Decoration: How important is the background?

Sometimes we spend a lot of time thinking about what to wear, and when we get the perfect outfit... 

Now what?

The background over which we put our doll is as important as the outfit she's wearing. Why? If we choose the correct one, we can make our doll stand out.

The colours, the shape, the textures... of the clothing and furniture have to be consistent.

Let's see some examples, comparing a correct background and another which is not (from my point of view, as always!):

#1

In the first picture, there's armony of colours and everything seems to be in its place. The second background isn't really bad, but the colours really don't match correctly.

 #2

Again the same background (first picture) is the one that better works, because the outfit has the same colours as the furniture. In the other picture (second one), the sweater gets confused with the wall because they both are white. Also the brown details of the look doesn't match well with the black and white room.

#3

Both pictures have an armony of colours, but the problem (again) is that in the second one the black sweater gets confused with the black wall. However, in the first picture, the sweater stands out.

#4

In the first time, the total white outfit stands out from the dark brown room, however, in the second room it doesn't because the wall is also white and the floor is also a light colour.

Always I make a new outfit, I think automatically which background could be the best to stand out it.

Everything is important, so pay attention to these details!
