Floor Plan Design and Preparation

Plan your dollhouse design, and expect to follow that plan. A plan of action is crucial because it will keep you on a track leading to success. A basic floor plan and a budget should be the minimum of your list; these at least will get you started. A floor plan is a drawing, picture, or print of a dollhouse room that you would like to coordinate. In order to help you look for some room examples to start on the internet and in local stores. Take a note book and jot down things that you would like to add, modify, or change with your plan. Compare your notes to your current plan and change it if necessary. Now that you are ready to buy, you will want to break out your budget to make sure that you don't overspend. It does not matter how great a miniature is, if it makes you overspend you probably will regret it when you need that money for other items. If you find a piece of furniture that is over your budget apply your patience and save until you can purchase it.

Lights and Miniatures: The Awe Factor

If you have completed a kit, furnished it, and are looking for another adventure then try lighting. Adding Lights removes your miniature set from being just another toy to a display item that will sit no longer in the toy box, but on the living room mantel. Lighting your kit can be a fun yet challenging time. And why shouldn't that challenge encourage us to try?First of all the basics are simply hooking up lighting from a plug to a light. In addition to that you are given instructions and help in setting it up. Sure you are going to make mistakes, but you will learn and it will get easier for you. We recommend getting a small electrical kit to start, they are simple to set up and get started with. Remember whether you think you can or whether you think you can't you are right.

Designing with Linens

Once you understand that anything and everything can change, be created, or designed in your dollhouse it opens up tons of potential. The shear amount of detail can be both overwhelming and exiting. 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. Moving on to the dinning room there is the dinning table cloth and if you are really fancy you can have coordinating 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.

Size: Very Important in Design

Always, always remember that there are different sizing elements in miniatures. The first one is the scale of the furniture, second is the size of the room, and third is the relative size of the furniture as it compares to other pieces of furniture. First is the scale of furniture, make sure that your furniture is the right scale for your dollhouse. Meaning, look up the miniature size of your dollhouse kit, if it is one inch scale then you need to buy one inch furnitureThe second size element, sizing up the room, means that you are not getting furniture that will not fit in the room. The actual furniture dimensions should be located at the store or website that you bought it at, simply measure and compare. Lastly, the final point is the size of the furniture as it compares to other pieces around it. Larger pieces will have more of a prominence so if you really want to make your china cabinet pop you shouldn't make the dining room table so elaborate.
