In part 2 of 'How should I decorate a Dollhouse' we are looking at which dollhouse accessories to use to decorating your hall, your bedrooms, your nursery and the bathroom.

Just look around in your own house. What can you see in your hall, in your bedrooms and bathroom? Imagine how bare your home would look if there were only furniture. Following are some tips on how and which accessories you can use to make these areas of your house look absolutely real.

Dollhouse Accessories for the Hall

Many people decorate the hall with a small table or a chest. Place a small doily and flowers on top them. Put a clothes tree and umbrella stand in the hall and a mirror above the table. A larger pot with flowers can be placed on the floor of the hall. A rug on the floor and pictures on the wall are also important parts of your dollhouse accessories for the hall.

Dollhouse Accessories for the Bedrooms

It's important that you have nice quilts and cushions or pillows on your bed. In the master bedroom you could have a pitcher and bowl on your chest of drawers and a little potty next to your bed. You can place table lamps on the night stands and place a small book on the night stand too.

As in the hall, remember to have rugs on the floor and some pictures on the wall.

Dollhouse Accessories for the Nursery and Children's bedroom

Like in the master bedroom make sure you have nice quilts and pillows on top of the beds or in the cradle or cot. You may want to leave one of the drawers open and let some toys be visible. Place other toys on top of your chests and also on the floor. Other dollhouse accessories you can have in your nursery are a baby sleeping in its cot and small children sitting or standing on the floor. Small bottles and pots of cream can be on top your chest of drawers. Just imagine how your room looked when you were a child. There are many dollhouse accessories to choose from when it comes to decorating children's bedrooms and nurseries.

Dollhouse Accessories for the Bathroom

Besides your bath, basin and toilet you need a shelf on the wall, a toilet paper holder with some toilet paper on the wall, a bathroom cupboard, a towel, Nursery Furniture, rack, a mirror on the wall and possibly a small white table where you can place more miniature items such as bottles of perfume, towels, mortar & pestle or a brush and comb.

The best tip if you run out of ideas, walk around your own home or notice what other people have around their homes.
