Homes for BJDs?

I do permanent dioramas on shelving build just for my dolls. For the ones who don't have permanent bedrooms, they hang out on the doll couch.

 

Mine sit on an old chair from the late 1800's in my living room. I'm not super comfortable with humans sitting on it (except me, but even then it's because I know if I break it, I'll only have myself to be angry at).
The dolls look beautiful on it and it's a great means of display.

 

I like using my shelf and getting furniture and such for them. I'm going to have yoSDs so they fit perfectly on my bookshelf even standing up! : D

 

Mine typically hang out with my books, either on or near them. I do have a small section of my desk that has all the assesories i've collected in a nice looking display, but they rarely hang out there as my desk is usually full of projects. XD

 

All my human/elf dolls are 62cm or taller, so that limits my options a bit. I recently got new furniture for my room, so I made sure to take them into consideration when doing so and had a cabinet made especially for them. It has three levels, a glass door and little windows on one side so I can see them from both the entrance of my room or the inside of it, and it faces away from the window so they're not under direct sunlight ever. It's really nice, but the downside is there's no room to make it any bigger, so that limits how much my collection can grow.

 

mine sit on a row of chairs - not ideal but I have to keep them in the one place the sun doesn't get to them. I love the idea now of getting a playhouse for them as they're all big dolls - thanks for giving me the idea!

 

On my bed, my headboard has these tiny bookshelves. They don't fit hardback or normal paperback books.. maybe those teeny tiny romance novels.. but anywho, I use the bottom shelf to put small stuffed animals and made the top shelf into a bed of sorts for her.

 

mine is on a shelf right now but i want to have a diorama type set up for her eventually

 

Mine are in their boxes as well, but I'm wanting to buy a Detolf or other similar display cabinet. My room has a lot of natural light 24/7, though, so I don't know what to do about that DX.

 

I had a big dolls house in the 90s that was similar to that, I wish I still had mine. I bet they'll look really good in it.

I display mine on a small ikea picture shelf in my living room. They were in my bedroom and I was thinking about converting my bookcase into a home for them but I don't get to spend much time in my bedroom and I missed them

 

In the past, mine had a doubled-up set of open shelving that was tall enough to give them space to have little "environments;" this was after they outgrew the doubled-up bookshelves I had been using for them (I omitted the back piece from one to give them more space, but that made it a bit unstable). Currently, they're stuck in their boxes pending the construction of dedicated room boxes to take the place of the previous shelving, at which point I'll basically have a giant dollhouse forming along one wall.

 

I bought a big television table several years back, just when the transition from tube TVs to flatscreens was really beginning. It's a wide, deep table, and I have a bunch of chairs set up on it for my SDs. More of them are sitting on another smaller TV cabinet (nice storage underneath!) and the rest of the SDs are on a long, low table/cabinet/shelf thing that's probably 45 years old or more. ^^; Not proper rooms, certainly, but at least everyone has a chair and there are chairs to spare for company. I move dolls around when I need one of the tables for photos and want to set up a room. ^^;

My MSDs are living in a relatively deep bookshelf. I need to decorate it.

I want to make some nice folding room backdrops for my SDs, for photos, unless I can make some sort of doll house for them in a corner.

 

I can say that I don't have room to display all of my dolls, but the dolls that are displayed sit atop a mid-sized drawer on bench garden planters (bought from Prier 1) that I changed to become an actual dolly sized bench and chair.

 

Oh, I am so glad not to be the only one. I have shelves up with room settings --and most of my dolls are SD's. So far there are 10 bedrooms, 2 living rooms, a mid century modern kitchen, a dining room, and a roof terrace. Now I am out of space for more.

 

That sounds so amazing! I have nine bedrooms, a mini bar area and a couch, which is still really pushing it for such a small bedroom. They're all SD rooms as well, though my smaller dolls do have a bench in the bar.

 

That's so cute! I currently keep the majority of my dolls on bookshelves or on a desk with shelves I use for display. The desk also has a space where I built a little diorama for photos.

 

I have displays for my dolls set up wherever I have the space: on top of an antique dresser, on a shelf, on top of a roll top desk, in an old tv cabinet from back in the day, on a table next to my bed…basically anywhere with enough room to artistically create a space that helps me tell their story. I’ve found it to be a lovely way to decorate my small home, by filling it with fascinating things that are lovely to look at and constantly make me happy.

 

Mostly they are on shelves. Some are sitting on doll furniture, and some are on the foot of my bed sitting in a row.

I do like to set up places for them when I take pictures. I set it up more like a studio. I use personal backdrops and they have their own living room set ups and trinkets for their living space, a few have bedrooms as well. But everything gets put away when I am done with it. A lot of my dolls are in the 60-75 range and I would need them to have their own room if I wanted a full time diorama for them to live in.

I am fine with them being shelved between pictures, as long as I can see them all I am happy. They are like my little tiny roommates. I enjoy looking at all of them throughout the day. I am just content to be surrounded by all of them.

 

After many years of dreaming, I got a pair of cabinets with opaque doors I turned into a dollhouse for my minies and tinies. One of my large dolls is on his own on a shelf. I hope one day to finally pull another one of my large dolls out of storage to hang out on the same shelf.

 

I have three dioramas that I'll occasionally put dolls in, but mostly they sit on the shelves of my desk. At least at the moment they do. Some times I shift things around since my space is so limited in my work/doll room, but they're always visible.

 

I have very little space in my apartment, so in their boxes they stay. Sometimes I will being them out and just keep them away from windows.

 

Mine live in the walk in closet, safe from the sun and my cat!

 

My Baby Kumako is on a chaise that I originally got for my Asella girls, but it was getting crowded with four dolls sitting on it. They're just standing on their own shelf now, but they get a pretty backdrop at least. My Momonita shares a shelf with my Baby Kumako, although I would eventually like to make her a little room since she's a great size for dioramas.

 

This was my setup for a long time, too. Cats: they can't be trusted!

I now have a glass door display case in my living room, out of the sun, where my doll lives. There's a bunch of other junk in the case though, and I need to adjust the shelves so she can actually sit in a chair without bonking her head, and also hook up the light... One of the many things on my long to-do list

 

I used to display my Barbies and Monster High dolls on my bookshelves wherever there was space. Now they reside in drawers because I don't have space anymore. Ugh...
