Wishlists
Wishlist or mood board: what are you trying to keep?
Use a mood board when you want to explore a look, palette or atmosphere. Use a wishlist when you want to return to particular things and compare their details. A project can use both, as long as you keep inspiration separate from a product you have actually identified.
Decide what you liked about the image
A photograph of a room may appeal to you because of its colours, the amount of open space or one particular lamp. Those are different reasons to save it. Before adding products, write one sentence about the part you want to carry into your own project.
“Low storage that leaves the wall clear” describes a requirement. “Buy every item in this room” assumes that the whole arrangement fits your space and needs. You can keep the image as inspiration while taking only one useful idea from it.
Turn a visual preference into something you can check
Suppose a desk photograph feels calm because there is little on the work surface. Your practical requirement might be “A lamp that leaves enough room for the notebook”, not the exact lamp in the photograph. That gives you a criterion to test against several products.
Use the note below to connect inspiration with the next decision. A preference such as “warm wood” can remain flexible; a space measurement needs a value and units.
From inspiration to an item
Select and copy this note, then fill in what is useful.

Label references and product candidates clearly
A list can hold a room-tour article beside a cabinet you are considering. Call the first entry “Reference — low storage layout” and give the cabinet its actual product name. Leave the reference unpriced so it does not look like an item you plan to buy.
In Fancies, ordinary links and products can share a list. For a collection made entirely of references, Links only hides prices and active purchase controls. It does not change the saved details or create a separate type of item.
Verify the product behind an inspiration image
When you do want the exact object, find its product page and check the version, dimensions and what is included. An image may show an older model, a custom finish or several objects styled together. Keep an uncertain identification explicit.
A screenshot is not evidence of current stock or price. Save the source link when you can, and record what attracted you to it even if the precise item cannot be found.
Choose the tool for the work you want to do
Fancies provides lists of items with optional images, links, prices and notes. It does not provide a freeform image canvas, drawing tools or automatic colour extraction. A dedicated mood-board tool may fit better if arranging images is the central task.
Keep the wishlist for the decisions that need exact links and practical notes. If you share it for an opinion, explain whether an entry is inspiration or a real candidate so viewers know what you are asking them to consider.
