Petite
Dollhouse Pieces: Layout
Suggestions
Planning and Preparation
with your Miniatures.
Plan your dollhouse design,
and expect to follow that plan. A plan will
help you avoid pitfalls like spending too much
or buying the wrong items. The essentials that
you will want to have to start are a floor plan
and a budget. A floor plan will consist of
measurements, color, furniture pieces, and a
good rough outline of the room. There is a
plentiful supply of examples of good room
designs both online and offline. Take a note
book and jot down things that you would like to
add, modify, or change with your plan. Compare
your notes to your current plan and change it
if necessary. Now that you are ready to buy,
you will want to break out your budget to make
sure that you don't overspend. It does not
matter how great a miniature is, if it makes
you overspend you probably will regret it when
you need that money for other items. If you
find a piece of furniture that is over your
budget apply your patience and save until you
can purchase it.
Dollhouse Exterior
Design
When you have completed your
dollhouse you will want people to admire the
outside of your dollhouse just as much as they
do the inside. The first thing that everybody
looks at is the paint and the shingles. 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. In
addition to the paint and shingles a couple of
accessories like a barbeque or bird house will
add to the attractiveness. You can even have
some small flower pots to place in the window
seals. Lighting is another addition that will
really help the look of the outside features.
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.
Adding a Mood
Designers might know about
lighting, and colors, but only the great ones
design for mood. The mood of the room is chosen
by the expectations of those that do, or plan
to use it. An example is that you would have a
kitchen to eat, have conversation, relax, cook
etc. 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. To help you get in the mood setting,
picture the room and the feelings that emanate
from that room, then design colors, furniture,
and styles to match that setting. 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.
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?It depends on the size
of the room and what you are trying to say.
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. 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.
