Town Square Miniatures White Rocking Cradle

Decorating your dollhouse nursery is a rewarding project with so many wonderful choices! The array of miniature furniture available makes decorating this room so much fun. There are many styles of dollhouse furniture to choose among – you can have a simple, contemporary nursery filled with sleek dollhouse furniture in modern designs. You can opt for a warmer feeling by choosing dollhouse nursery furniture in reddish oak tones, or you can have your dream doll house nursery decorated with doll furniture in beautiful carved, ornate designs.

Before you begin decorating your nursery (by that, I mean laying down the basics: dollhouse wallpaper, dollhouse flooring, etc.), ask yourself the following questions:

1. Is the dollhouse nursery meant for a baby girl or a baby boy? This is important because your entire room design theme will hinge on the answer to this question.

2. What style appeals to you? Look online or through doll house magazines or catalogs to see whether your eye leans towards an ornate, traditional style or a simple, contemporary decorating style.

3. What is the style of the rest of the dollhouse? Don’t forget to take into account the architectural style of your dollhouse when designing your nursery.

After you have selected the basics for your dollhouse nursery including your flooring, wallpaper and miniature hardware, you are ready for the next layer of decorating: the furniture or fixtures of the room.

You will want to take the size and style of your nursery into account when choosing the miniature furniture pieces. If you purchase too many pieces for the space, you will over-decorate and leave the room with a cluttered and overcrowded feeling.

If you are decorating a nursery for a boy, the warm tones of reddish oak or the bold look of mahogany and walnut furniture pieces are a great choice. Of course, you can also select these woods for a baby girl’s room, but they will make a stronger, more dramatic statement in your dollhouse baby’s room. It is common to see bright white or antique white colors in a girl’s nursery.

The most common pieces of miniature furniture in a doll house nursery include a miniature crib, miniature changing table, miniature rocking chair and if room permits, a miniature chest or miniature diaper stand. Other smaller furnishings you may consider (if you have the space) include a doll house toy box or miniature rocking horse. Both Classics by Handley and Townsquare Miniatures are excellent makers of quality, doll house furniture. For higher-end pieces, consider decorating with furniture hand-crafted by Hansson Miniatures.

Remember, that the most fun is about to come. After choosing miniature furnishings, you will select dollhouse accessories to personalize your nursery. Happy dollhouse decorating!
