Crazy about miniatures? Ideas to decorate your home with simple miniatures

Miniatures, with their beautiful detailing and astonishingly small dimensions, can be used to make a statement.

Making useful and ornamental objects out of household waste rather than tossing it away is the best use for it. Every day, garbage such as coconut shells, old newspapers, glass jars, plastic jars and cardboard boxes are generated at home. All of these items can be turned into beautiful miniatures for your home decoration.

Under the sea

This might be a home for mermaids or sea creatures, a story about the lost civilisation Atlantis or simply a decorating motif of a typical dollhouse. Aquarium care and supply businesses will most likely have numerous items to inspire you for aquarium style decor.

Fairy homes or Gnome

The fairy realm is always enthralling and lovely! Building fairy houses, fairy gardens and fairy scenarios is a lot of fun. Garden gnomes are also a great project to work on.

Tree house

A treehouse, like garden themes or fairy homes, can be its own special location to create in miniature. You may construct the house in a hollowed-out imitation log.

Garden theme

While fairy gardens are certainly an option, how about making a small scene for actual gardening? You might make a rustic potting table and decorate an entire dollhouse with garden-themed flowers and plants.

Music

If you are also a huge fan of music, then it is a great theme to work with. You may have a band rehearsal room, a little recording studio setting or simply make the character who lives in the house a superstar or a professional musician in an orchestra. Recently, some pretty spectacular dollhouses are made from hollowed-out guitars and violins which have become very famous for all miniature lovers.

A time period

Another cool and intriguing theme? Clocks! Many mixed media art assemblages make use of ancient alarm clocks, and you could even design a little scene to fit within an old pocket watch imitation. You could also utilize clocks as a theme in your design or create a residence for a time traveler or inventor working on a time machine.

Inspired by history

Another interesting topic to research for tiny themes is history. It’s always fascinating to look back at how people lived and where they lived, from medieval castles to ancient civilisations.

Check out this list of ideas! Hopefully this list would inspire you to make some interesting dollhouses and miniatures that tell a story.
