Prime Petite Furniture: Hints

Designing the Outside of Your Dollhouse Kit

The outside of the dollhouse has as much do to with the appeal, if not more, than the inside design. The Paint of the dollhouse along with the look of the shingles is the first thing that you notice with your exterior. Three coats of high quality paint, recommended for dollhouses, is the minimum for dollhouse display. When you are applying the shingles first die them and then assemble them with ruler drawn lines to avoid mistakes. Bird houses, dog houses, gazebos, and more are other ways to spruce up your exterior. There are even tiny additions like shutters and flower pots that you can add. Lighting is another addition that will really help the look of the outside features. Lights around the porch are the most common, if you have a gazebo place a light in the center so that the light will shine down through.

Accessorizing with Fabrics

Dollhouses contain an enormous potential for miniaturists and hobbyists alike. 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. 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. In the bathroom you have towels, floor mats, shower curtains, etc. There is just an unending amount of personal style that you can put into your dollhouse.

Styling by Era

When you first started this adventure of making, building, or designing your dollhouse, did you know what style you wanted it to be?When you are contemplating your dollhouse design, remember that you are not just picking a room at a time, but the time frame or era in which they were created. This will be your style choice or theme for your house. When you get right down to it, you might have your choice set out for you as there are really only three major era styles in dollhouse furniture. 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 the traditional or classical style which will give you a standard look - Nothing to fancy or distinct of any era, but useful in filling your dollhouse.

Making your Miniature House Better: Floor Trim

Everyone likes to tweak there dollhouses from time to time. 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 simply created a floor board to use for the trim around the floor of the dollhouse. Floor Trim is not a new creation, but what I found is instead of buying it, to use a very thin balsa wood found in most craft stores. Simply paint it the color of your dollhouse and attach it to the foot of your walls. My biggest discovery is when the trim hid most of the fine mistakes between the floor and the wall. It also prevented the wall paper to come unglued because I was covering the bottom edges with the trim. This discovery truly was a small one, but I believe that it really added to my dollhouse.
