Creating style can be more intense than what you have previously thought, what era will your dollhouse resemble? Most of us want the furniture, paint, wallpaper, etc, to match and flow together from one room to another. This is creating a styling theme. When you get right down to it, you might have your choice set out for you as there are really only three major era styles in dollhouse furniture. Victorian is the first major theme, it is recognized by the embellishments in furniture through long curved lines, elaborate fabric, and old fashioned pieces. If you want to stand out or go with a more up to date style, Modern design will give you simplicity, technology, and some great straight lined pieces. The last is the traditional or classical style which will give you a standard look – Nothing to fancy or distinct of any era, but useful in filling your dollhouse.
