Every child’s room needs a sweet spot for books, treasures, and display-worthy décor—and the Pottery Barn Kids Dollhouse Bookcase is just the ticket. With its charming roofline and functional shelving, it’s as practical as it is pretty. But want to know how to make it truly one-of-a-kind? Add a touch of wallpaper magic from Little Abodes Interiors!
Whether you're creating a dreamy dollhouse effect or simply want to elevate your storage, this easy DIY hack is a total game-changer. Here's how to do it...
✨ The Dollhouse Bookcase Wallpaper Hack
Step 1:
Start with the Dollhouse Bookcase from Pottery Barn Kids. It arrives flat-packed, making it the perfect canvas for customisation before assembly.
Step 2:
Pick your favourite Little Abodes Interiors wallpaper—whether it’s a sweet floral, whimsical woodland, or soft pastel abstract—and grab 3 A3-sized panels (one for each back shelf).
→ Peel, stick, smooth, and trim. That’s it!
Pro tip: The bookcase comes disassembled, so adding wallpaper is super simple before you put it all together.
Step 3:
Assemble your dollhouse. It’s surprisingly easy—my husband even commented on the great quality and fuss-free setup!
Step 4:
Time to style! Make those shelves shine with your fave bits and bobs.
🌿 Shelf Styling Tips
-
Keep it light—don’t over-style!
-
Group in ones or threes for visual balance.
-
Display cute books face-forward for colour and charm.
-
Use the drawers to stash away clutter (genius, right?).
-
Add Pottery Barn baskets for even more hidden storage.
-
Always, always add a faux plant or a bunch of blooms.
-
🔒 Safety First
Don’t forget to secure the bookcase to the wall—especially in a child’s room. As gorgeous as it looks, safety always comes first.
