Is Half Inch the right size for my dollhouse? 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 items are on a 1 inch scale unless the title of the item says otherwise.
With the half inch (1:24) scale, half an inch of dollhouse furniture equates to a foot of real furniture; so a 1 inch tall dollhouse coffee table would look like a 2 foot tall coffee table in reality.
For example, a dollhouse dresser that is 2 inches tall represents a 4 foot tall real dresser.
In other scales, such as 1 inch and quarter inch, different sizes would represent that same dresser.
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.
Half inch scales will have heights between 4-6 inches; for a quarter inch scale, there should be 2-3 inches between floor and ceiling.
