Miniature Rooms

A miniature room is the ideal project for a new or seasoned miniaturist. It is less daunting and time consuming that finishing entire dolls house and is can be small enough to be displayed on the wall, in a cabinet or on a table.

Adelaide enjoys designing and constructing miniature room scenes that are mostly in 1:12 scale or dolls house scale. Other smaller scale miniature rooms are installed depending on the scene which she calls the “Room in Room” concept. She combines her experience in constructing real size houses with her art, model making and interior design background to create miniature rooms that are unique works of art.

Adelaide’s signature miniature room is called The Blue Room completed in May 2005. She designed this room to host a collection of blue china and glass wear.

Inspiration for the room was the wedgewood blue wallpaper. Wall Cabinets were deisgned to fit three of the wall panels. The lighting is 12 volt for the wall lights and LED for the down lights in the wall cabinets The chair is Bespaq and has been covered in the same blue fabric as the curtain to the left. The display case has a miniature shell collection in it. On top sits a silver tea service, little glass bell and flowers in crystal vase. Tea anyone ?

An example of the “Room in Room” concept is The Quilter miniature room completed in Nov 2006. There is a Miniature Room Picture on the back left wall called The Sewing Room which is in 1:144 scale and depicts a sewing room theme.

The Blue Room and The Quilter rooms were published in the Spanish miniature magazine Miniaturas SPAIN - April 2008, pages 16 to 19.

The Plan is to complete 25 miniature rooms before 2015. The miniature rooms vary in width, height and depth depending what is to be displayed.
