Is Half Inch the right size for my dollhouse?

Dollhouse scales are a way for you to know that the furniture you are buying will fit your dollhouse. At Dollhouse City, unless the title of the furniture item tells you it is inch or inch, the item is built on a 1 inch scale.

This furniture piece has a half inch scale, otherwise known as 1:24. Every inch of dollhouse furniture is equivalent to 24 inches of real furniture. So, a 3 inch dollhouse sofa represents a 6 foot real sofa. Other scales include the one inch (1:12) and quarter inch (1:48) scales.

A good way to determine which scale to use for your dollhouse is to measure the floor-to-ceiling height of your dollhouse. If it is between 8-12 inches, it is most likely a 1 inch scale. Heights between 4-6 inches use a half inch scale; heights between 2-3 inches are on a quarter inch scale.

Wicker adds a modern look and appeal to your dollhouse furniture set and we would recommend that it complements contemporary or traditional dollhouse kits.

Outdoors is not the only place to find metal material for a dollhouse, you will also see it in the electrical work, and laundry room.
