Nursery & Kids

As is the case for all miniature rooms, the principals of designing a miniature nursery are the same as when designing a real-life nursery. The good thing about decorating for children in miniature (as opposed to real life) is that there are no safety regulations to consider. And, in miniature, you don’t have to worry about dirty little hand prints on everything!

First of all, start with a theme or style idea, whether gender-driven, color-driven, or an actual theme, like nautical or princess. Then choose basic nursery accessories or kids furniture for your dollhouse, depending on whether for a newborn or child: crib or bed, changing table and/or dresser, chair, and a hutch or chest of drawers. Miniatures.com has a wide selection of these furniture items in a variety of styles and finishes; also check for more options in the Child's Bedroom category (subcategory of Shop by Room). Babies and children have a lot of things, so you also need to think about storage; perhaps you want shelving, bookcases and bins for all their toys and books.

After you have taken care of the basics, start accessorizing! Browse miniatures.com for wallpaper, lighting, artwork, curtains, rugs, toys, dolls and more to complete the room and make it personal. Another good thing about designing a nursery or child’s room in miniature is that it will never be outgrown, so go all out!
