Elegant Petite Barbie Doll Accessories: Layout Suggestions

Flooring, Changing the Base of your House

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. Just as with new flooring in any house, new flooring in a dollhouse will increase the value and appeal. Carpet, linoleum, tile, stone, and hard wood are the most popular choices in flooring options. Carpet is a really fun choice, because it makes the kit seem like a miniature version of your house. A quick fix to bathroom or kitchen rooms is linoleum and tile. The hardest type of flooring to add is a stone or hard wood option, but in the end these are the best from a designing standpoint.

Lighting your way to a great look

If you have completed a kit, furnished it, and are looking for another adventure then try lighting. When you add lights to it you are dedicating a bit of time and energy, you are also stating that it will not be used for toddlers, but receives more of a collectible status. It is really a lot of fun to light your dollhouse and at the same time a challenge to learn new things. In all reality, would we enjoy it if it wasnt a challenge? When you break it down, lighting is simply connecting electricity through a wire and a plug. 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. The best way to start is small, so get a small kit and begin. Remember whether you think you can or whether you think you can't you are right.

Using an Artists Color Wheel for your Benefit

Interior design, for your own personal home, or for your dollhouse kit can be a matter of color choices. Everyone that has gone to high school art or taken any basic art school knows a little bit about the color wheel. This wheel was designed to fit all colors into a solid circle to express similarities and differences. Opposite colors on the wheel are those with absolute contrast and stability. This by no means is a full explanation of the science of color, but a mere push to get you thinking in the right direction for your dollhouse coordination.

Rearranging Furniture? Try Some New Strategies

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 order to use the triangle design you will need three major pieces of furniture for the room, imagine that they form a triangle and place them accordingly. 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. Though these are the most used you can have any types, shapes, and patterns that form a symmetrical or aesthetically pleasing layout.
