understanding Dollhouse Scales: Half Inch
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. At Dollhouse City, unless the title of the furniture item tells you it is ½ inch or ¼ 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. 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.
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. An 8-12 inch height means it is built on a 1 inch scale. If it uses a half inch scale, the height will be from 4 to 6 inches; quarter inch scale dollhouses have heights of 2-3 inches.
