Dollhouse funiture Scales: Half Inch
Dollhouse scales tell you that you are buying the right sized furniture for your dollhouse. 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.
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. If it is between 8-12 inches, it is most likely 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.
