Making Sense of Quarter Inch Dollhouse Scales

When you buy a furniture item, you want to make sure it will fit correctly in your dollhouse. Dollhouse scales help you know you are getting the right size. On this website, all furniture is built on a 1 inch scale unless you see inch or inch in the title of the item.

This item is built on a quarter inch, or 1:48 inch, scale. This means that an inch of dollhouse furniture represents 4 feet of dollhouse furniture. For example, a dollhouse dresser that is 1 inch tall represents a 4 foot tall real dresser. In other scales, such as 1 inch and half inch, different sizes would represent that same dresser. If you do not know the scale of furniture you need for your dollhouse, use a ruler to determine the floor-to-ceiling height on the bottom floor of your dollhouse. A good way to determine which scale to use for your dollhouse is to measure the floor-to-ceiling height of your dollhouse.

Heights between 4-6 inches use a half inch scale; heights between 2-3 inches are on a quarter inch scale.
