Dollhouse Wall Units

What does 1:12 and 1:24 mean, and why is it important? We are simply referring to how small something has been shrunk.

The two most popular scales for dollhouse miniatures are 1" scale (or 1/12 scale) and 1/2" scale (or 1/24" scale).
1″ scale: It can be written as 1:12 inch scale, (1/12 Scale) also referred to as full scale, one-inch scale (or 1" scale), means 1 inch = 1 foot.

The next smallest common dollhouse Bowl scale is 1:24. It is twice as small as the standard 1:12 size. Because it is half the size, it is commonly also referred to as ‘half scale’ or ‘half inch’.
1/2″ scale: It can be written as 1:24 inch scale, (1/24 Scale), also referred to as half scale, half-inch scale (or 1/2" scale), means 1/2 inch = 1 foot
