That’s because I’ve designed and redesigned this mood board probably 300 times. First off, if you’ve been following my studio apartment saga at all, you may have noticed that this mood board looks completely different from the two versions I’ve shown you before. Now I have a couple of things to say here. So, when it came to designing my studio apartment, I revved up my Google Slides skills and got going. If you don’t know how to use it, it works the same way as PowerPoint or Keynote, and IT’S VERY EASY TO LEARN. This is a FREE program most people already have on their computers and know how to use. The EHD team uses 3 professional programs that cost money AND GOOGLE SLIDES. I’ll say that one more time in terms that are more relevant for this post. Julie (who went to real interior design school) uses SketchUp and AutoCAD, but the vast majority of us use Photoshop and Google Slides. So I’ll start by answering that million dollar question: what program do interior designers actually use? Here at EHD, we use a bunch of different programs. Flash forward 6 years later, I landed a job working for an interior design blog –– nay –– THE INTERIOR DESIGN BLOG –– and I have a confession to make: I walked into the EHD office STILL not knowing what computer programs interior designers actually use. My thought process was: if I could teach myself photoshop, so how hard could it be to teach myself this? Well, after watching hours of free tutorials online and playing around with it, I realized it was VERY HARD, so I used an old fashioned sketchbook to draw out my room design. ![]() So I bought two interior design books: Domino’s Book of Decorating and Elements of Style (obviously because Emily’s book wasn’t out yet, okay?) and googled “what computer program do professional interior designers use?” The Google led me straight to a program called AutoCAD so I immediately downloaded the free trial. When I was 16 I decided I wanted to start learning about interior design for the same reason everyone wants start to learning about interior design: my room was ugly and I wanted to redecorate.
