Dollhouse Nursery

Few rooms are as adorable and whimsical as a nursery or children's room. You can decorate the children's room to look serene or lively, and the accessories available will enchant you (such as teddy bears, a copy of The Cat in the Hat, or a doll's dollhouse). A baby's nursery, with its delightful furniture items and styles, will make your dollhouse as homey as can be.

Unfinished Furniture for Dollhouses

If you found building your own dollhouse to be a fulfilling and liberating experience, consider purchasing furniture kits or unfinished furniture. Furniture kits include items you put together yourself that will look like their picture once they are completed. Unfinished furniture items are already assembled, but you can design them to look any way you want.

Dollhouse Bathrooms

Typical dollhouse bathroom furniture consists of a few basic items; namely, a toilet, a sink, and a tub. There is actually an extensive variety of colors, patterns, and materials for these items, so there are just as many choices for you in the bathroom as in any other room in the dollhouse. Accessories also really give a lot of individuality to your dollhouse bathroom-you can add a towel rack, a few hygiene items, or a medicine cabinet, for example.

Using Oak and Dollhouse Furniture

Oak wood has a very fine grain that lends itself to a more realistic piece of dollhouse furniture. Its natural color is lighter and fits in well with a traditional or classical style dollhouse. Because of this lighter hue there are many bedroom sets, living room sets and other pieces that accent the fabric of the dollhouse furniture piece. Oak is a great pick for a traditional or modern dollhouse, but the material does lend itself to be used in most any style.

Using Wicker with Dollhouse Furniture
When you really want to have some detail in your dollhouse it is time to consider wicker furniture. Wicker gets its name from the interweaving of bamboo or vine around a furniture frame. In much of the same way that it is made traditionally, dollhouse wicker furniture is built with wire or very small wood strips. It is a high quality design that you will find in outdoor sets or in some modern dollhouse sets.

Using Poly-resin with Dollhouse Material

A growing market in the way of dollhouse material is the use of poly-resin in miniature accessories and furniture. It is a durable material blend from polyester and resin that can be molded and shaped with precise detail. There are two great benefits in using poly-resin, the first is a very durable piece, the second is that the color is less likely to fade than standard paint.

Mahogany Material

Mahogany is a very durable wood that will resist scratches from play time. Mahoganies natural color emanates a beautiful antique look that will add greatly to your dollhouse eye appeal. It almost seems that a dollhouse is not complete without a piece of mahogany. Most antique mahogany pieces were made in the 1700's, and these dollhouse furniture replicas would fit great in any Victorian dollhouse kit.
