Dollhouse Accessories       

If you have or are building a new dollhouse, you’ll understand the fun of choosing how to decorate it. Picking out paint, wallpaper, flooring, and furniture for your dollhouse can be almost as exciting, challenging, and time-consuming as decorating a real house! As you decide how you want your dollhouse to look (and as you budget for it), don’t forget to include some miniature accessories. They will truly elevate the quality of your dollhouse designs, because they add both character and eye-appeal to your creation.

Character

Accessories are a quick and easy way to give your dollhouse a new aura. You can add unique details that will express the overall style, period, and personality your dollhouse is intended to represent.

Dollhouse accessories create a subtle but significant means of conveying the style of your dollhouse. If you want your dollhouse to have a grand, Victorian look, adding a grandfather clock here and an ornate mirror there can really emphasize the elegance of the home. If your dollhouse is intended to have a more rustic look, you can add accessories such as lariats and cowboy boots, pioneer-style quilts, or even a moose’s head to place above a mantle. If you want your dollhouse to appear lived-in, you can get children’s toys, sports equipment, toothbrushes and other hygiene supplies-even a garbage can (with or without trash included!).

Similarly, dollhouse accessories can really give expression to what era in time your dollhouse represents. If you want a colonial-style dollhouse, you can add butter churners and old-fashioned ice cream makers, wagon wheels, and a horse and buggy to keep outside. If you’d like a very modern home, you can decorate the house with computers, a plasma TV, a microwave, and a stackable washer-dryer set. Of course, there are accessories available for just about every time period in between.

Finally, accessories can add a lot of character to your home by giving it a unique personality. If you want your dollhouse to appear as if it belonged to an art enthusiast, you can decorate it with famous paintings, statues, and busts-and throw in an easel and paintbrush! If you love flowers, you can add them to your dollhouse-in vases, in flowerpots, or in a garden outside.

Eye-Appeal

Whether your dollhouse is for play or for display, it is going to be much more fun if there are accessories in your dollhouse.

If you are planning to let children (and adults!) play with your dollhouse, they will want something to play with! You can add some cans of food in the kitchen, a medicine cabinet in the bathroom, an ironing board in the laundry room, and some blocks and a wagon in the children’s room. The possibilities are practically endless. The more interesting things you add to your dollhouse, the more fun people will have discovering and interacting with them.

If your dollhouse is just for display, having accessories makes it much more intriguing to look at. For example, adding a stack of New York Times newspapers to a coffee table or a tiny chess set to the library gives viewers something to ooh and aah about. Details such as these will take your dollhouse from pretty to spectacular!
