Dollhouse Furniture: Wicker Who would have thought that they actually make dollhouse furniture with wicker? It is the result of interlacing branch, wire, vine, or bamboo around a furniture frame.
In much of the same way that it is made traditionally, dollhouse wicker furniture is built with wire or very small wood strips.
Wicker adds a modern look and appeal to your dollhouse furniture set and we would recommend that it complements contemporary or traditional dollhouse kits.
Porcelain Dollhouse Furniture When you see "made from porcelain" what do you think about? The simple truth is china, and the reason is that porcelain was first discovered around the 600s in china.
It has been the material of choice for plates, potter, dishes, and "china".
It has also worked its way into dollhouse furniture beautifully.
Bathroom sets and miniature accessories are commonly the best place for miniature porcelain sets.
Unfinished Dollhouse Furniture and Kits If you found building your own dollhouse to be a fulfilling and liberating experience, consider purchasing furniture kits or unfinished furniture.
Furniture kits include items you put together yourself that will look like their picture once they are completed.
Furniture kits are unassembled, but once you put them together they will appear as they do in the picture.
Bathroom Dollhouse Furniture Most dollhouse bathroom kits are pretty simple: they include a tub, a toilet, a sink, and sometimes a mirror.
Surprisingly, these few items come in so many patterns, materials, and colors that your dollhouse bathroom can have a personality all its own.
A few well-placed accessories, such as a towel closet or a tube of toothpaste and a hairbrush, will go a long way to add personality to your dollhouse bathroom.
Is Inch Scale the right size for my dollhouse? Dollhouse scales are a way for you to know that the furniture you are buying will fit your dollhouse.
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.
The most frequently used scale for dollhouses and dollhouse furniture is the 1 inch (1:12) scale.
Every inch of dollhouse furniture is equivalent to twelve inches of real furniture.
For example, a dollhouse tub 5 inches long is built to represent a 5 foot real tub.
In other scales, such as half inch and quarter inch, less than an inch represents a foot of real furniture.
For example, a dollhouse dresser that is 4 inches tall represents a 4 foot tall real dresser.
In other scales, such as half inch and quarter inch, less than an inch represents a foot of real furniture.
Dollhouse Furniture for Libraries and Office A library or office in your dollhouse really helps you define the era to which your dollhouse belongs: some furniture items are extremely modern; others really capture a Victorian-era essence.
Adding a small amount of accessories, such as a few classic books or an ornamental globe, go a long way in this room.
This room is an easy way to make your dollhouse look a little classier.
Colors in dollhouse design: White If you are looking for a classical or popular color choice for your dollhouse furniture may we recommend going with white.
It is a great color that matches any type of flooring or wallpaper.
Another benefit to a white color is that it will be extremely easy to dust, clean, and maintain.
