Rearranging Furniture? Try Some New Strategies

Have you ever found yourself confused as to the correct layout of your dollhouse furniture?There are many options in furniture layout that you might not have thought of. As there are so many different ways to layout furniture let us talk about arranging by symmetrical shapes. In first simple strategy, the triangle, imagine a large triangle in the middle of the room and then take the three primary pieces of furniture and place them at the corners of that triangle. The square design is used with either three or four types of big pieces of furniture, with four pieces the furniture is places in the corner of an imaginary square. You can also use the square approach with five pieces; just place the extra piece in the middle. This is only the tip of the iceberg as you can allow your designs to envelop any arrangement of shapes.

Adding a Mood

The mood of the room should be a designers motivation and no other, it is the mood that dictates color and furniture, and not the other way around. The mood of the room is chosen by the expectations of those that do, or plan to use it. A great example is a play room where the sole purpose of the room is to have fun and enjoy oneself. 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. Visualize what mood you would like to portray in your rooms, for what purposes would they have that room and what particular mood would they set. When you tap into the mood you will know it, and the design of the room will just fall in place as if it was meant to be there all along.

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. Now you dont have to be a professional artist to understand color, the basic level of matching colors begins with 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. The colors right next to each other are called analogous colors, and offer slight similarities for color patterns, and those opposite offer the most contrast and pop. As a first step into the designing realm for yourself, I recommend that you defiantly read up on the color coordination material that is on the internet or any good book, as it will really help your style.

How Many? The reality of that question applied to Miniatures

It depends - this is the easiest way to answer to the question: 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, 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 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. However, this doesn't mean that you should go to far the other way and place a single chair in an entire room. At the end of the day you will have to come to that balance on your own.
