Building your perfect dollhouse

First, choose a house frame. Today you can find many ready-made dollhouse frames that are empty and unpainted at many craft stores. These houses have a beautiful structure, sometimes in the style of Victorian mansions or colonial houses and are ready to be used and worked on. By choosing a ready-made dollhouse structure, you will save yourself the work of building the actual house. However, you can always choose to choose your own wood planks, cut them into pieces, and build your own custom home. Regardless, once you build the frame of the house, it’s important to know what the theme of your entire home will be. That will help you achieve a cohesion at the end that will be better than if you plan as you go.

So, from the beginning, know if you want the paradise house of a girl’s dreams, or if you want something fancy and mansion-like, or if you want something modernized or retro, or something that is more practical or something crazy and abstract. Once you decide on your theme, you will be able to make decisions that reflect your theme correctly.

So let’s say you think of a Victorian mansion style. That leaves you with a color palette of yellow, pale blue, pink, gray, black, or white for the exterior color and shingles of the house. Victorian mansions typically had lattice shutters and ornate designs, so you need to keep that in mind. Of course, if your theme is more like a girl’s dream house, you can choose colors like bright pink, baby pink, bright blue, or something else appropriate for that. Once you’ve selected your theme, you can really decide what kind of color scheme is most appropriate. That really sells the theme of the house, whichever color you choose, so choosing the right one is essential.

For the interior of the house, you can find furniture from a variety of stores. Small sofas and chairs that are built as exact replicas of real Victorian claw foot chairs with stylish bookcases and cabinets are great pieces and additions to your collection if that is your theme of choice. For the girl’s dream house, you can choose white or pink furniture or any other color for a dreamy effect. There are many accessories to choose from such as tables, beds, chairs, rugs, lighting fixtures, and a host of other things that you may decide to include.

In fact, a dollhouse is really like a collection in progress. Since you furnish it one way, you can always add pieces or build pieces to add to different rooms. Also, you can get small figurines or dolls to fill the rooms with real presences and you can also get animal figurines. You can get tiny food figurines to fill kitchens and create a little plastic feast on the dining room table. No matter what you choose, there is something good for your dollhouse and something that would make a wonderful addition to your collection.
