2023 Product Features

As 2023 draws to a close, what better way to celebrate the year that was than by sharing a round-up of all the wonderful product features we brought to you in 2023. It was a big year for us at Style Sourcebook and we were thrilled to be able to release many new and exciting features. From our much awaited integration with Pinterest to our circle cropping function, mobile mood board tool and our new and improved wishlists and saved images folders, we love being able to constantly evolve to better meet and exceed the needs of our Style Sourcebook design community. Join us as we recap the array of product updates we released in 2023.

Mobile Mood Board Tool

You can now create mood boards on the run with the launch of our new mobile-compatible mood board tool. This update allows you to interact with the original mood board tool in the palm of your hand. This is great for if you’re in a client meeting, home consultation, or visiting a retail store and don’t have access to your desktop. Through our innovative mobile mood board tool. all of your important design decisions can now be made on the go, saving you time when designing your home or making a product purchase decision. 

"What a crazy year it's been! Looking back on the year that was and what we've been able to achieve is truly amazing. I'm very proud of the work our team has done to be able to bring out these amazing features that our designers have been asking for. My personal favourite to work on was our Mobile Mood Board Tool. So much testing and development went into bringing the Style Sourcebook experience to your pocket, including reimagining almost every interaction and how we could scale it down without hurting the experience we've all come to love". 

- Daniel Larson, Head of Engineering

Pinterest Integration

The integration that everyone was waiting for. Our integration with Pinterest allows you to connect your Pinterest account to your Style Sourcebook account and use your Pinterest pin library for use in your mood board projects. We know that inspirational images are a big part of your mood boards and are a way that many convey their overall design aesthetic for a project. Rather than spending time saving an image on your desktop and then re-uploading it into your image library in the mood board tool, you can now effortlessly include your Pinterest images in mood boards with a click of a button.

Wishlists 

We’re pleased to say that you can now organise your favourite Style Sourcebook products via our new wishlist folders. You can now create custom wishlists for different projects and save all of your favourite products inside each wishlist folder. Wishlists are great for when you see a product you love and want to save it to use in your mood board at a later date. They are also great for categorising your favourite products into different wishlist folders that you may use time and time again. There are no limits to the amount of wishlists you can create. Simply click on the ‘save product’ button when browsing our product library and either add it to one of your existing wishlists or create a new wishlist. Wishlists can be accessed via the mood board tool under ‘saved products’ or under ‘my wishlists’ in your account.

Circle Cropping

Another highly requested feature in our mood board tool is the circle cropping function that we recently released. Our entire cropping system had a major upgrade and one of the key highlights is that you now have the ability to crop products into a circle shape. This functionality is popular for cropping products such as paint swatches, rugs and hard finishes and adds visual interest and a striking element to your mood boards.

“It’s been so rewarding seeing the response from our design community in relation to the new product features we’ve released this year. I love that everything we do is centered around our design community, so to be able to have listened to their feedback and given them features they’ve asked for is something I find very gratifying”.

- Emilee McHugh, Marketing Manager

Mood Board Product List

When creating your mood board in the mood board tool, you can now toggle between viewing your mood board and viewing your product list via the button at the bottom of the mood board tool. Our new ‘view product list’ functionality enables you to see the list of products used within your mood board and gives you a visual of the total pricing of the products used within your mood board. This is a great way to keep track of your budget and the individual product details of products on your mood board. 

Mood Board Summary Page

You can now see a summary of the products included in your mood board in our new ‘mood board summary page’. This can be viewed after you have saved your mood board by clicking on the ‘see your board’ button. This page is a great way to visualise both your mood board and individual products used in your mood board alongside each other. 

Mood Board Tool Brand and Price Filters

We’ve made searching for both specific retailers/brands and price points within our mood board tool possible with our advanced filtering system. You can now filter by specific retailers/brands via the drop-down menu, saving you time when selecting products from a particular retailer/brand you are looking for. You can also use the price filtering system to narrow down your product search if needing to filter by a certain price range.

Saved Images Folders

We’ve improved the way you can categorise and organise your saved images. You can now create different folders that house your saved images, making it easier for you to search for specific images you are wanting to upload into a mood board. To use this function, simply upload an image via the ‘upload image’ tab and either create a new folder or upload your image into one of your existing saved image folders. When searching for your saved images, you can now use the search bar in your ‘saved images’ folder and search for the name of the image you originally saved.

Partner Mood Board Tool

The Style Sourcebook partner mood board tool is the Style Sourcebook Mood Board Tool you know and love, integrated on some of your favourite brand or retailer partners websites. This tool provides our brand partners with an integrated website experience and allows customers visiting their website to visualise their moods in the mood board tool.
