When you think of a doll's house, a dusty and traditional Victorian structure might spring to mind, or a wooden children's toy with smiley-faced figures. Dating back to the 17th century, the concept of a miniature home is nothing new - but over the last few years, a modern trend has emerged popularising 'tiny things' online.
The hashtag #miniatures has more than 4 million posts on Instagram, and Etsy, Pinterest and TikTok are all full of edible miniature sandwich videos, tiny mountain paintings and miniscule working ovens. Since lockdown, it seems a new age of doll's houses is upon us - and it's opened up an entirely fresh space for creatives.
