Would you like to add depth and a little polish to your mood and design boards? In Morpholio Board, the best app for interior design, you can add shadows to your images to help your designs pop off the page!


How to Get Started with Shadows

Learn how to add drop, ground or paper shadows to your images.


Step 1. Select an Image

Tap an Image on your board.

Pro Tip
If you turn on
Multi-Select, you can select multiple images at once.




Step 2. Tap "Shadow"

On the bottom toolbar, tap “Shadow” to open the shadow options.




Step 3. Select Shadow Type

Choose between a drop, ground or paper shadow.



Drop Shadow

Drop shadows make your image look like it’s floating above the background. 



Ground Shadow

Ground shadows make your image look like it’s being lit from above. 

Pro Tip
Rotate your image and watch the shadow change! This is especially useful when creating interior scenes. 



Paper Shadow

Paper shadows give the illusion that your image is curling on the sides. This works best with square images or swatches.

Drop Shadow

Ground Shadow

Adjust the opacity and blur of the shadow, the amount perspective skew for the shadow and the distance that the shadow is offset.



Paper Shadow
