You know when you are really serious about this hobby when you start looking at lighting. This is the point when you have moved from setting up a miniature house for your kids to expanding this hobby into something more. It is really a lot of fun to light your dollhouse and at the same time a challenge to learn new things. At the same time, isn't the challenge why we are in this hobby? First of all the basics are simply hooking up lighting from a plug to a light. In fact with the instructions at hand you will be surprised at how easy it is. Sure you are going to make mistakes, but you will learn and it will get easier for you. When you start with your first kit, get a small one just so you don't overwhelm yourself, something small and easy. Remember if in your mind it is too hard then you are correct.

Adding a Mood

Designers might know about lighting, and colors, but only the great ones design for mood. A mood is the purpose of the room, the reason that it exists. An example is that you would have a kitchen to eat, have conversation, relax, cook etc. One more example would be the bedroom, the most personal quarters, and is designed for only one person. Those dollhouses that are awe inspiring tap into the settings and mood of each room to design it. To tap into your mood settings, think about the purpose of the room, why it is their, and what designs, colors, furniture, would better suit that mood. The more you can portray the appropriate move, the more you will convince your friends and family your great skills as a miniaturist.

Dollhouse Exterior Design

The outside of the dollhouse has as much do to with the appeal, if not more, than the inside design. The Paint of the dollhouse along with the look of the shingles is the first thing that you notice with your exterior. To have a quality paint job on your house apply at least three coats of recommended paint. The shingles should be died and applied carefully using a ruler to assure that the lines are straight. There are many other ways to enjoy an attractive exterior; most of them are through accessories like dog houses, or gazebos. You can even have some small flower pots to place in the window seals. And let us not forget the biggest advantage to designing the outside: the lights. Lights around the porch are the most common, if you have a gazebo place a light in the center so that the light will shine down through.

Dollhouse Interior Plan Preparation

If you fail to plan you plan to fail. A plan ensures that you are getting exactly what you want, and helps you avoid wasting time. A basic floor plan and a budget should be the minimum of your list; these at least will get you started. A floor plan will consist of measurements, color, furniture pieces, and a good rough outline of the room. In order to help you look for some room examples to start on the internet and in local stores. Take a note book and jot down things that you would like to add, modify, or change with your plan. If you see something in your notes worthy of changing your plan, then go ahead and do it. Now budget those items that you are interested in and try hard not to go over it. Remember, this is a hobby and constraining yourself to a budget allows control and happiness over your financial situation. If you find a piece of furniture that is over your budget apply your patience and save until you can purchase it.
