One Inch Scale? Which Size Is Right For You, Plus 6 Other Tips In Doll Furniture Buying

Is Inch Scale the right size for my dollhouse?

Dollhouse manufacturers use scales to help you make sure you are buying the right sized items for your dollhouse. On this website, all furniture items are on a 1 inch scale unless the title of the item says otherwise. The most popular scale for both furniture and dollhouses is the 1 inch scale.

Dollhouse scales show how many inches of dollhouse furniture correspond to a foot, or 12 inches, of real life furniture. This means that one inch of dollhouse furniture is equivalent to a foot, or 12 inches, of furniture in real life. So a 2 inch tall dollhouse coffee table would look like a 2 foot tall coffee table in reality. In other scales, such as half inch and quarter inch, less than an inch represents a foot of real furniture.

For example, a dollhouse dresser that is 4 inches tall represents a 4 foot tall real dresser.
