Innovational Minuscule Barbie Doll Furniture: Hints
Look Down: The Floor in your Kit
Flooring is a very interesting topic because no one really thinks to change it, and yet those that do always turn out more amazing than before. Undoubtedly Flooring is the foundation of your dollhouse, and as such is the foundation for all of your 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. Linoleum and tile are basically the same for your kit in application, they are simply different designs. The hardest type of flooring to add is a stone or hard wood option, but in the end these are the best from a designing standpoint.
Modern, Victorian, Classical - The Standards of Design
Creating style can be more intense than what you have previously thought, what era will your dollhouse resemble? Each piece of furniture will belong to a certain room, but you must also realize that each room should connect with each other. This is creating a styling theme. 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. If you are more of a romantic you will choose the Victorian theme, because it resembles a tasteful past, fluid curves, and astounding furniture pieces. The second is Modern, which brings in all of the technology from our day from TVs, stainless steel refrigerators, and off the wall furniture designs. The last is Traditional furniture - it is more about functionality than design, giving you the pieces of furniture that you might find in a local store which is great to make a replica, or to just make your dolls feel at home.
Designing by Mood
Great designers know that in order to have a good layout and design you need to strive for the appropriate mood. The mood of the room is chosen by the expectations of those that do, or plan to use it. 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. 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. As you increase your miniaturist talent with your own dollhouses people will notice the particular moods, and even though they can't quite put there finger on it, they will be impressed.
Creating Colors that Work in your Environment
Ever since we picked up our first box of crayons we have desired to match, mix, and create It is no different when you have fabric, furniture, and room color choices. Now you dont have to be a professional artist to understand color, the basic level of matching colors begins with the color wheel. The basis of the wheel is that some colors are similar to one another, and others have contrast. Opposite colors on the wheel are those with absolute contrast and stability. When starting your designing pick up a color wheel for your color selections, a little knowledge about color coordination will go a long way to help your design and flow capabilities.
