What Would An Interior Designer Buy From The Disney Store?
I mourn the loss of my local Disney Store, but thankfully there are three within driving distance. And, of course, there’s Shop Disney online.
And, I’ll admit, I’ve often thought about furnishing a Disney room at the ol’ homestead. However, if that happened, I’d be concerned about the result.
But in the hands of an experienced designer…
Welp, Insider.com did just that:
Disney may be known for its magical amusement parks, but the brand also has a few collections of home decor, many of which are available online.
To help narrow down the options, Insider asked Lauren White, owner and principal designer at Ellen W. Interiors, which items she would purchase from Disney’s online store.
From waffle makers to storage cubbies, here are 14 things an interior designer would buy from the Disney Store right now.
Here are my three favs (Disney if you need the addie, hit me up):
This bold red bed frame features Mickey’s famous silhouette made from nail heads
White told Insider she loves this bed frame “because of the bright brilliant color and the tall backboard.”
“It’s the perfect balance for a child to transition into their tween years,” she added.
The set is available in twin, full, and queen sizes. It also comes in white.

You can also get a retro-looking kitchen appliance that makes Mickey Mouse-shaped waffles
White selected the Mickey Mouse waffle maker for its bold red color and fun, old-school exterior.
The waffle maker cooks one 6-inch Mickey Mouse waffle at a time so you can have your very own character breakfast.

You can get a functional, wooden table that looks like Mickey Mouse
This nesting-table set fits in well with any mid-century-modern decor, which is still having a moment right now, according to White.
“Not only is this table set a classic because of the wood finish and color, but it’s functional and can be passed down,” the Philadelphia-based interior designer told Insider.
When pushed together, the table looks like an outline of Mickey Mouse, with the small tables as the ears and the larger table as the face. It comes in a light-wood and dark-wood finish.

I know what you are thinking, “Hafta go with the waffle maker, Sparky…” And I agree. But if money were no object, that set of tables would be mine.
