Elegant Short Furniture: Modeling ConceptsSubmitted by wentforthw Wed, 20 May 2009
Designing with Linens
If you like detail, craft, and design then dollhouse design is a great opportunity to grow your talents. The shear amount of detail can be both overwhelming and exiting. One example is fabrics within a dollhouse. Bedrooms are a fabulous place to start. Just think of all the fabrics that you use in your own bedroom - Sheets, curtains, blankets, etc. 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. As I stated before, it is endless, so enjoy the possibilities! Designing by 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. A bedroom would have a personal setting to illustrate the mood of that individual and help them feel comfortable. Just as houses are dictated by mood, a great dollhouse should as well. Visualize what mood you would like to portray in your rooms, for what purposes would they have that room and what particular mood would they set. When you tap into the mood you will know it, and the design of the room will just fall in place as if it was meant to be there all along. Wallpaper: A simple Trick for an Outstanding Look Once you have painted the interior of an entire kit you will realize the value of covering the walls with wallpaper. It really does save a lot of time to put wallpaper up especially if you have done it before. As far as the where and what kind of wallpaper options are out there you should start with a hobby website or store. Because you are looking to cover a relatively small area, you should look at getting 1 or 2 square feet at a time. You can also print off your own wallpaper. If you have a computer and a semi decent printer simply make a style that you are comfortable and print out a couple sheets. A great tip is to go to a scrap booking store, they will have sheets cut to your needs with several design choices to fit your needs. Remember, you learn by doing, so start with something simple and create something amazing. Dollhouse Flooring Options 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 is often overlooked because it is the base, but that only means that it is really the foundation for your furniture and 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 for dollhouses is very compact and comes in sheets similar to dollhouse wallpaper. The next set of flooring options that are popular are tile, and linoleum - a great touch for a smooth surface and an interesting color. 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.
