Furniture Placement Can Give You a New Look

Have you ever found yourself confused as to the correct layout of your dollhouse furniture?A placement strategy is simply a way of trying things differently to give you the arrangement you want. As there are so many different ways to layout furniture let us talk about arranging by symmetrical shapes. In first simple strategy, the triangle, imagine a large triangle in the middle of the room and then take the three primary pieces of furniture and place them at the corners of that triangle. The square design is used with either three or four types of big pieces of furniture, with four pieces the furniture is places in the corner of an imaginary square. You can also use the square approach with five pieces; just place the extra piece 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.

Making your Miniature House Better: Floor Trim

As you are building and tweaking your dollhouse you will discover some great time saving secrets. There are some great things that you can add to your house, and I just simply came across one that helped out a lot. I discovered the importance of having trim around your floor. You can buy many types of dollhouse trim through stores but what I found to be the cheapest and easiest is purchasing a long thin flat piece of balsa wood. Simply paint it the color of your dollhouse and attach it to the foot of your walls. I was most impressed to not see any more tiny cracks between the wall and the flooring due to the trim covering it up. Another great thing about the trim is that it covers the edges of the wallpaper and prevents fraying. I realize that this little invention, though not my own, really made my flooring look flush and neat against the wall.

Wallpaper: A simple Trick for an Outstanding Look

Though you may want to paint some of your walls, we recommend that you try wallpaper as it is a great substitute to paint and leaves a great look. Not only will the walls have a cute and distinct pattern, but the job will be done in a fraction of the time. Begin your searching for the perfect wallpaper with a hobby or craft store, and try not to be too overwhelmed as there are thousands of choices out there. Because you are looking to cover a relatively small area, you should look at getting 1 or 2 square feet at a time. And remember, if you are even a tiny bit computer literate you can print your own dollhouse wallpaper styles and designs. If you have a computer and a semi decent printer simply make a style that you are comfortable and print out a couple sheets. Scrap booker's will have all the necessary materials for you as well, so if you know anyone or if you are a scrap booker yourself look at your collection of paper and I am sure that something will work. As you develop your mad wallpapering skills you will ad contrast, style, connectivitly and a perfect design to your dollhouse kit!

Furniture in Numbers: How Many?

There is a common question that is asked when getting miniatures: How many pieces of dollhouse furniture should I put in my room?It depends on the size of the room and what you are trying to say. First, the rule of thumb is not trying to cram too much furniture, yes I know that it is fun, but everything has its limits. Second, having everything in means that what was not there is gone. You see sometimes it is not about what is in the room but what is not. The empty space gives your eyes a chance to relax on those miniatures that are in the room. But don't think that all space is better, because an empty room is just as bad as a cluttered or crammed one. In the end there is no true answer because there are some many variants.
