How to Style Disney Prints Without Making Your Home Look Like a Gift Shop
Let’s be honest: decorating with Disney can be a bit… slippery. One minute you’re hanging a subtle sketch of Cinderella Castle, and the next, you’re knee-deep in novelty cushions and debating whether a Goofy lamp is “too much.”
At The Magical Print Company, we’re here for the magic, but we’re also here for the aesthetics. Because yes, you can bring the joy of Disney into your home without it looking like you robbed Main Street, U.S.A or a 10 year old's bedroom from the 90's.
Neutrals First, Mickey Second
Our own home is full of warm, neutral tones — think calm creams, soft greys, and the kind of beige that Pinterest dreams are made of. Everything has its place, and that includes the Disney touches. We don’t want to scream “I’m obsessed with Epcot snacks,” we want to whisper it… stylishly.
That’s why we design alot of our prints with just a hint of colour — enough to catch the eye, not punch it. The result? Your walls look curated, not cartoonish, childish and let be honest... tacky.
Frame It Like You Mean It
The fastest way to take a Disney print from “kid’s bedroom” to “interior goals” is a good frame. Keep it simple: white, wood, black, whatever suits your vibe. Floating frames? Chef’s kiss. Just say no to glittery clip frames (unless your house is themed like a 2007 Claire’s Accessories, in which case, live your truth). We love Amazon & Dunelm for frames. They are reasonably priced, good quality and a good selection.
A Dash of Magic, Not the Whole Potion
Think of Disney prints like seasoning. A sprinkle here and there is perfect — just enough to flavour your space. In our home, we’ve got a trio of park treat prints in the kitchen (because snacks are sacred), a classic quote in the hallway, and the full range of the monopoly tile park prints above the sideboard in the dining space which blend in with the neutral tones and adds the slight pop of colour to the room, they all are in their rightful places, no fairy dust overload.
Style It Like a Grown-Up (Who Happens to Love Pluto)
Layer your prints with other elements — textured throws, books, candles, neutral vases. The goal is harmony, not a character parade. A well-styled shelf with a subtle Stitch print? Delightful. A wall of Funko Pops? That’s a different kind of collection (and a whole different vibe).
Disney have curated a gorgeous range of homewares that are all neutral tones, blacks, creams, woods and don the Mickey head but subtly. I have only seen it in the parks and the US Disney store online (it may be available in the UK but I haven't seen it)
Home Is Where the Castle Is (But Make It Chic)
At the end of the day, your space should reflect you — and if that means a minimal home with a quiet wink to Disney magic, you’re in the right place. You don’t need mouse ears on every shelf to prove your love. Sometimes a hand-drawn churro print in the dining room says more than words ever could.
So go ahead, mix your magic with minimalism. We promise, it’s a vibe.
