Fashion and Homes #2

Hey guys! Welcome to another Fashion & Homes. This week will be a bit more visual, as are going to reiterate our points from last week into a sample house created by one of our staff members. (Thanks Finn!)

With each picture, we will have an inspiration, back story, and a few points that we found strong within that room. Hope you guys enjoy!

The image we're trying to convey in this house is a small town in Marleybone. The Ambassador of Marleybone lies here, with a staff that serves whenever, or wherever. Though the Ambassador does have staff, he treats them with kindness and respect, and even has a room in his house for their relaxation. Above, is the Servant Lounge, where the maids and butlers of the Marleybonian Ambassador can take a breather after a long days work.

Tip: Most of the furniture is in the front of the room for depth purposes. The table is in great positioning the middle of the stairs, making the room look uncrowded but not empty.

The Ambassador loves his holidays, especially Marleymas (The Marleybonian Christmas :p). He spends time with his wife and puppies by the fireplace, in which they tell stories and relax. If his wife and children are busy, he normally lays down here and reads the newspaper.

Tip: The furniture placement in this picture is a great example. Most of these furniture pieces are separate, but collide very well together. The main key to finding matching furniture pieces is patience. Remember to mix and match, surprise yourself with different furniture from different worlds!

The basic living/meeting room. In this spot of the Ambassador's house, he has meetings with figures from all over the Spiral. Merle Ambrose even came once, granting him the exclusive spell books on the tables.

Tip: Never leave a table empty! Because tabletop items are very small, it's not too important what you put on them, as long as they match with the theme. Also, play around with the positioning of your furniture. As you an see in the above picture, the chairs aren't straight. You can curve and slant them for a better "house" feeling.

This is the small pantry where food is held before being set on the dinner table. The Ambassador comes in and out of this place all the time. (His wife isn't the greatest cook)

Tip: The littlest furniture items can add the largest depth. Remember to add a candle, a clock, or even a gallon of milk to your room. It'll make it look realistic, and will take up a bit more space, which is ultimately better.

The dining room is where everything great happens! After a long day of work, the Ambassador sits down with his wife and kids and.. bon appétit! 

After a large meal, the Ambassador goes to bed.. What a busy day!

Thank you for reading!
