Using an Artists Color Wheel for your Benefit
Ever since we picked up our first box of crayons we have desired to match, mix, and create It is no different when you have fabric, furniture, and room color choices. Everyone that has gone to high school art or taken any basic art school knows a little bit about the color wheel. This wheel was designed to fit all colors into a solid circle to express similarities and differences. Opposing colors are the most different and offer attractiveness to the eye called contrast, colors touching each other are the most similar and can be accent colors that heighten, but dont distract from the feel. 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.
Accessories: The Little Touches
This hobby is about the little details. From living room lamps to kitchen coffee mugs, these are the small details found in the accessories category. Not only will these little trinkets add a flare to your doll’s house, but it will make your friend’s dolls jealous. Also, accessories add that lived in touch. And don’t hold back, there are so many miniatures out there that there is no reason you cannot get exactly what you want.
Designing by 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. Great dollhouses are no different. To help you get in the mood setting, picture the room and the feelings that emanate from that room, then design colors, furniture, and styles to match that setting. 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.
The secret touch of a great Dollhouse: Lights
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. When you add lights to it you are dedicating a bit of time and energy, you are also stating that it will not be used for toddlers, but receives more of a collectible status. Lighting your kit can be a fun yet challenging time. And why shouldn’t that challenge encourage us to try?First of all the basics are simply hooking up lighting from a plug to a light. And to add upon that there are great step by step instructions that come with most kits to help you along the way. 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.
