Innovational Petite Doll Accessories: Modeling Clues
Life Touches: Dollhouse Accessories
The real fun with a kit or hobby of this sort is reveling in the small details. These small details can be anything from small toothbrushes in the bathroom, to magazines for the bedroom bookcase. Adding these into your kit will spruce it up, add a fun touch, and cause visitors to sit and stare. In addition to design, it adds a realistic feel that says people actually live here. So express yourself and personality in the type of china, miniature animals, portraits and more!
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 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. The first is the miniature scale, and you could really lose some money buying the wrong size. Meaning that if you have a half inch dollhouse that you need to purchase half inch dollhouse furniture. The second is room size: or simply not cramming furniture into the room that will not fit. Take out a ruler and measure the square inches of the room and compare it to your incoming furniture dimensions. Finally, relative or comparative size is the size of the furniture in relation to other pieces in the set. 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 Interior Plan Preparation
Every great designer knows to start with a plan. A plan of action is crucial because it will keep you on a track leading to success. With miniature design a plan of action will consist of a floor plan and budget. A floor plan will consist of measurements, color, furniture pieces, and a good rough outline of the room. 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. Take these notes and modify your plan. Now that you are ready to buy, you will want to break out your budget to make sure that you don't overspend. Remember, this is a hobby and constraining yourself to a budget allows control and happiness over your financial situation. In my opinion it is better to save up for a nice piece of furniture rather than going ahead with a cheap copy.
Matching Colors: A Science that is Well Developed to Help
Interior design, for your own personal home, or for your dollhouse kit can be a matter of color choices. Everyone that has gone to high school art or taken any basic art school knows a little bit about the color wheel. When you are looking at a color wheel, it looks almost like someone took a rainbow and connected the arch into a circle. Opposing colors are the most different and offer attractiveness to the eye called contrast, colors touching each other are the most similar and can be accent colors that heighten, but dont distract from the feel. As a first step into the designing realm for yourself, I recommend that you defiantly read up on the color coordination material that is on the internet or any good book, as it will really help your style.
