Using Wire with Dollhouse Furniture
Looking for a nontraditional design for your furniture? Wire does what wood cannot. In this manner the wire can represent any variety of furniture shapes and colors. Wire will appear in dollhouse rooms, but it is most prevalent in dollhouse accessories, and outdoor furniture.
Dollhouse Bedrooms
Every dollhouse needs a bedroom. When you choose your dollhouse bedroom, you will be astounded at the variety-there are lots of furniture pieces to choose from, and they all have different colors, styles, and designs. Many sets come with custom-designed bedding, detailed engravings, and other specialized touches.
Coordinating dollhouse furniture: White
Traditionally white furniture remained in bathrooms and bedrooms, but recently there has been an increase in the popularity of this color. White can be coordinated with any furniture type, room, flooring, or even wallpaper. White furniture is also very easy to clean and upkeep.
Dollhouse funiture Scales: Half Inch
Dollhouse scales tell you that you are buying the right sized furniture for your dollhouse. If the scale is half inch or quarter inch, it will say so in the title; all other items are on a one inch scale.
Dollhouse scales show how many inches of furniture correspond to a foot, or 12 inches, of real life furniture. For example, a dollhouse dresser that is 2 inches tall represents a 4 foot tall real dresser. In other scales, such as 1 inch and quarter inch, different sizes would represent that same dresser.
If you do not know the scale of furniture you need for your dollhouse, use a ruler to determine the floor-to-ceiling height on the bottom floor of your dollhouse. An 8-12 inch height means it is built on a 1 inch scale. Heights between 4-6 inches use a half inch scale; heights between 2-3 inches are on a quarter inch scale.
Unfinished Dollhouse Furniture and Kits
Unfinished furniture and furniture kits give you the same satisfaction and freedom that you get from building your own dollhouse kit. Unfinished furniture items are already assembled but can be decorated in any way you want; they are quite sturdy. Furniture kits are unassembled, but once you put them together they will appear as they do in the picture.
Game and Music Furniture
If you are looking to add some style and fun to your dollhouse, adding a music or game room is the way to go Music rooms could feature any type of instruments (some that really play music, and make your home more sophisticated and cultured. Game rooms really draw the eye and make viewers smile; they also make dollhouses feel more homey and "real".
Using Wicker with Dollhouse Furniture
Who would have thought that they actually make furniture with wicker? It is the result of interlacing branch, wire, vine, or bamboo around a furniture frame. Most furniture sets that have a wicker design are made from wire, as there are not much miniature bamboo trees. It is a high quality design that you will find in outdoor sets or in some modern dollhouse sets.
