Dollhouse Decorating – Definitely Out Of The Box



Twenty London architects built these miniature houses to be auctioned for the benefit of KIDS, a British charity that provides support to children with disabilities. Each of the designers incorporated an element that would make life easier for a disabled child.

Besides the worthy cause involved in this project, these miniatures are one example of how diverse the dollhouse universe is today. Wonderful!

Dollhouse Decorating – Space Saving


As an interior design specializing in small-space living, I am constantly researching how other designers handle challenges. A Chicago designer, Marshall Erb, has a wonderful way of handling space, which is so applicable to dollhouse miniatures.
Look at all the elements in the picture of a dining room table set in an alcove, and picture how you could utilize this idea in a miniature. It's a clean way of using more elements without the room looking cluttered. That's so important for modern miniatures.
Click on the picture to open Marshall's homepage, then click on his portfolio tab. It offers so many ideas for modern dollhouse decorating.

Dollhouse Decorating - Paris Renfroe Miniatures

Paris Renfroe was a successful designer of residential and commercial space in San Francisco when he indulged a life-long love by creating 1:12 scale miniatures of his full-sized designs. This picture of his Red Strut Dining Table is a great example. Click on the link below to Paris' online shop. After you have looked at all his great miniatures, look for the link to his Design Website in the upper-right corner of the Home page, to get an idea of how his ideas go from the real world to our wonderful fantasy land.
Love it!
