Great Dollhouse Pieces: Organizational Hints

Designing with Linens

If you like detail, craft, and design then dollhouse design is a great opportunity to grow your talents. For instance the amount of detail that is available to you is mesmerizing. One example is fabrics within a dollhouse. The bedroom is an excellent demonstration of detail and the breadth of items that you can create. Everything from curtains and pillows, to mattresses and blankets can be created and made to fit. Next is the dinning room where you can have your own napkins, dinning room table covers, seat covers, etc. 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.

Designing by Mood

The mood of the room should be a designers motivation and no other, it is the mood that dictates color and furniture, and not the other way around. A mood is the purpose of the room, the reason that it exists. One example of a mood is the dining room should be a place of meeting, where people can relax and talk to one another. A bedroom would have a personal setting to illustrate the mood of that individual and help them feel comfortable. 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 Flooring Options

There is one design item that is looked over more than anything else is flooring. Undoubtedly Flooring is the foundation of your dollhouse, and as such is the foundation for all of your design choices. 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. The next set of flooring options that are popular are tile, and linoleum - a great touch for a smooth surface and an interesting color. 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.

Contrasting your Colors: Making things Pop

Contrast is the idea of putting to opposing colors or ideas next to each other. In this fashion you can generate movement of the eye from one area to another, or concentrate the focus of a room on one particular aspect. For the best color contrast look at a color wheel and choose colors that are opposite one another. And remember, one can put too much contrast in a room very easily. In order to prevent yourself from creating a mess, focus on setting up one contrasting element in the room and no more.
