Superb Doll Furniture: Design Counsel
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. This is the point when you have moved from setting up a miniature house for your kids to expanding this hobby into something more. 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. In addition to that you are given instructions and help in setting it up. Sure you are going to make mistakes, but you will learn and it will get easier for you. We recommend getting a small electrical kit to start, they are simple to set up and get started with. Remember it is only hard or challenging if you make it out to be.
Furniture in Numbers: How Many?
There is a common question that is asked when getting miniatures: Can I put too many pieces of doll furniture 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 of all you are not going to want to cram any room with furniture, it is wasteful and distasteful. 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.
Dollhouse and the Appropriate Mood
Great designers know that in order to have a good layout and design you need to strive for the appropriate mood. A mood is the purpose of the room, the reason that it exists. One example of a mood is the dining room should be a place of meeting, where people can relax and talk to one another. One more example would be the bedroom, the most personal quarters, and is designed for only one person. Great dollhouses are no different. To tap into your mood settings, think about the purpose of the room, why it is their, and what designs, colors, furniture, would better suit that mood. The more you can portray the appropriate move, the more you will convince your friends and family your great skills as a miniaturist.
