How to Decorate Your Home with Studio Ghibli: A Room-by-Room Guide

Studio Ghibli merchandise, when chosen carefully, can form the basis of genuinely beautiful home decoration. The key is curation: selecting pieces that work together and with your existing space, rather than filling every surface. This room-by-room guide will help you bring Ghibli warmth into your home without overwhelming it.

The Living Room: Statement Pieces and Focal Points

The living room calls for pieces that reward attention from a distance. Consider:

• A framed puzzle: A completed 1000-piece official poster puzzle in our Ghibli puzzle collection, framed and hung, functions as genuine wall art. The Spirited Away or Princess Mononoke poster puzzles are particularly striking.
• A noren as a room divider: Hung between the living room and another space, a Totoro or Spirited Away noren from our Ghibli home decoration collection adds warmth and colour without closing off the space.
• Takara Tomy diecast models on a shelf: A curated row of Takara Tomy metal models from our Ghibli miniature collection alongside artbooks from our Ghibli books collection creates a sophisticated collector's display.

The Kitchen: Functional Ghibli

The kitchen is the ideal place for functional Ghibli items that combine practicality with character.

• Kiki's Delivery Service frying pan and plates set
• Ponyo bowl and bento bags
• Totoro food storage box set
• Ghibli bento bags from our Ghibli eat and drink collection
• A Totoro noren hung across the kitchen doorway

The Bedroom: Soft Ghibli Comfort

Bedrooms benefit from softer, more intimate Ghibli touches:

• A Chu Totoro Pillow Plush on the bed
• Totoro or Kiki bedroom socks for cold mornings
• An artbook on the bedside table
• A Ghibli music box playing softly before sleep, from our Ghibli music box collection

The Desk and Workspace

A desk is where Ghibli accessories and craft pieces shine. Recommendations include:

• A Ghibli Jetstream pen and matching notebook from our Ghibli stationery collection
• A completed Miniatuart kit as a desk sculpture
• A Totoro or No-Face pin badge on a desk plant pot or notebook

Children's Rooms

For a child's room, the Totoro plush, a 108-piece puzzle on the wall and a Totoro noren at the door creates a complete forest spirit environment that will delight any young Ghibli fan.
