There is a common question that is asked when getting miniatures: Can I put too many pieces of doll furniture in one room? It really depends on the room that you are trying to furnish and how it looks once the furniture is installed. First of all you are not going to want to cram any room with furniture, it is wasteful and distasteful. But secondly if you cram the room with furniture you are missing out on some simple space designing techniques. You see sometimes it is not about what is in the room but what is not. The empty space gives your eyes a chance to relax on those miniatures that are in the room. But don't think that all space is better, because an empty room is just as bad as a cluttered or crammed one. At the end of the day you will have to come to that balance on your own.
Fabrics and Cloth
Once you understand that anything and everything can change, be created, or designed in your dollhouse it opens up tons of potential. For instance the amount of detail that is available to you is mesmerizing. One example is fabrics within a dollhouse. Bedrooms are a fabulous place to start. Everything from curtains and pillows, to mattresses and blankets can be created and made to fit. Moving on to the dinning room there is the dinning table cloth and if you are really fancy you can have coordinating napkins. From there we move to the bathroom where you can create your own shower curtains, toilet seat covers, and more. There is just an unending amount of personal style that you can put into your dollhouse.
Matching Colors: A Science that is Well Developed to Help
Color will be the over ruling design medium for your dollhouse furniture and design 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. Opposite colors on the wheel are those with absolute contrast and stability. This by no means is a full explanation of the science of color, but a mere push to get you thinking in the right direction for your dollhouse coordination.
Contrasting your Colors: Making things Pop
Contrast is the idea of putting to opposing colors or ideas next to each other. Contrast in interior design makes the eye roll over certain areas of the room and focus on a couple of segments or patterns. Contrasting colors are identified on a simple color wheel: They are the colors that are opposite each other. And remember, one can put too much contrast in a room very easily. In order to prevent yourself from creating a mess, focus on setting up one contrasting element in the room and no more.
