Dollhouse interior decorating can be just like decorating your own home. You need to plan carefully and understand well what you expect to happen to get the look that you want. There are some things that you need to consider before you start your dollhouse interior decorating.
First, you should remember that the amount of work that you are going to exert for your dollhouse interior decorating depends on what purpose the dollhouse is for. For instance, if your dollhouse is for play reasons, a little may go a long way. You can even just leave the interior decorating to a kid and let his or her imagination do the work. You can paint the floors, ceilings and walls with colors of your choice and add pieces of nice and cheap furniture. Minimalism is the key to interior decorating your play dollhouse.
On the other hand, you may need to exert more effort when interior decorating a display dollhouse. This can be a great opportunity for you to unleash your creative side and make the most out of your imagination. If you don’t have a clue how to start off, you can get some inspiration by checking out the miniature interior designs of Brooke Tucker. You can also visit The Art Institute of Chicago’s Thorne Room Exhibit. It has about sixty-eight amazing miniature interior designs.
Moreover, when dollhouse interior decorating, you need to define the style you are going to create. If you want a traditional interior, old world furniture from Chippendale and Queen Anne are your ideal bets. Go for soft colors and antique pieces too. Informal furniture arrangement, simple accessories and earth colors would go well for a casual dollhouse style to achieve a warm look. A contemporary dollhouse design usually requires more sophisticated designs, elegant accessories as well as bold and bright colors. You can also mix two or more styles to create an eclectic dollhouse interior.
You may also want to identify a strong focal point for every room. This focal point will draw attention to your room and can be used as a jump off to furniture arrangements. Make a floor plan for every room as well. Draw sketches representing the outline of every room. This way, you can determine what furniture you need and how to arrange it. Also, research supplies that are necessary for your dollhouse interior decorating. You will need pieces for hardware, flooring, furniture and wallpaper, among many others. If you want to put some lighting into your dollhouse, make sure that you do it before installing floor and wall coverings; otherwise you may have a hard time doing it.
The possibilities are endless as to your dollhouse interior decorating task. Play up with your imagination and don’t be afraid to explore. The work may be tough and challenging but if you are passionate at it, then you can expect a finished dollhouse that you and the rest will be proud of. Also, do not forget to have fun and enjoy in the process.
