“For a house to be successful, the objects in it must communicate with one another, respond and balance one another.” – Andrée Putman

Perhaps of all the things in our houses; the paintings, vases, photographs, lampshades and even the flowers, cushions and curtains all show our choices and preferences. They speak of who we are and what we hold most dear. When you come to start adding these items to your miniature home you may find yourself either emulating your real home or perhaps taking a different road. Either way, enjoy the process, it’s all about you respecting your choices. The possibilities are endless with some of the finest miniatures being made in these fields. In a way everything about a dollshouse is an ornament to our real world.

Our Mini-Guide on ORNAMENT will help you add “colour” and “flavour” to your miniature home.

“If you want to change the world, start off by making your bed.” – William H. McRaven

It’s always intrigued me that if you are told to either “sit up” or “sit down” you always end up in the same position. Either way you are always going to need a chair, and what’s a chair without a table and a few more chairs, oh and a sofa and a stool and before you know it .. cupboards, kitchen units, dressers and in the end … we all need that most essential throne of all in the bathroom.

Our Mini-Guide on FURNISH will help you find everything you need to sit, store, stow, shelve and sculpt those empty rooms into the model miniature home.

“We require from buildings two kinds of goodness: first, the doing their practical duty well: then that they be graceful and pleasing in doing it.” – John Ruskin

Choosing a miniature house should be a pleasure, but one that is best done properly. Will you be buying a house that is finished and ready to move into or something that needs a little work?

If going the latter route then there are many aspects you will need to consider, wall covering, window frames, lighting, to name but a few. Whichever route you go, our Mini-Guide on BUILDING is priceless.

Consider your price range carefully and factor in how much you do and don’t want to do yourself. Also think about how much space you have within your full size house for your miniature house. This will set you off to a good start as you choose a building, be it your first or your next.

It's a maze of choices but our guide should help with those tough decisions.

“The intentions of a tool are what it does. A hammer intends to strike, a vise intends to hold fast, a lever intends to lift. They are what it is made for. But sometimes a tool may have other uses that you don’t know. Sometimes in doing what you intend, you also do what the knife intends, without knowing.” – Philip Pullman

On our website we have a series of Mini-Guides based around different aspects of the hobby.

These are the places to find the tools and materials that will make making easier (and more fun). Found on our Mini-Guide under the EQUIPMENT section.

There are many tools and materials specifically designed with miniaturists in mind and then there is the equipment that had no idea it was destined for use in making smaller scales.

When you enter this world you will quickly discover two things. Firstly, there are tools out there you never knew existed. Secondly, however long you spend making miniatures someone somewhere still has the capacity to surprise you with a new glue which just happens to look like water or maybe a metal-thingy-with-a-hook or ultra thin wood with a grain that’s perfect for recreating an antique chair.

“If we knew what we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?” – Albert Einstein

On our website we have a series of Mini-Guides based around different aspects of the hobby.

There are many organisations and people that will support you throughout your journey in the miniature world. Magazines, Societies, Teachers, and of course, Conventions. These are found on our Mini-Guide under the term: RESEARCH.

Sometimes the most enjoyment in a hobby comes from simply reading about it and learning more. Luckily for us there are people who are happy to share their knowledge in print, online and in person at the shows. We can all do more when we stand on the shoulders of giants.

One of the universally appealing things about Miniatura is that it is a place where people meet people. We use the phrase ""Where the miniature world meets"" for good reason.

The miniatures are of course amazing but it's the people that really make it a show worth coming to. There is something so special when like minded enthusiasts share ideas or even just the time of day.

Here are some images of happy makers and collectors as well as some shots of the queue (including our free shuttle bus) to give you an idea.

Will you be there next time? - 10th & 11th October 2026 at Stoneleigh NAEC in the heart of the UK.
