Quick answer

The PlanSpace Gathering Flat with Sunroom is a modular dollhouse room that combines a cozy interior with a garden sunroom. Set it up in about 10 minutes by arranging the included furniture and accessories, then enhance play by adding doll figures and connecting it to other PlanSpace sets.

What's in the Box

The PlanSpace Gathering Flat with Sunroom includes a standing lamp, a couch, a garden with 3 removable pots, a watering can, a shelving unit, a rug, a coffee table, 2 side tables, and multiple books. All pieces are made from sustainable rubberwood and finished with water-based dyes, consistent with PlanToys' eco-friendly approach. The set does not include doll figures or a dollhouse structure—those are sold separately.

How to Arrange the Furniture

Start by placing the rug as a visual anchor for the living area. Position the couch facing the coffee table, with the standing lamp beside it for a reading nook. Use the shelving unit as a room divider between the main room and the sunroom. In the sunroom area, arrange the garden pots and watering can on the side tables. The modular design lets you reconfigure the layout easily, so let your child experiment with different arrangements.

Adding Doll Figures for Richer Play

Doll figures bring the flat to life. The Dad Dollhouse Figure (medium skin tone) and Boy Dollhouse Figure (dark skin tone) are both 1:12 scale and compatible with PlanToys dollhouses. Their wire arms and legs can be shaped to sit on the couch or water the garden. Since the flat does not come with figures, purchasing at least one figure helps children create stories and role-play daily routines.

Expanding with Other PlanSpace Sets

The Gathering Flat is part of the PlanSpace modular system, so you can connect it with other PlanSpace rooms to build a larger dollhouse. This flexibility allows children to expand their pretend-play world over time. When buying additional sets, check that they are PlanSpace compatible—most PlanToys dollhouse rooms use the same connection system.

Step-by-Step Setup Guide

  1. Unbox and inspect all pieces: Lay out the furniture, garden pots, books, and accessories. Check that no pieces are damaged and that the removable pots fit snugly in the garden base. Common mistake: missing small items like books. Count the pieces against the included list to avoid losing them.
  2. Arrange the main living area: Place the rug on a flat surface, then position the couch facing the coffee table. Set the standing lamp beside the couch and the shelving unit nearby. Add the side tables with books for a cozy reading corner. Checkpoint: ensure the couch and coffee table are at a comfortable distance so doll figures can 'sit' and 'reach' the table.
  3. Set up the sunroom garden: Place the garden base in the sunroom area. Insert the 3 removable pots and arrange the watering can on a side table. This area works best near a window or edge of the play space to mimic a real sunroom. Common mistake: overfilling the garden area with furniture. Keep the sunroom open so children can easily water the plants.
  4. Add doll figures and start playing: Shape the wire arms and legs of the Dad and Boy figures to sit on the couch or stand by the garden. Encourage your child to create stories, such as reading books or watering plants together. Checkpoint: if figures don't stand steadily, adjust the wire legs to a wider stance. This improves stability during play.
