What can be built with wire? What about dollhouse furniture?

Using wire with dollhouse furniture

Do you want a design that is very intricate? Choosing a wire material means that the craftsman has greater flexibility to make what normal wood could not. Wire lends itself so easily to miniature design that you’ll notice more detail and miniature replicas. Wire will show up in dollhouse bedrooms, but it is most prevalent in dollhouse accessories and outdoor furniture.

dollhouse nursery

The most charming and attractive rooms in any dollhouse are the children’s and nursery rooms. You can decorate the children’s room to look serene or lively, and the available accessories will delight you (such as teddy bears, a copy of The Cat in the Hat or a dollhouse). A baby’s room, with its charming furniture and styles, will make your dollhouse as homey as possible.

dollhouse bedrooms

One of the most important areas of your dollhouse is the bedroom. When you choose your dollhouse bedroom, you will be surprised by the variety: there are many pieces of furniture to choose from, and they all have different colors, styles, and designs. Each set has its own unique features, such as distinctive carved designs and specially designed bedding.

Dollhouse Furniture: Wicker

When you really want to have some detail in your dollhouse it is time to consider wicker furniture. Traditional wicker furniture is made of vine, bamboo, or other similar material. Most dollhouse furniture sets that have a wicker design are made of wire, as there are not many miniature bamboo trees. Wicker adds an attractive modern look to your dollhouse furniture set and we recommend complementing contemporary or traditional dollhouse kits.

Maple material with dollhouses

Although not as popular as mahogany or oak, maple still provides a great creamy or even reddish-brown look to your dollhouse furniture. Maple is one of the hardest woods, chosen for its durability and stress absorption, it will often be on display on basketball courts. In fact, maple wood when it comes to dollhouse furniture is probably some of the most scratch resistant you’ll find on the market. This type of wood blends well into the coordinating design and would fit in with any dollhouse style.

Use of porcelain in dollhouse furniture

What is the first thing you think of when you think of porcelain? China, and with good reason because the main discovery of porcelain came from China at the beginning of the 20th century. It has been the material of choice for plates, potters, platters, and “china.” Porcelain is also widely used by miniaturists. You will see that most bathroom fixtures are made of porcelain creating a beautiful glazed white color.

Is the quarter inch scale the right size for my dollhouse?

Dollhouse scales tell you that you are buying the right size furniture for your dollhouse. On this website, all furniture is built on a 1 inch scale unless you see ½ inch or ¼ inch in the item title.

This piece of furniture has a quarter inch scale, also known as 1:48. Each inch of dollhouse furniture is equal to 48 inches (four feet) of real furniture. At quarter-inch (1:48) scale, ¼-inch of dollhouse furniture equals one foot of real furniture; so a ½ inch tall dollhouse coffee table would look like a 2 foot tall coffee table in reality. If you don’t know the scale of the furniture you need for your dollhouse, use a ruler to determine the height from floor to ceiling on the bottom floor of your dollhouse. If your dollhouse uses a 1-inch scale, the height should be between 8 and 12 inches.

If you use a half-inch scale, the height will be 4 to 6 inches; Quarter-inch scale dollhouses have heights of 2 to 3 inches.
