the product, so a palette built from them tends to be a shade or two off what arrives on site. Put the extracted swatches directly beside the material photo on the canvas with the paint or finish code written next to it, and the specification stays honest to what you actually saw.

You can, and boards are unlimited. Most designers do better keeping every room as a cluster on one canvas instead. Interiors are relational: the hallway palette has to lead into the living room, and the same oak has to read correctly in two different lights. Grouping rooms on a single infinite canvas gives each space a clear section while keeping those relationships visible. If a project is very large, a board per floor with room clusters inside it tends to be the right level.

Yes. Storyflow includes a free background remover, which is the tool interior designers reach for most. Catalogue shots come with styled rooms behind them, and dropping five of those onto a board makes it unreadable. Cutting each piece out so it sits cleanly against your own palette is what makes a moodboard look designed rather than assembled. There is also a free image cropper and an upscaler for low-resolution supplier images.

Yes. Send a view-only link and anyone can open the full canvas in a browser with no account and no app install, which matters for trades who will look at it a few times and never create a login. Because the link stays live, they always see the current specification rather than a PDF from an earlier revision. For a site meeting where the connection is unreliable, export the relevant section as an image or PDF to carry on a phone.
