I wasn’t a big dollhouse girl growing up, but maybe I just had modern tastes even back then and all of the dollhouses were very traditional. I did have fun tagging along with my mom and sister to the dollhouse store and ogling all the tons of tiny everythings to deck out the houses.
Here’s a roundup of some non-traditional houses that had me all oohing and aahing and wishing I was 7 years old.
Rustic little Travel Trailer dollhouse by Greenleaf Dollhouses.
I would set a person sleeping peacefully in bed, while ferocious wild animals lay in wait outside the walls, but that’s just me.
The Emerson House by Brinca Dada. This one is discontinued, but it is my favorite of their designs, so here it is.
These weird-lookin’ boxes are from the Swedish company Our Children’s Gorilla, available through Huset. Made from cardboard, natural wood fiber board. Eco fact: recycled unbleached materials. The same company makes this A-frame mini dollhouse.
This is the Casa Rosa furnished dollhouse, available at the Euro Toy Shop. Sweet colors!
Hello, slick and modern. This is from another Swedish design company, Playsam. They also make the coolest car toys ever.
Cardboard houses by Kidsonroof at Amazon. Easy to put together and no worries if the kids want to decorate them with all of the art supplies you can’t stop hoarding.
I love this house from Momoll because it’s open and accessible from all sides, plus you can choose your roof color. Here’s some more info. from their website:
Die zerlegbare Puppenstube ist eine moderne Interpretation eines Spielzeugklassikers. Das zeitgenössische Chalet überzeugt durch einladende Einfachheit und Räumlichkeit.
Um, I think that means, check out our awesome dollhouse! Your kids will have fun with roll playing and imagining.
Paris Renfroe designs these fantastic stackable pod houses and furniture. I found it hard to tear myself from his site- the pieces are made to order and are little works of art.
Speaking of art, don’t forget to check out the mini art to deck the walls of your fab new doll house. (Click an image for details).

These are very cool! I really like the aframe and the black and white one although it makes me laugh a little because my imagination went a little crazy imagining the kids that have that one.

Oh my! I had no idea that there were such cool doll houses out there! Too bad my girls are too old for these! I love the first one and the modern one with crates.

AAAh! That’s so funny. It is a pretty severe dollhouse, isn’t it?

I know! It never crossed my mind to buy my daughter a dollhouse when she was younger, and they are such great ways to encourage role play. Weird. I can see how some adults could get really caught up in decorating some of these.
