Small Scale, Big Magic
We’re always drawn to pieces that celebrate crafts, storytelling and beautiful interiors — especially when they come in miniature form. This newly released book from The Kensington Dollshouse Company does all three, offering a quietly magical glimpse into a world where small-scale design is treated with the same care and consideration as full-sized interiors.
Created by mother-and-daughter team Rebecca and Lucy Clayton, the London-based studio is known for its exquisitely detailed, heirloom-quality doll’s houses, crafted from their Kensington workshop. Alongside private commissions and collaborations with luxury brands, the duo also specialise in the sensitive restoration of antique and vintage houses, reimagining them with imagination while preserving their original character.
Spanning 128 colour pages, the book offers an intimate look inside their miniature world. Each house is photographed in detail and accompanied by the story behind its creation, revealing interiors that feel both on-trend and timeless — layered, characterful spaces that mirror contemporary interior design while remaining classic in spirit.
Beautiful Interiors, Perfected in Miniature
A highlight is an exclusive tour of their latest 1:12 scale project: a rescued vintage toy shop, thoughtfully transformed for Christmas 2025. It’s a piece that captures the joy of storytelling through design, appealing equally to seasoned interiors lovers and younger readers discovering the charm of miniature worlds for the first time.
That cross-generational appeal is part of what makes this book so special. Older readers will appreciate the craftsmanship, heritage and design references, while younger readers will be drawn to the imagination and narrative woven into every room.
The book was debuted by the prestigious House & Garden, underscoring its place as a considered and collectible interiors title.
