This blog post will be the 150th one on my website (yay me? 🙂 ), so you might think I would run out of DIY dollhouse decorating ideas?
Think again, there are still 1001 dollhouses and miniatures to be admired out there, in all kinds of styles , sizes and scales.
In this blog post, I will talk about 13 dollhouse decorating ideas kind of "at random", to partly get my laptop "cleaned up" as well, and have everything in one place.
Now that sounds negative, right? But yes, it can be chaos at Lizzy's place ;-).
Anyway, let's dive straight into things.

Dollhouse decorating idea 1. Dee - Daw Designs By Julie Jackson.
Let's start with just one word on Julie Jackson from Dee-Daw Designs: WOW!
Miniaturists from the UK really have the "it" factor, and Julie is one of them for sure.
She has a shop where she sells all kinds of her handmade miniatures and a book. You can get her advice, but most of all, she made 3 quite large and famous miniature projects.
- Featherstone Hall Hotel :
This is a very large dollhouse originally in the Georgian style, which she converted into a country house from around the Edwardian era.
She takes you an a tour of the house in her book, but also on her page. You can check out her gorgeous pictures there! (copyrighted helas)
- A "Theatre Royal"
Again, I would really advise you to check out her page on the construction of the theatre, as no pictures or YouTube channel is available for bloggers to post about.
- And last, but not least: her work for the BFG movie!
In 2015, she was contacted by a movie company to produce dressed furniture ( a bedroom suit) for Steven Spielberg's version of the movie BFG. Go check it out as well!
Dollhouse room idea 2. Charles Matton, A French Miniature Artist.
On our tour around the world, we couldn't skip this intriguing mini-artist.
Charles Matton, who sadly passed away in 2008, created projects in many media. He was an illustrator for the Esquire, but also a designer for movie sets, a painter, and a photographer.
But what we want to talk about today are his amazing "boîtes", small room boxes.
These room boxes are miniature replicas of real spaces, like studios of other artists or from the library of New York. He made 72 boxes in total during his lifetime.
His work was quite fascinating. Klick on (one of) the picture(s) below to see a small video.
