Elegant Tiny Doll Accessories: Modeling Strategies

Matching Colors: A Science that is Well Developed to Help

Ever since we picked up our first box of crayons we have desired to match, mix, and create It is no different when you have fabric, furniture, and room color choices. Everyone that has gone to high school art or taken any basic art school knows a little bit about the color wheel. The basis of the wheel is that some colors are similar to one another, and others have contrast. Opposing colors are the most different and offer attractiveness to the eye called contrast, colors touching each other are the most similar and can be accent colors that heighten, but dont distract from the feel. 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.

Styling by Era

Creating style can be more intense than what you have previously thought, what era will your dollhouse resemble?Each piece of furniture will belong to a certain room, but you must also realize that each room should connect with each other. This is creating a styling theme. In dollhouse furniture, kits and accessories there are three major themes that you could choose from. Victorian is the first major theme, it is recognized by the embellishments in furniture through long curved lines, elaborate fabric, and old fashioned pieces. Modern furniture is more technological, rigid, and fun - giving you options like Television sets, pool tables, and other modern pieces. The last is Traditional furniture - it is more about functionality than design, giving you the pieces of furniture that you might find in a local store which is great to make a replica, or to just make your dolls feel at home.

Size: Very Important in Design

When setting up your dollhouse and buying furniture you will need to remember the three sizing constraints. The first sizing element of miniatures is the scale, the second is the room dimensions, and third is sizing miniatures next to one another. Miniature scaling refers to the fact that dolls and their furniture come in different sizing patterns. Meaning, you should check your dollhouse scale, if it is quarter inch you need quarter inch furniture. The second is room size: or simply not cramming furniture into the room that will not fit. Take out a ruler and measure the square inches of the room and compare it to your incoming furniture dimensions. The last point is relative size; this means that within a room you can coordinate the pieces. This means that each set has its own symmetry of size, larger, medium, and smaller pieces should coordinate together in a pattern that makes sense.
