I just moved into a new house today! Yeah! My question for you all is: how do you bring a hint of Disney flare/love to your home decor all year long without being too over the top?
My house is Peter pan inspired.. So one room has green accents with brown to represent the treehouse, my kitchen is painted robins egg blue and has mermaid art/tile for mermaid lagoon, dining room has a ships wheel chandelier and pirate accents for captain hooks ship, etc - justcallmeKP

Sounds amazing and perfectly subtle! - cynDOLEwhip 744.1 #137 11:55AM
Can I move in with you?!? - AvidDisneyThrifter220 850.9 #107 1:00PM
If you are wanting to be subtle, focus on color schemes, rather than Disney items/art. For instance, if you wanted an Up-inspired bedroom, paint the walls light blue, buy a light blue comforter, and use bright, multicolored pillows for pops of color! Maybe place a few figurines on the night stand. So fun! Happy decorating and congrats! - Spoonful_O_Sugar

If you love it flaunt it. We have Disney memorabilia all over the the house. Posters, pictures, furniture you name it. Remember Disneyland is your land. - splashphotoCM

Congratulations on your new home! We have items all over the house but no rooms actually completely decorated in a Disney theme. NOT that I don't WANT to! - melissa_ficent

Congrats on your new home!! I try not to overdo it, but I have dish towel with Mickey Ears on it, and a Mickey Ears wine stopper, so it's not super in your face but is still Disney. I also got some really cool posters (haunted mansion portraits, monorail poster) that I've hung up that are really neat - LaurenNCait

Coffee table books featuring DL or films. Maybe a collage of photos taken from DL on a wall. The classic vintage attraction posters are nice too. Have a Hawaiian/tiki inspired/color-themed bathroom with matching pineapple soap dispenser and toothbrush holder. Have portraits of Jose and friends on the walls, along with a menu from Trader SAMs or the recipe for a dole whip. Have a figuirine of Belle and beast reading where you keep your books and a artificial rose under a glass case. Throw in some of those cute Mickey kitchen accessories. Buy vinyl letters that spell out subtle Disney quotes or images (like "Be our Guest" over your dining area). Get a vintage mirror for the bathroom a la Snow White and find all apple themed/colored accessories. Buy seven little toothbrushes and frame them in a shadow box type frame, writing the name of each dwarf on the handles. - Polkadobo

I love this! We are getting the keys to our 1st home home in a few weeks. I already plan to do a Jungle Cruise theme for my kids bathroom. - UncoolBunny 70.9 #3392 12:01PM

I suggest a family photo taken in front of the castle 8x10 framed and hung in a prominent location. Very suttle. - grumpypapa

Disneyland sells kitchen items and target sells bathroom toiletries. Try decorating a room with Disney. Good luck on your decorative journey and congrats on your new home! - elmickeyman

I have a studio apartment (sitting in one corner, I can throw a rock to every other corner... maybe even a feather...) so decorating Disney was really easy. I have a cork board with all my pins, countless pictures, several of my homemade Disney canvas collages, another pretty board that has my professional (bought from Disney) pictures, and then all of my vinyls are on a bookshelf staring out at the room, haha. I love it! - KylaShea

I started with a spare bedroom as my Disney collectable room. That has grown to a Pinocchio family room, apt over the garage and starting another spare room. There's nothing subtle about me!! - sewgirl

We have Disney frames all over, our ears displayed in the office. We are remodeling our daughters room to disneyland themed. Blue and white (colors that's you find in NOS). Disney picture frames, framed DL map puzzle, focal point is a Maggie Parr painting of the Partners Statue. We are finishing it off with a fiber optic star ceiling like you find in the dream suite. - Fanatic4Disney

One room has our wedding ears from our honeymoon to disneyworld. Then we have the customizable maps on the wall. In the living room we have photos and frames of our trips to disney. Also some kitchen Mickey items since it is red and black. Our bedroom has our pins stuck in the wall. Also have a framed painting of our last name with Disney characters :) all of the ideas are great! - mouselaw1076

I'm turning my Dining Room into a Disney room. My collectibles are displayed, several Disney art pieces, my teacup/teapot collection (Alice themed). I have one wall where I have hung a very large vintage frame and inside the frame are 4x6 framed pics of our Disney visits through the years. - Gia

Some great ideas here! I think it's pretty hard to go over the top! We havn't found that point yet! - Stumickey
289.1 #673 12:27PM
I say go for it! Always having your favorite Disney items in view will make you happy. We have a Haunted Mansion themed family room (with the framed changing portrait of the girl / jaguar in the living room)... we have a sculpture of the mansion, the hitch hiking ghosts above our tv, framed ride poster and various watercolor portraits of the mansion. We also have the six-foot framed stretching portraits that take up a whole wall. It's the closest thing we can get to being on our favorite ride and it makes me happy every day 😃 - Nala

Before we decided to lay wood through the house, we were contemplating having a mosaic put into our entry way. I loved the look of the sun from Rapunzel. It was subtle and a Disney touch that wasn't over the top. I had enough tile in my old house we decided to scrap the idea. The one "blatantly" Disney thing we have (downstairs) is our Thomas Kinkade Cinderella painting. Otherwise we keep all our Disney stuff upstairs - CaliCanuck

I've got a few kitchen things but the living room is our Disney room...with pictures on the wall and a curio cabinet where my treasures are. - cdeley

357.6 #396 8:06AM
Misread and thought you had a churro cabinet. Now that would be cool - Villescas8(V8) 589.1 #185 8:10AM
I put little accents in my kitchen and bathroom... and there are pictures hanging in the bedroom and living room. I wish I could have an entire Disney house! Someday.... - MinnieGrl515

We have some artistic posters that are framed. We like angry Donald. - Princess Daisy
156.7 #2198 8:17AM
We painted the kitchen/family room in a light yellow & the half bath off the family room in a bright Mickey red. The hallway going into the bathroom is going to have Mickey comic news paper as well as 2 walls in the bathroom. I just bought the Mickey "butt" cookie jar, 2 coffee mugs trivet & 2 Minnie "butt" coffee mugs. We also have the Mickey chip service dish. Not over done. - Tweedle_Deedee
