Placing your Furniture in a Way That Works

Because a doll's furniture is very light you can easily found the perfect arrangement in a matter of seconds. A placement strategy is simply a way of trying things differently to give you the arrangement you want. The two most common layout designs is the triangle and the square. In the triangle layout you will have three major pieces of furniture and place them at the ends of an imaginary triangle, each of the pieces are turned in and the look is very symmetrical. The second simple design layout is the square, very similar to the triangle except there are four pieces, and they again are placed on the corners of the square. You can also use the square approach with five pieces; just place the extra piece in the middle. The square and triangle layouts are the most common, but do try many other shapes like an ellipsis, octagon, or even a bell curve.

Creating Colors that Work in your Environment

Interior design, for your own personal home, or for your dollhouse kit can be a matter of color choices. Now you dont have to be a professional artist to understand color, the basic level of matching colors begins with the color wheel. When you are looking at a color wheel, it looks almost like someone took a rainbow and connected the arch into a circle. The colors right next to each other are called analogous colors, and offer slight similarities for color patterns, and those opposite offer the most contrast and pop. As a first step into the designing realm for yourself, I recommend that you defiantly read up on the color coordination material that is on the internet or any good book, as it will really help your style.

Accessorizing with Fabrics

Once you understand that anything and everything can change, be created, or designed in your dollhouse it opens up tons of potential. For instance the amount of detail that is available to you is mesmerizing. One example is fabrics within a dollhouse. Bedrooms are a fabulous place to start. You can coordinate the sheets, mattresses, curtains, pillows, and even a throw blanket. Next is the dinning room where you can have your own napkins, dinning room table covers, seat covers, etc. From there we move to the bathroom where you can create your own shower curtains, toilet seat covers, and more. Now I hope that you can see the unending possibilities that await your linens, cloths, and fabric designs.

Dollhouse Flooring Options

It is the small things that once changed make the biggest difference, and in this case flooring is a great small change for a big difference. Flooring can be a great design medium because it is the foundation for all of your furniture. Not only that, it adds a very distinct touch that will take your dollhouse and move it to the next level. You have many choices in this decision and every type of flooring will not work for each room - The standard 5 are Carpet, Linoleum, Tile, Stone, and Hard Wood. Carpet for dollhouses is very compact and comes in sheets similar to dollhouse wallpaper. The next set of flooring options that are popular are tile, and linoleum - a great touch for a smooth surface and an interesting color. Stone and hard wood choices are really available for those die hard hobbyist that want a very realistic house, but hey when you want quality there is no better option.
