Design Tricks: Apply a Great Wallpaper Pattern Yourself

Once you have painted the interior of an entire kit you will realize the value of covering the walls with wallpaper. It really does save a lot of time to put wallpaper up especially if you have done it before. As far as the where and what kind of wallpaper options are out there you should start with a hobby website or store. Because you are looking to cover a relatively small area, you should look at getting 1 or 2 square feet at a time. And remember, if you are even a tiny bit computer literate you can print your own dollhouse wallpaper styles and designs. There are websites that will give you free wall paper prints, just start searching for them A great tip is to go to a scrap booking store, they will have sheets cut to your needs with several design choices to fit your needs. So go ahead, create unique, personalized wallpaper that matches your design, furniture, and dollhouse kit

Sizing to Your Advantage

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. The first is the miniature scale, and you could really lose some money buying the wrong size. 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 is room size: or simply not cramming furniture into the room that will not fit. 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. 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.

Using an Artists Color Wheel for your Benefit

Color will be the over ruling design medium for your dollhouse furniture and design choices. Now you don’t have to be a professional artist to understand color, the basic level of matching colors begins with the color wheel. This wheel was designed to fit all colors into a solid circle to express similarities and differences. 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.

Lights and Miniatures: The Awe Factor

Lighting and dollhouses is a little like magic at Christmas time, it adds a tremendous awe factor, but you have to be at the right point to get started. When you add lights to it you are dedicating a bit of time and energy, you are also stating that it will not be used for toddlers, but receives more of a collectible status. I am not going to lie; lighting is fun, but also a bit challenging. And why shouldn't that challenge encourage us to try? When you break it down, lighting is simply connecting electricity through a wire and a plug. And to add upon that there are great step by step instructions that come with most kits to help you along the way. Sure you are going to make mistakes, but you will learn and it will get easier for you. The best way to start is small, so get a small kit and begin. Remember whether you think you can or whether you think you can't you are right.
