==================
Most miniature collectors dream of having an entire room in
their home in which to display their collection. Collectors
that are more avid may even need an entire wing. Regardless,
most hobbyists do not have this kind of space and must suffice
for a corner of their regular living space in which to
highlight their love for miniatures. There are several good
options available for small dollhouse needs that will allow you
to squeeze your passion for dollhouses into some tight spaces.
Sometimes, less is more. Focusing on a single-room dollhouse
can be a good way to save on space. You can put your creative
energy into minute detailing, and you may be surprised at how
much attention a single room requires. By taking the time to
select the perfect floor pattern to the intricate design on the
throw tapestry, you’ll get just as much enjoyment out of your
small dollhouse room. Plus, you’ll save on having to spend
money on detailing the exterior of a single dwelling dollhouse.
You can also trim the scale to have a small dollhouse that
takes up less space. The most common scale for miniatures is
1:12, but there are small dollhouse sets scaled to 1:24 and
even as tiny as 1:144. By scaling down, you can enjoy a full
dollhouse in a smaller amount of space.
In some cases, you can apply the same principle that has been
utilized in cities all over the world. When there is no more
ground to build on, start building up. If you just don’t have
the floor space to set up a larger miniature display, consider
using a multilevel dollhouse, or townhouse style small
dollhouses. These taller, narrower sets allow you to have
several levels of display space without using up any additional
square footage in your home.
No matter how tight your living space, there are viable options
for you to express your passion for miniatures. Don’t get
discouraged if you don’t have room to set up a full display,
but instead take a great deal of pride in how you are able to
creatively use what little bit of space that you do have. You
may find that your best work is done when you incorporate your
small dollhouse display into the framework of a room where you
never thought you’d have room to set one up.
