Quarter Inch Dollhouse Furniture:This And Many More Adventures

Dollhouse Scales: Quarter 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. On this website, all furniture is built on a 1 inch scale unless you see inch or inch in the title of the item.

This furniture piece has a quarter inch scale, otherwise known as 1:48. Every inch of dollhouse furniture is equivalent to 48 inches (four feet) of real furniture. For example, a dollhouse dresser that is 1 inch tall represents a 4 foot tall real dresser. In other scales, such as 1 inch and half inch, different sizes would represent that same dresser. If you are not sure which scale your dollhouse corresponds to, simply measure the height from floor to ceiling on the 1st floor of your dollhouse. Heights from 8-12 inches translate to 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.
