Miniature Decisions: How Many Pieces of Furniture

There is a common question that is asked when getting miniatures: How many miniatures can I have in one room?It really depends on the room that you are trying to furnish and how it looks once the furniture is installed. First, it is not only messy but wasteful when you buy more than you need. Second, the more stuff that you put in the more fresh clean space that you will be left without. You must realize that space itself can have its own designing capabilities. The empty space gives your eyes a chance to relax on those miniatures that are in the room. However, this doesn't mean that you should go to far the other way and place a single chair in an entire room. At the end of the day you will have to come to that balance on your own.

Exterior Modeling: Getting the outside to look as good as the inside

Once you have completed your inside design, it is time to look again at the exterior design and some ways to make it look better. The first thing that everybody looks at is the paint and the shingles. When you are setting up your dollhouse apply a good three coats of good craft paint to your dollhouse. The shingles should be died and applied carefully using a ruler to assure that the lines are straight. There are many other ways to enjoy an attractive exterior; most of them are through accessories like dog houses, or gazebos. You can even have some small flower pots to place in the window seals. And let us not forget the biggest advantage to designing the outside: the lights. Put some porch lights on, and if you have lit the inside it will make the glow through the windows appealing on the outside as well.

Size: Very Important in Design

There are three major sizing elements that you will need to deal with in interior layout with a dolls room. The first sizing element of miniatures is the scale, the second is the room dimensions, and third is sizing miniatures next to one another. 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. This means that each set has its own symmetry of size, larger, medium, and smaller pieces should coordinate together in a pattern that makes sense.

Dollhouse and the Appropriate 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. Each room has a mood, meaning that there are some underlying purposes for which you would have that room. A great example is a play room where the sole purpose of the room is to have fun and enjoy oneself. A bedroom would have a personal setting to illustrate the mood of that individual and help them feel comfortable. Great dollhouses are no different. 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.
