A great example is using linens to coordinate your dollhouse design, and make things pop. Bedrooms are a fabulous place to start. Just think of all the fabrics that you use in your own bedroom - Sheets, curtains, blankets, etc. In addition to the bedroom just think of the dinning room rug, curtains, and even napkins After the dining room you go to the bathroom and do some his and her towels, or even a floor mat. Now I hope that you can see the unending possibilities that await your linens, cloths, and fabric designs.

Styling by Era

At that moment that you sat back and decided to create your first or next dollhouse you should have had an idea of what it would look like. Each piece of furniture will belong to a certain room, but you must also realize that each room should connect with each other. What you want to do is create a theme. Victorian, Modern, and Traditional, though they are not the only choices, are the major players with dollhouse manufacturers - lets look at each one. If you are more of a romantic you will choose the Victorian theme, because it resembles a tasteful past, fluid curves, and astounding furniture pieces. Modern furniture is more technological, rigid, and fun - giving you options like Television sets, pool tables, and other modern pieces. Traditional furniture doesn't have a lot of pep, but the selection is great - this will fit any dollhouse and can be used at times in matching Modern or Victorian styles.

Look Down: The Floor in your Kit

There is one design item that is looked over more than anything else is flooring. Flooring is often overlooked because it is the base, but that only means that it is really the foundation for your furniture and design choices. It will also add that subtle touch that really upgrades your dollhouse. 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. The most popular choice is carpet, probably because we enjoy carpet so much in our houses. Linoleum and tile are basically the same for your kit in application, they are simply different designs. 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.
