Looking back, I’ve always loved surrounding myself with things that spark inspiration.

But over time,
I realized that sometimes we become so focused on building a life that looks good,
that we slowly disconnect from what actually feels good.

Creating this inspiration board became more than just a creative project for me.

It became a quiet reminder
of the kind of life I want to return to.

So, even though I’ve always loved surrounding myself with inspiration from things I love, want, and that make me feel good.But honestly, it was only a few years ago, when I started studying NLP and psychotherapy, that I truly realized, I truly understood the meaning of visual inspiration and its impact on shaping our reality.

And that’s exactly why I created this post, so that every woman reading it can create and prepare her own vision board.

Wait, just a moment before we move on to how you can create your own inspiration board just like I made for myself. 😍

I want to share something from the heart: from the board I had last year, I removed quite a few pictures of things I managed to achieve this year. And there are things that only after I achieved them did I suddenly realize how similar they were to the inspirations on my vision board. 🤍

Visual inspiration that stands before our eyes every day has a tremendous impact on our subconscious!

Alright, let’s get down to business – everything you need to create your dream vision board! 🤩

• Canvas Board: (For my inspiration board – since I wanted a large board for my new office design, I bought 2 canvas boards measuring 60×80 cm each.)
• Fabric: To wrap the canvas. Note: It’s important to use thick fabric made of a double layer that can hold push pins securely without falling. Another Note: Make sure to have enough fabric to easily wrap around the canvas.
• Printed Images, Magazines, Postcards…
• Wall Stapler + Pins.
• Scissors
• Pretty Push Pins

• Paper Glue (White tape glue made of paper)
• Medium-sized Nails

Step One: I like to start by searching for inspirational images. Create a folder on your phone for your inspiration board and begin filling it with pictures. This can be from Pinterest, Canva, free image download sites, etc. (Later, you can sort your favorites, place everything in A4 pages in Canva or any other editing software, and print it out!) Additionally, gather physical images in various sizes, such as beautiful postcards, magazine cutouts, and anything else that comes to mind. (You can also include small fabric pieces or more tangible items that you can hang up.)

Step Two: Shop and collect the materials for your board. You don’t have to buy everything; you can always borrow a stapler from a neighbor or take one from your sister. 🙂 As for what you do need, just go on a shopping spree! Canvas, push pins, and paper glue can usually be found at any craft store. And for the fabric, be sure to buy it from an upholstery shop or a fabric store that sells upholstery fabric.

Once you have all the supplies, including the printed images, it’s time to simply assemble the board!

To me,
I think inspiration becomes much more meaningful
when it’s connected not only to what we want our life to look like
but to how we want it to feel.

Not just beautiful spaces,
but slower mornings.

Not just productivity,
but presence.

Not just success,
but a life we can actually experience while building it.

And once everything feels aligned with the vision you want to create,
it’s time to bring it all together.

1. Wrap your canvas board with the fabric. Make sure to pull it tight and smooth, then secure the fabric at the back with your stapler.
2. Hang the board on the wall where you want it to shine. ✨
3. Cut out all your images.
4. And now comes the fun part 🤩 – designing your inspo board! Of course, I’ve got to throw in a few little design tips 👇🏻

To create an interesting and visually appealing board, I recommend incorporating intriguing asymmetry and layering.

I like to call it “calculated chaos” 😃

Start with the largest images/postcards/pages you have, and pin those down first as the background.

In the second stage, play around with the different images you’ve collected in various sizes. Position them among the larger images you’ve already pinned, and some can overlap a bit with the ones underneath.

In the final design stage, add inspirational quotes or tiny images to create connections between the photos and the layers below.

And to wrap it up: after you’ve pinned everything in place, I suggest reinforcing certain spots on the board with small pieces of paper glue. Cut a small piece of tape, roll it into a ring with the sticky side facing out, and use this to secure the photo, you want it to stick.

And most importantly, I want you to remember this:

Your inspiration board doesn’t need to impress anyone.

It can simply become a quiet reminder
of the kind of life you want to return to.

A slower pace.
More nature.
More connection.
More intention in the everyday.

Good luck 😍 and have fun!

In the end,
the goal isn’t to create a perfect board.

It’s to create a life
that feels aligned with who you truly are.

The images, words, and feelings we surround ourselves with
have a quiet way of shaping us over time.

They influence what we focus on,
what we believe is possible,
and the kind of life we slowly begin creating.

And that’s what makes inspiration so powerful ✨
