Would you like a very detailed piece of dollhouse furniture? Choosing a wire material means that the craftsman has greater flexibility to do what normal wood could not. Wire lends itself so easily to miniature design that you will notice greater detail and miniature replication. Wire will appear in dollhouse rooms, but it is most prevalent in dollhouse accessories, and outdoor furniture.
Modern Dollhouse Furniture
There are many types and styles of dollhouse furniture and one of the newest designs is modern dollhouse furniture. Modern dollhouse furniture is designed post 1960's and has a distinct look and shape to the furniture style. Modern design has a unique feel to it, and we suggest that if you are interested in this route that you plan your entire dollhouse with modern furniture to keep a certain amount of consistency.
Dollhouse One Inch Furniture
Dollhouse manufacturers use scales to help you make sure you are buying the right sized items for your dollhouse. On this website, all furniture items are on a 1 inch scale unless the title of the item says otherwise. The most popular scale for both furniture and dollhouses is the 1 inch scale.
Dollhouse scales show how many inches of dollhouse furniture correspond to a foot, or 12 inches, of real life furniture. With the 1 inch (1:12) scale, an inch of dollhouse furniture equates to a foot of real furniture. So a 2 inch tall dollhouse coffee table would look like a 2 foot tall coffee table in reality. 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. There are other scales, but they are less popular and common
Dollhouse Bathrooms
Typical dollhouse bathroom furniture consists of a few basic items; namely, a toilet, a sink, and a tub. However, the materials used and colors and patterns available make dollhouse bathrooms as unique as any other room. You can further this by adding accessories to your heart’s content—everything from bathroom scales to perfume containers to bottles of Tylenol
Dollhouse Furniture material: Pecan
What most people don't know about pecans is that it is a great wood for furniture. This type of wood is growing in miniatures and will soon, if it has not already be the dominate type of wood for dollhouse furniture. Pecan wood is very light in its color, but don't let that fool you into thinking that it is a more delicate wood it actually rates right up there with mahogany. You will also see a growth in the use of pecan wood in modern furniture, flooring, and pretty much anything that needs to look beautiful under a lot of strain. Pecan fits in any style of dollhouse, depending of course in the style that the furniture was designed to fit.
Using Wicker with Dollhouse Furniture
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. It is a high quality design that you will find in outdoor sets or in some modern dollhouse sets.
Children’s Room and Nursery
The most charming and appealing rooms in any dollhouse are the children’s and nursery rooms. Children’s rooms can be playful or peaceful, and the accessories you can add (toy blocks, children’s books, and even a doll’s dollhouse) are charming as can be. A nursery can transform your dollhouse into a miniature home with its adorable baby furniture.
