Building
and decorating a dolls house is a big job and will generally
take many hours of work which is often spread over a numnber
of weeks, months or even years in some cases. Before you get
started on your dolls house project it's a good idea to do some
research and planning so you can achieve the desired finished
result and get the most enjoyment out of it.
Choice
of Decoration
The first thing to decide is how you want to finished the dolls
house to look and what materials you intend to use. Important
factors to consider are the period and style of the dolls house,
your budget and the amount of time you intend to spend on the
project.
The
simplest and cheapest option is a basic painted finish inside
and out. This is ideal for a childs dolls house which is likely
to get a lot of wear and tear and it can easily be repainted
as and when necessary. The next step up is wallpaper which is
still a relatively easy and cheap option and there are many
designs to choose from for both interior and exterior use. For
a more realistic dolls house the range of available decorative
finishes is very extensive indeed. Some realistic dolls house
finishes can be created relatively easily and for little cost,
but others can prove to be very expensive and time consuming
so it's a good idea to look into it carefully before making
your decision.
Dolls
House Lighting
It isn't essential to install dolls house lighting, but it can
look very attractive and add an atmosphere of warmth and life.
It probably wouldn't be a good idea to install lighting in a
young childs dolls house, but in most other cases it should
be seriously considered.
Planning
Ahead
To make the task of building and decorating your dolls house
as simple as possible and to ensure the best finished result
it is a good idea to plan ahead to ensure the various parts
are done in the correct order. For example it's generally it's
a good idea to install the wiring for the dolls house lighting
before decorating as the wires need to be laid under the floor
coverings and behind the wallpaper etc. Also, it's usually much
easier to paint the window frames and mouldings before installing
them.
