Bespoke Playhouses by Wallgarden

Nadine has been creating magical miniature homes since 2017. After a family project to create a whimsical garden getaway for their own child, the requests for bespoke playhouses like hers came flooding in.

These luxury and playful environments are perfect for forging beautiful memories and heirlooms that will last and be treasured beyond this generation. Out of Nadine’s own wish for her daughter to enjoy a recreational but also educational space in their own back garden as she had, Wallgarden was born to cater for other families and their dreams too.

You might recognise this cage as belonging to our solid brass Bulkhead light. By handcrafting this product we can be certain that every light is executed with the utmost care: ensuring they will continue to endure our Great British weather in style.⁠
⁠
It is true that necessity is the mother of invention...did you know that this best-seller was originally designed with Jim's family farm in mind? Looking to create a stylish and practical outdoor light that would conceal ugly exterior wires on his outbuildings, the Bulkhead was made to feature a clear glass shade and set in a vintage-style brass cage with a deep back plate and decorative screw fixings. As bold and sturdy as it is beautiful, this light is constructed to weather the outdoors with an IP rating of 44. ⁠
⁠
Tried and tested by Jim himself, the Bulkhead can now add a functional rustic finishing touch to any of your gardens or bathrooms too.
Celebrating the mesmerising qualities of glass, we Celebrating the mesmerising qualities of glass, we designed our dainty Orfila Collection with a cut glass pendant shade and a slim, delicate arm and flex which gives these lights a charming weightlessness. ⁠
⁠
Our favourite spots to enjoy these lights include (but are not limited to) multiple pendants lining a bar, a trio above a kitchen islands and the wall light perfectly placed to softly illuminate a bedside.⁠
⁠
Finding harmony in a space isn't always easy, but Finding harmony in a space isn't always easy, but @heavenandstubbsofficial have captured the essence of a warm and well-loved vintage style room that is both crammed with storage and sophisticatedly simple in presentation.⁠
⁠
Balancing colour is integral to the mood of a room, so using @farrowandball's intense India Yellow to bring out the gold undertones in our brass which in turn brings out the grain in the beautiful antique wood funiture...we think that's rather clever. ⁠
⁠
The Butler Rise and Fall Pendant is hand crafted from solid, natural brass and inspiredby the brass and copperware found in beautiful Victorian homes. It features a spun brass shade, period detailing on the collar and matching brown flex. The light has a lovely tactile quality that befits its handmade nature and helps it to slip, rather effortlessly, into the heart of many a heritage home.⁠
