Leopard Print Chaise Longue
Furnishing a contemporary dolls house means you can have fun with the latest design styles in miniature, all for the fraction of the price of renovating your real full-sized home. ...
Think 'ooh la la' and picture the Moulin rouge and you are heading in the right direction for this look. French boudoir is all about romance and opulence teamed with vintage-styled French furniture. It really is a mix and match look, combining the elegance of vintage French style with modern touches in crystal, glass, mirroring and wrought iron - this is where the white wire furniture comes into its own! Whether you use it au natural, or paint it black or silver, white wire dolls house furniture can be used in any room of the house to bring this decorating scheme to life.
The idea is to over do the silk and satin look fabric for bedding and curtains to create elaborate swagging and paint walls in light shades as a calming backdrop to the racey furnishings you are going to use.
- Key colours are black, white and silver
- Key features are crystal, mirrors, glass, animal prints, hearts and flock.
