No matter how big you are, you can shrink to fit into a dream world, and no matter how small you are, you can rise to the occasion. Alice and the rest of the cast help each of us draw out our inner child.
When you indulge in reading the Alice in Wonderland books, you get to be a child again. For us adults, revisiting the magic of the Mad Hatter, the Cheshire Cat, the hookah-smoking Caterpillar, and all the other cast of characters is as easy as sprinkling some of their magic into our home decor.

Bringing the Magic of Alice in Wonderland into Your Home: Mad Hatter Art and More
While you can do what everyone else does and decorate with Alice in Wonderland wall art, themed mugs, and novelty tea trays, why not go all out?
Here are decorative ideas to add a truly magical flair to your home.
Mismatched vintage furniture
Incorporate mismatched vintage chairs and tables of varying sizes and styles. A bright pink velvet chair, a fantastical flower printed ottoman, and lets not forget a low victorian shaped sofa. Then, opt for a long, low table for the centrepiece, reminiscent of the Mad Hatter's tea party.
Fantasy lighting and soft furnishings
Use fairy lights, lanterns, or unique, antique lamps to give off a soft, whimsical glow. Consider lampshades that cast playful shadows or shapes. Throw around a few plush, velvety cushions and throw blankets in rich colours and patterns. Keep the tones the same, but play with pattern and colour.
For extra special occasions, you can also set the mood with the soft warm glow of one of our Mad Hatter candles. Perfectly scented with smokey vanilla.
