Floor Plan Design and Preparation
Every great designer knows to start with a plan. A plan of action is crucial because it will keep you on a track leading to success. With miniature design a plan of action will consist of a floor plan and budget. A floor plan is a drawing, picture, or print of a dollhouse room that you would like to coordinate. There is a plentiful supply of examples of good room designs both online and offline. Simply take note of a great room that you saw at a friends house and make notes on what you liked and what you didnt. Compare your notes to your current plan and change it if necessary. Once you have a good idea of what you would like you will need to budget accordingly. Remember, this is a hobby and constraining yourself to a budget allows control and happiness over your financial situation. In my opinion it is better to save up for a nice piece of furniture rather than going ahead with a cheap copy.
Rearranging Furniture? Try Some New Strategies
Because a doll's furniture is very light you can easily found the perfect arrangement in a matter of seconds. There are many options in furniture layout that you might not have thought of.

The five pieces square is the same but one piece, usually the most prominent is placed in the middle. Though these are the most used you can have any types, shapes, and patterns that form a symmetrical or aesthetically pleasing layout.
How Many? The reality of that question applied to Miniatures
There is a common question that is asked when getting miniatures: 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. You see sometimes it is not about what is in the room but what is not. If you notice a space balanced room your eye is more relaxed as it doesn't have to weed out the mess. On the other hand if you have too much space then you simply ask: Is that it?In the end there is no true answer because there are some many variants.
