Doll house furniture is one of those hobby categories that feels almost endless in its options. And that’s exactly what makes it appealing. Miniature pieces that fill out rooms help bring a family’s imagination to life and can make collecting more fun for hobbyists, children, and parents alike.
But furniture pieces for doll houses aren’t just about the aesthetic – they’re also a great way to create new stories and adventures. As the characters within the doll houses decorate their homes with unique pieces, hobbyists start to create distinct personalities for them. Maybe one character is practical in their choices while another prefers extravagant pieces that add flair to the house. In these scenarios, even something as seemingly insignificant as a piece of furniture can add depth to the overall storytelling experience.
When looking to purchase new doll house furniture, there are a few key things to consider. One of the most important things parents and children should remember is to look for pieces that are designed for their specific doll house size. Many furniture pieces – especially those for the Sylvanian Families line of collectables – are made with their own range of doll houses in mind. This means the sizes will match perfectly and figures of that line will be able to use all the accessories without issues. However, there are some rare cases where parents and children may have to compromise – either go for furniture that looks perfect with some minor size issues or find less intricate alternatives.
It’s also important to remember that choosing pieces based on the interests and personality of the character can help a lot with storytelling and the overall enjoyment of the hobby. Some choices may seem arbitrary at first, but as children and collectors add to their doll house furniture collection, they’ll soon realise that each piece starts to carry its own story and bring in new ideas and perspectives to explore within the doll house world.
There’s a lot of furniture to try for a more well-rounded and immersive experience, too. Some of these can be practical additions, while, others are simply fun ways to spruce up the home. Or both.
The Sylvanian Families Country Bathroom Set is one of those homey, comfortable options to go for when children want their characters to enjoy some private time. The set comes with a sink unit, a footed bathtub, and a toilet for a simple bathroom set up.
But those bathroom fixtures aren’t the only things that make the bathroom set so great. The set is topped off with bathroom accessories like a hair dryer, hair brush, and other smaller decorations that bring the bathroom and the stories in it to life. Hobbyists will also notice that the set includes things like a bathmat, bucket, and toilet cleaner for added realism. And that can make telling stories or living them through play a lot more fun and engaging for all.
The Sylvanian Families Crib With Mobile is another excellent piece of furniture for anyone looking to add new ideas for play and storytelling to their collection. The crisp white crib set is made specifically for newborn Sylvanians so collectors can use it as a real crib for figures or as a toy crib for their figures’ dolls. It has a unique design with musical notes and colourful baby animals so it suits a lot of different styles in nursery rooms. The set also includes two fleece blankets to keep baby dolls and characters warm and comfortable.
The Sylvanian Families Sweets Party Set isn’t quite a furniture piece on its own, but it’s a fun way to spruce up an existing set like the Sylvanian kitchen or living room. The set includes tea party snacks like cake stands, biscuits, plates, teapots, chocolate, lollipops, dessert forks, strawberries, sandwiches, cupcakes, and other adorable finger food perfect for an afternoon tea experience. The set also includes two chairs, a sofa, and a dining table so characters can host their own little party right in their home or garden.
Finally, there’s the Sylvanian Families Triple Bunk Beds. These beds are perfect for children with families with three or more children – they can be stacked on top of each other or placed next to each other for custom setups. The set includes three beds and bedding for each so every character has their own place to sleep or relax at the end of a long day.
Doll house furniture is often one of the most underrated parts of collecting and playing, but it’s also one of the most important. Parents and children who choose the right pieces – based on their preferences or their characters’ interests – can be assured that there’s never going to be a single boring day with their favourite collectables.
