Teensy Fisher Price Doll Pieces: Formational Suggestions
Furniture in Numbers: How Many?
It depends - this is the easiest way to answer to the question: How many miniatures can I have in one room? It depends on the size of the room and what you are trying to say. 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. In the end space needs a balance too, what is there with what is not there. 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. In the end there is no true answer because there are some many variants.
Lights and Miniatures: The Awe Factor
If you have completed a kit, furnished it, and are looking for another adventure then try lighting. This is the point when you have moved from setting up a miniature house for your kids to expanding this hobby into something more. I am not going to lie; lighting is fun, but also a bit challenging. In all reality, would we enjoy it if it wasnt a challenge? Lighting is as simple as a wire connection and a on/off switch. In addition to that you are given instructions and help in setting it up. As will all aspects of this game, things will get easier with time. The best way to start is small, so get a small kit and begin. Remember if in your mind it is too hard then you are correct.
Look Down: The Floor in your Kit
Flooring is a very interesting topic because no one really thinks to change it, and yet those that do always turn out more amazing than before. Flooring is often overlooked because it is the base, but that only means that it is really the foundation for your furniture and design choices. Just as with new flooring in any house, new flooring in a dollhouse will increase the value and appeal. You have many choices in this decision and every type of flooring will not work for each room - The standard 5 are Carpet, Linoleum, Tile, Stone, and Hard Wood. Carpet for dollhouses is very compact and comes in sheets similar to dollhouse wallpaper. The next set of flooring options that are popular are tile, and linoleum - a great touch for a smooth surface and an interesting color. Adding Stone for your deck, hardwood for your living room will add a fun touch - look around and find the best option
Styling by Era
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 will be your style choice or theme for your house. Victorian, Modern, and Traditional, though they are not the only choices, are the major players with dollhouse manufacturers - lets look at each one. The first is Victorian, a design established in the mid 1800s that will give you old home design from cooking stoves to classic armoires. 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. Traditional furniture doesn't have a lot of pep, but the selection is great - this will fit any dollhouse and can be used at times in matching Modern or Victorian styles.
