Coming SoonModular Wall System
Something new is taking shape We're building a modular 1:12 scale wall system for miniature interiors - the kind of backdrop that turns a shelf of furniture into a proper room. Each panel is a self-contained piece of architecture: fluted pilasters, stepped capitals, layered cornices, recessed panelling. They connect side by side, so you can build a single vignette or run a full wall across your dollhouse, display shelf, or diorama. The first collection includes: Panelled wall sections - classic wainscoting with dado rail detailing, some with a fireplace, other with a window Arched openings - a grand doorway with keystone and archivolt, either open or fitted with working French doors Corner pieces - for turning walls and building complete rooms Floor pieces Everything is designed to be assembled without tools. Panels slot together, doors swing on integrated hinges, and the whole system stays consistent in scale and detail so pieces from different sets always belong together. This is just the beginning The wall system is the foundation. From here it grows: staircases, upper floors, ceiling details - everything you need to build a complete miniature house, room by room. Because every piece works to the same grid and the same scale, whatever we release later will connect straight onto what you already own. Be the first to know We're finishing the final details now. Sign up below and we'll let you know the moment the first pieces are available - and receive an introduction discount.

The Atelier
Where dark academia meets craft
LayeredLiving began with a fascination for miniature worlds and the stories they tell. Every bookcase, every accessory, every panel of our modular wall systems is designed to evoke the atmosphere of candlelit libraries and forgotten studies.
Each piece is designed from scratch in CAD and 3D-printed in our Dutch atelier - multi-material, in matte black, brushed gold and ivory, with the colour built into the print itself rather than painted on afterwards. Everything is engineered to look right at 1:12 scale, down to the smallest detail.
We believe miniatures deserve the same care as their full-sized inspirations.
