Miniature Decisions: How Many Pieces of Furniture
One of the miniature furniture decisions that you will have to make is answering this question: How many miniatures can I have in one room? The answer depends on the theme or message that you are trying to send, and also on the size of the room. 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. In the end space needs a balance too, what is there with what is not there. The empty space gives your eyes a chance to relax on those miniatures that are in the room. On the other hand if you have too much space then you simply ask: Is that it? As there are many answers to one puzzle this is just another scenario where you need to play around with it until you have a knack for it.
Using Size to your Benefit for 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 furniture The 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. The last point is relative size; this means that within a room you can coordinate the pieces. Smaller pieces will get less attention than other pieces, and the larger pieces should be the ones that you want everyone to look at.
Contrasting your Colors: Making things Pop
Contrast is the idea of putting to opposing colors or ideas next to each other. Using contrast works well to move your eye to a certain location of the room, or in a predetermined pattern. If you are planning to use color as your primary medium for contrast then refer to a color wheel - the colors opposite from one another will bring the most contrast. When dealing with color contrast remember that it is easy to over due it and come out cluttered. In order to prevent yourself from creating a mess, focus on setting up one contrasting element in the room and no more.
Fabrics and Cloth
If you like detail, craft, and design then dollhouse design is a great opportunity to grow your talents. For instance the amount of detail that is available to you is mesmerizing. Fabrics and cloth is one awesome example as you can coordinate colors and have your favorites stand out. The bedroom is an excellent demonstration of detail and the breadth of items that you can create. Just think of all the fabrics that you use in your own bedroom - Sheets, curtains, blankets, etc. Next is the dinning room where you can have your own napkins, dinning room table covers, seat covers, etc. 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.
