Contrasting your Colors: Making things Pop

Contrast is the idea of putting to opposing colors or ideas next to each other. Using contrast works well to move your eye to a certain location of the room, or in a predetermined pattern. If you are planning to use color as your primary medium for contrast then refer to a color wheel – the colors opposite from one another will bring the most contrast. Using contrast in a room, is like using salt with food, you use to much and you get overwhelmed quickly. In order to prevent yourself from creating a mess, focus on setting up one contrasting element in the room and no more.

Creating Colors that Work in your Environment

Interior design, for your own personal home, or for your dollhouse kit can be a matter of color choices. The desire to coordinate is known throughout any art or design school and is taught at a basic level using a color wheel. The basis of the wheel is that some colors are similar to one another, and others have contrast. Opposite colors on the wheel are those with absolute contrast and stability. 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.

Look Down: The Floor in your Kit

It is the small things that once changed make the biggest difference, and in this case flooring is a great small change for a big difference. 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. There are several types of flooring that you might want to consider: Carpet, linoleum, tile, stone, and/or hard wood. Carpet for dollhouses is very compact and comes in sheets similar to dollhouse wallpaper. A quick fix to bathroom or kitchen rooms is linoleum and tile. Adding Stone for your deck, hardwood for your living room will add a fun touch – look around and find the best option

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 really depends on the room that you are trying to furnish and how it looks once the furniture is installed. First, the rule of thumb is not trying to cram too much furniture, yes I know that it is fun, but everything has its limits. But secondly if you cram the room with furniture you are missing out on some simple space designing techniques. 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. As there are many answers to one puzzle this is just another scenario where you need to play around with it until you have a knack for it.
