Princess Themed Furniture

Princess Themed Furniture

Every little girl is a princess in her own way. Some are princesses who reign from pastel pink castles while sitting on an ivory white throne. Other little princesses prefer all the hot pink, hearts, and glitter they can get their hands on. No matter what type of princess you have, she deserves a kingdom that suits her. 

If you are looking to create a princess themed bedroom or playroom for your little girl, we have many beautiful, wooden furnishings available from some of the most popular makers of children’s furniture. The princess collections we carry are designed to make Her Royal Highness feel as though she is in a majestic wonderland. Each of our collections offers stunning, quality pieces that are fit for royalty.

For example, the Guidecraft Princess Collection has all the accessories you need to create an imperial atmosphere in any room. One of our favorite pieces from this collection is the Princess Book Display Case. We all know how important encouraging literacy in kids is; who could resist reading book after book from this lovely, little library? Your daughter will adore Guidecraft’s darling table lamp which features a pink resin castle. And if she is currently potty training, a step stool might be needed. Why not use the Princess Storage Step-Up Stool? She gets to add her own touch to the space and she can store small treasures inside the wooden stool.  All of the items from this collection feature the same motif, making it easy to coordinate.

If you are looking for a collection that is perfect for playing dress-up and living like royalty, check out the KidKraft Princess Collection. She will love gazing at herself in their Princess Cheval Mirror while in her most beautiful gown, and their Princess Dress Up Storage Unit is the perfect place to store that gown between balls. Kidkraft also makes an adorable wooden castle playset complete with a king, queen, prince, and princess dolls for great pretend play. And, of course, the life of a princess cannot end with playtime. For that reason, KidKraft also offers their Princess Toddler Bed and Nightstand Table. Both items are sure to make her feel like the most special girl in the world and give her sweet dreams.

Perhaps your child has a bit of a modern flair—she prefers a bolder pink and cannot resist a royal purple. For this little princess, the Levels of Discovery Always a Princess Collection is ideal. These designs are fun, bold, and bright—just like your little girl, right? One of our favorite items is the Princess Toy Box Bench. It comes with a padded seat cushion so Her Highness can sit comfortably and her treasures can be stored beneath the seat.

Another fantastic item Levels of Discovery offers is the Princess Vanity Table and Chair Set. We wish we had one of our own to get ready at each day—just the way to start the day off right! Their Kiddie Ups Princess Rocking Horse provides the perfect steed to ride on throughout her kingdom. And what princess could live without a fainting couch? Each of the furnishings in this collection are hand-painted, making them all the more special.

Guidecraft Dress-up Storage Solutions

Guidecraft Dress-up Storage Solutions

As a child, I enjoyed dressing up for pretend play. I inherited the costumes, and I treasured them as some of my most beloved possessions. I can remember being excited to come home from school where I would find my dolls waiting to have a tea party with me. For me, this type of play was pure magic.

When my daughter was born, I was incredibly excited to share this type of play with her. Whenever I found an interesting dress or costume, I picked it up and added it to her collection of dress-up clothes. Sometimes, I even picked up something for myself so I could join in on the fun. All of these items—her dresses, my dresses, jewelry, fairy wings, feather boas, and more—were stored in a storage container under her bed. The storage container did its job, but there was nothing special or whimsical about it. Plus, the clothes always came out wrinkled and the jewelry tangled.

When I first came across some of Guidecraft’s dress-up storage solutions for children, I was instantly taken back to my childhood, and wished I owned something like their dress-up centers when my daughter was little. Their storage solutions feel like something a movie star would own and easily make dress-up time for kids all the more magical.

The Guidecraft Dress-up Storage Center is just one of their products that helps you keep all of your children’s  pretend play costumes organized. It provides a bar to hang all of your child’s special clothes on and helps avoid wrinkling. The upper storage area is the perfect place for larger accessories while the fabric bins provide a space to organize the smaller items, including jewelry cases and shoes. It even comes with a child-safe mirror for your little one to admire him or herself in. The chocolate version is well suited to a more neutral décor and for those who want to continue to use the item even after their child outgrows the dress-up stage. The white dress-up storage center is perfect if you are trying to complement a princess theme.

The Guidecraft Dress-up Carousel is whimsical enough that it can get any little one excited about dramatic play. In fact, I kind of want one for myself right now. Perfect for smaller spaces, this wooden storage solution spins to allow maximum storage in minimal space. Despite its small footprint, it has everything your little one needs—from jewelry storage, to hanging storage to mirrors. The natural finish easily blends into any bedroom or playroom and is gender neutral, making it perfect for boys or girls. If your little one is a true princess, the pastel version will work well for her.

If you are looking for something that keeps everything clearly visible, yet still organized, the Gudecraft See and Store Dress-up Center is for you. Made from solid wood, this storage center offers open shelving as well as hanging storage to keep all pretend play items organized and accessible. The version in a natural finish is gender neutral and suitable for most décor. The pastel version works well for little girls who simply cannot resist the color pink.
