Room’(2010) official YoVille.com contests. Who inspires Fallen? What
would she choose as the next YoVille theme? And what tips and tricks
does she have to share with us? Enjoy this short interview after the
link.
YVL Jil WYID: Fallen what is your creative process and how do you prepare a room before you start?
Fallen WYID: When I begin, I first clear out the
room and change the walls and floor to black. Then I place windows until
I get a design or shape I like, decide what color the room is going be,
and after that place large furnishing, like couches and furniture (Its
great now because you can try before you buy ,lol) Rugs would go next,
and this is usually the time I would add another level to my room. When I
get to this stage the rest is easy for me, I just add a few bits and
pieces in the right places to make the room look fuller.

YVL Jil WYID: Where to you get your inspiration from? And who or what inspires you?
Fallen WYID: This may sound funny but a lot of my
inspiration has come from the cartoons my kids watch, lol! I am also
inspired by any contemporary or modern interior designers out there, oh,
and all the awesome WYID and NYID members.

YVL Jil WYID: Please share with our readers a few of your design tips.
Fallen WYID: I normally stick to no more than two or
three colors that go well with each other. I have learned that two or
three good colors in ANY room can make it really stand out, and
also don’t over pack your room.Windows are great for measuring if you
want a symmetric room. To work out the center of a room, I use windows
of the same size and zig zag them across the room, then count until I
work out the middle.
YVL Jil WYID: I have noticed that you create both
‘Room Designs’ and ‘Pictographs’ exquisitely. Most designers are
stronger with either/or. Which do you prefer?
Fallen WYID: As much as I love ‘Pictographs’,
personally I prefer a well designed room, but when it comes to contest
time ‘Pictographs’ do a lot better simply because they stand out more.

YVL Jil WYID: In your honest opinion, what do you
think about the new YoVille ‘Tycoon’ theme and what would you like to
see added to it? Has it inspired any new creations?
Fallen WYID: I love the new house/boat and the
costumes they have released so far, but if I’m honest am not really into
the new furnishings and really hope they bring out nicer stuff to work
with; large chandeliers, new pillars, etc…. When I eventually get my
boat, I will be gathering inspiration from the Titanic movie as I would
love to do a titanic like ship.
YVL Jil WYID: Fallen, If you could choose the next
YoVille theme, what would that be? And, which type of furnishings and
costumes would you offer?
Fallen WYID: If I could choose the next theme in
YoVille it would have to be an ‘Under-Water’ theme with large castles,
moving fish, treasures, jewels, sand banks, moving seaweed, air bubbles
things like that. Costumes would have to be realistic looking mermaid,
starfish, seahorse etc…
