We do not advocate factory dust collectors, but want to encourage you to get literally a couple of similar toys for children and adults.
Both before and now it’s hard to imagine without soft toys. The most interesting thing is that we are more often guided by our own taste, buying this or that bear or doll, seeing how beautiful they will look on the shelves in the nursery. And then he is sincerely upset when the child tears them or breaks them during the game. You shouldn’t torment your child by giving him a toy from which you need to blow away dust particles, but you shouldn’t play actively, the way he wants. It’s better to buy toys for the rest of the rooms, the safety of which you can easily control.
Most of these animals made of fabric, felt, and fur are sewn by hand. They are also hand-painted, embroidered, and decorated with various decorations. In order to do DIY interior toys, you need to have not only the skills to hold a needle and thread in your hands, but also have artistic imagination, the ability to create not only a form for a toy, but also content.

always involves the creation of a large number of places where ready-made animals can be resettled. One such great place is a bookshelf or any bookcase. In addition to the fact that the toy animal will look very representative against the backdrop of the elegant covers of thick tomes, it can also be cleaned simultaneously with cleaning the books (as we know, a large amount of dust always accumulates there).
Another place that definitely needs to be used is the bedside tables. In such prominent places, it is better to place those pets that evoke the most positive emotions in you, so that when you wake up in the morning and looking at them, your mood will instantly lift.
The inhabitants of the kitchen shelves will help you get ready for work. There are special models of decorative figurines that are placed on shelves so that they look down at you.
Every element that you use in your home affects the creation of the interior and its direction. It is very important to choose such details, as they not only create a pleasant style, but also add coziness, make the house “livable”, and decorate bare walls and furniture. Nowadays, interior toys, which are classified as handmade products, are used to decorate the home. Such designer products are quite expensive, but they are unique in appearance and have an attractive design. Please note that most of them are created entirely from natural materials, which makes them safe to use. Let's consider the features of choosing interior toys for different styles, what to look for when purchasing, what affects the quality of the product.
Choosing a toy for different interiors
Depending on which style is chosen, you need to determine the appearance of the interior toy. The room for which it is chosen also affects. So, consider the following rules when choosing:
- If the room is made in a country style, then small toys that are made in the shape of animals will fit perfectly, best of all if they are pets. A toy cow, duck, or rooster will fit perfectly into a rustic style. It will only emphasize the direction;
- For more modern styles, for example, minimalism or hi-tech, toys are usually not used to create the interior. But there are models that are perfect. For example, it could be a black or white toy with clear geometric shapes;
- For the Japanese style, interior toys should be made in light colors; products that look like origami are perfect. You can also order a toy that will depict sakura branches.
Choosing an interior toy for different rooms
Each room requires its own toy for decoration, remember the following selection rules:
- For small rooms, the number of toys should not be too many; you should not choose too large models. Compact toys that can be hung on the wall are best;
- If an interior toy is chosen for a bedroom or nursery, then it should be made of natural materials;
- The color of the toy in the living room may be brighter than the decoration. This will be a kind of accent in the interior of the room;
- You can also use toys in the hallway or corridor; they should be small and understandable.
Previously, in the “Repair” section and the “” subsection, we wrote the article “Decorate an empty wall creatively! " and "Decorating a blank wall" and made one unforgivable mistake, which, fortunately, is easy to correct. Among the ways you can decorate the walls of your home, we missed an interesting, but very beautiful way - interior toy - to decorate the house. Accordingly, in this article we will talk in detail about the interior toy, and also see how it can decorate the house.
An interior toy - it has been used to decorate a house for a long time. Unlike an ordinary toy, an interior toy is a multifunctional toy. That is, an ordinary toy is intended to be played with. And in the intervals between games it lies around anywhere. An interior toy can
- a) and be the object of games,
- b) and decorate the house.
The question may arise: “Why, strictly speaking, bother? If you hang any toy on the wall, you have an interior toy.” Yes, but not so. The interior toy has a number of features that make it truly interior-friendly:
- The most important feature is the increased aesthetics of the interior toy.
- Further, an interior toy is created in advance for the purpose of decorating the house.
- And thirdly, the interior toy has its own style.
A little more detail: the increased aesthetics of an interior toy is achieved by the quality of its manufacture, as well as by using more expensive materials than if it were made from a regular toy.
The second point is also important - after all, if you calculate in advance, then the mood will be selected accordingly. This means that the interior toy will be in its place. You've probably come across interior toys that look like crap. Most likely, they were created for a different purpose.
The third point is that the style of an interior toy is very specific: another name for an interior toy is a primitive toy. That is, this toy, unlike Barbie, is distinguished by a minimum of details and maximum harmony. In particular, because of this, an interior toy is able to decorate the house and not frighten guests.
Another name for interior toys is Tildov toys; tildyks are primitive soft toys, i.e. simple patterns, easy to make. But so nice and lovely. The author of books about Tilda toys is an artist and decorator from Norway - Tone Finnanger, who was one of the first to remember well-forgotten old interior toys.
Doll in the interior
A doll as a piece of furniture is not uncommon these days. This is due to the fact that such a toy can fit very harmoniously and effectively into any environment. The doll creates an atmosphere of warmth and comfort in any home.
Decorative elements can be chosen completely different. The main thing is that they fit harmoniously into the interior. Handmade dolls are becoming the most popular in this regard. A toy is valued not only for its appearance, but also for its character. An author's item is always endowed with a special style and special magic.
Today, a handmade doll can be made of fine porcelain, sewn from textiles, or crocheted or knitted. The material is absolutely not important, but what is important is the soul with which the author creates his creations. But your perception of the doll also becomes important. The interior should be decorated only with things that you really like, and which will subsequently become an integral part of your life. A designer doll can be endowed with the features of a person you care about.

This type of work is called a portrait doll. It consists of individually creating a toy from a photograph of a person. The doll can be completely similar to your relative or close friend, or have certain features unique to him. The materials and decorative elements of such a toy are limited only by the author’s imagination.
Porcelain dolls are considered the most realistic. The task of creating them is to convey the most believable image with a piercing gaze and lively facial expressions. Therefore, among designer dolls it is almost impossible to find a toy with a fake smile or with perfectly correct facial features.
In the modern world, naturalness is valued. Most often, such a creation conveys mood, emotions and even experiences. A porcelain doll will become an integral part of your interior. In order for a doll to become not just a decoration, but a real member of the family, the keeper of the hearth, you need to choose it based on your inner feelings.

And if in such a character, in addition, you discern traits dear to the person’s heart, then he will become priceless to you.
