Using Size to your Benefit for Design
Always, always remember that there are different sizing elements in miniatures. Here are the sizing elements, there are three: Miniature scales, size of room dimensions, and comparative size. First is the scale of furniture, make sure that your furniture is the right scale for your dollhouse. Meaning, look up the miniature size of your dollhouse kit, if it is one inch scale then you need to buy one inch furniture Size element is the second point, and this is as simple as making sure that your furniture will actually fit in the room. The actual furniture dimensions should be located at the store or website that you bought it at, simply measure and compare. Finally, relative or comparative size is the size of the furniture in relation to other pieces in the set. Smaller pieces will get less attention than other pieces, and the larger pieces should be the ones that you want everyone to look at.
Accessories: The Little Touches
Little details will have a really big effect in this hobby, and there are thousands of doll house accessories that you can have. These small details can be anything from small toothbrushes in the bathroom, to magazines for the bedroom bookcase. Not only will these little trinkets add a flare to your doll's house, but it will make your friend's dolls jealous. But not only will it add that creative touch, it makes it look more realistic. So express yourself and personality in the type of china, miniature animals, portraits and more
Rearranging Furniture? Try Some New Strategies
Your Furniture can be arranged in many different ways, and many of them will give a different feel to the room. A placement strategy is simply a way of trying things differently to give you the arrangement you want. As there are so many different ways to layout furniture let us talk about arranging by symmetrical shapes. In first simple strategy, the triangle, imagine a large triangle in the middle of the room and then take the three primary pieces of furniture and place them at the corners of that triangle. 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. If you have an extra small piece of furniture you can have a five piece square by placing it in the middle. This is only the tip of the iceberg as you can allow your designs to envelop any arrangement of shapes.
Designing with Linens
Once you understand that anything and everything can change, be created, or designed in your dollhouse it opens up tons of potential. It is absolutely wonderful to be able to craft and design even the minute details of a doll's house. One example is fabrics within a dollhouse. The bedroom is an excellent demonstration of detail and the breadth of items that you can create. You can coordinate the sheets, mattresses, curtains, pillows, and even a throw blanket. Moving on to the dinning room there is the dinning table cloth and if you are really fancy you can have coordinating napkins. From there we move to the bathroom where you can create your own shower curtains, toilet seat covers, and more. As I stated before, it is endless, so enjoy the possibilities
