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!
