Growing Your Collection: How to Choose Your Dollhouse Kit
Doll house kits are an excellent way to begin or even grow your existing doll collections. They offer a wide variety of houses to choose from, and some even come with furniture and accessories to match your first home.
In choosing your doll house kit, it is important to note who you are buying it for. Is it for an adult collector? Or is it for a child, as a start of her collection, or simply a toy? Knowing who you are buying it for will help you decide which doll houses to choose.
Doll house kits are either made of wood or plastic, and come in a variety of models. Plastic doll houses are cheaper and more durable, which makes them ideal for very young children who will most likely think of them as playthings rather than investments. Most come with basic accessories, but furniture and dolls are usually sold as separate sets. But while plastic doll houses are easier to assemble and come in different sizes, they are also not fully customizable. The colors are pre-fabricated with the plastic, and the range of furniture and accessories are pretty limited.
Adult doll house kits, on the other hand, are made of wood and are a bit more complex. Although not as durable, they are more detailed and are a bit harder to assemble. They come in a variety of house types and are, in fact, often scaled down replicas of real houses. Indeed, putting together wooden house dolls is part of the fun, as you can build and design it as you would a real house!
Since they are extremely customizable, adult doll house kits also come with a wide array of accessories to suit your personal style. Most doll house kits come with just a house, but there are several starter kits that come with their own set of accessories and bespaq furniture. Starter doll house kits are ideal for someone who is just starting their own collection, giving them adequate direction on how to furnish their first doll house.
Building a doll house does present certain challenges of its own. The more intricate doll house kits take some time and tools to assemble, and are usually more expensive, so keep this in mind when choosing your doll house. There are several, basic, inexpensive wood kits that are available but require more accessories and time to spruce up. While a seasoned collector may love the thought of starting from a clean slate, the beginner may find it a bit overwhelming.
You should also consider the scale of the doll house kit before making a purchase. Before buying something, ask yourself if this is something that the owner will play with, or will keep on display. The more expensive doll house kits are sealed to keep out dust, so it is easier to clean and maintain. If it is meant to be placed on display for years on end, ask if there is adequate space in your house to set it up. Bear in mind that the size of the collection may grow in time, so make allowances for future expansions.
Choosing the right doll house kit is always an exciting experience. Not only is finding the right one for you fun, but it is also a wise investment.
