The 5 Best Cottage Dollhouse Kits: Bringing 'Small' To A Whole New Level Of Adorable!

Have you ever noticed these oh-so-cozy cottage dollhouse kits? If you have, you will know how adorable and cute these are, no?

The other day, I was clicking around on my favorite platform for miniatures on Etsy, and my wallet was calling me again to say: "STOP BUYING STUFF ONLINE, LIZZY!"

Anyway, that is a scream that I tend to ignore sadly haha!

So today, I am taking you into the world of cottage dollhouse kits, let's go!

As an Etsy and Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases, with no extra charges for you.

But first: What is so typical about the Cottage style?

The cottage style, you might say, belongs to the "common" people (no no, you are not common lol ), and refers to a home decor and architectural design that represents a cozy, charming, and rustic feel.

It draws inspiration from the quaint cottages found in the countryside or by the sea.

The cottage style has a relaxed and inviting atmosphere, often featuring elements such as:

1. Natural Materials: The cottage style embraces the use of natural materials like wood, natural stones, and even straw and even loam to create a warm and organic ambiance.
2. Soft Colors: Soft, muted, and some pastel colors dominate the cottage color palette, creating a light and airy feel.
   Shades of whites, creams, blues, and greens are commonly seen.
   This also translates into the use of cozy colored textiles, created with cotton, linen, or chenille.
3. Vintage and Distressed Furnishings: Furniture pieces in cottage style often have a vintage or weathered look.
   Distressed finishes and antique items contribute to the nostalgic and lived-in feel.
   Accents like wicker baskets and porcelain teapots also add character to the cottage style.
4. Floral Prints: Floral patterns on wallpaper, upholstery, or curtains, are a signature element of cottage style.
   They add a touch of whimsy and bring the beauty of nature indoors.
5. Open and Welcoming Spaces: Cottage-style homes often feature open floor plans that encourage a warm and welcoming environment.

The best cottage dollhouse kits on the market.

On Amazon and such, I can't really find a "cottage"-style dollhouse kit, in my opinion (besides a few from Greenleaf).

Not what I personally consider to be in this style anyway, even though the sellers place that tag on their product.

So of to Etsy it is, and this is the result:

( mind you: lots of these are on a very tiny scale)

1. Kammyscreations.

Do you remember Kammy from California? I had the honor of working with her some time ago, where she explained some more about her miniature journey, her work, and all the miniatures that she creates.

As for cottage dollhouse kits, she has 1 tiny one, which can be bought as a kit, but also totally painted and finished.

There is also a cute little wooden cottage dollhouse decor, which is laser cut and painted and suitable as wall decor.

Hours to Make	none, if you choose the assembled and painted house, My estimate to assemble would be half an hour only, the painting and decoration would depend on your skills and the time you want to spend on it.
