Tiny tips & tricks

Know your scales

There are several common scales for dollhouse miniatures: 1:12, 1:24, 1:48 – even all the way down to 1:144! These numbers refer to the ratio of real life to miniature: 1" in miniature is roughly equal to the corresponding inches in real life.One-inch scale, or 1:12, is the most commonly found, along with 1:24 or half-inch scale. Make sure to check that the item you are looking at matches the scale you are working in!

Objects are smaller than they appear

Viewing miniatures online will always make them seem larger than life! In our product photos, we use coins and rulers to try to give you the best concept of size. It may be helpful to have a ruler on hand while you are shopping. If you ever need exact dimensions, don't hesitate to reach out for more info. We are just an email away!

Keep calm and have fun!

We always encourage our customers to take their time and enjoy bringing their projects to life. It can get overwhelming fast, especially when the ideas start flowing. The most important thing to remember is – regardless of age, gender, or especially the amount of experience with creative hobbies.

Dollhouses and miniatures are for everyone!

  • A dated-looking photo of a doorway looking into a room painted purple, with several dollhouse miniatures organized neatly inside on shelves, a pegboard and a bookcase, on top of which is a pink chalet-style dollhouse. Above the doorway is a yellow plaque with "Dollhouse Alley Miniature Houses" hand painted in purple, and a stenciled-on white picket fence.

  • Brick storefront of Dollhouse Alley during the day, with a blue sign bearing the business name and information. There are several cute items for sale that are semi-visible inside the store through the glass windows and door, and a small decorative welcome sign propped in the window.
