In scaling down real pieces of furniture to get a pattern simply measure in inches and divide the total by 12. Or use this handy scale calculator found here for conversion. 1:12 scale seems to be one of the standard measures in the creation of Dolls' Houses these days.

For those that construct their own:

In constructing your furniture, safety should be one of your top concerns. Always pay close attention to blades and the handling of them. Plus observe all precautions when working with power tools. Also wear a good dust mask around any item that off-gases such as adhesives or even woodworking dust.

For those that purchase here is a list of ideas of what to look for:

• Wholesale dollhouse furniture - In most cases this category is reserved for retailers or someone who is making a sizable purchase. With some Doll Houses, their furnishings and the prices per interior item some collectors may want to check this avenue out.
  
  Do your price comparison from both sides, from the retail end and then the wholesale. While pricing the wholesale version, work in all furnishings needed plus anything else you may want just to see how close you come or surpass each wholesalers limit.
  
  It may surprise you just what savings you can obtain this way. However, that will mean you will have to purchase everything all at once too.


• Barbie dollhouse furniture - There are a great deal of variety in this category online.  However everything seems to be plastic. Not that I'm against that, it just seems that not too many items are unique. Personally I would love to see more individual ideas on this topic.


• Madeline doll house furniture - This doll and her furniture are collector's items. They are only online minimally. To find info and items relating to her is a rare find and expensive. Perhaps two of the better places to search is EBay and Amazon.


• Modern doll house furniture - Listed many places online. All one has to do is type in the search term "modern dollhouse furniture" and you come up with a multitude of offers. Searching this topic brings up furniture of every price, shape and texture.


• Tomy dollhouse furniture - This is but another topic in the vintage category where EBay may be your biggest chance at getting any item. Someone cleaning out their garage may be just what you are looking for here.


• Handcrafted doll house furniture - Another scarce topic however they do exist online. You will have to do your research but you will find them. So press on, your efforts will be rewarded.


• Victorian dolls house furniture - Many companies online sell these items. Amazon, EBay and leading Doll House Companies such as Dolls House Emporium.


• Wooden doll house furniture - One of my personal favorites is wooden dollhouse furniture. What else makes your mini world that much more believable and realistic? This choice makes all your effort more captivating and rewarding.


• Dollhouse furniture and accessories - The mini accessories are delightful as you place them with your furnishings. Easily found they do add character and charm. What else? They are the finishing touch to all your doll house furniture efforts.


• Unfinished dollhouse furniture - Amazon has a nice assortment of unfinished dollhouse furniture. But if you think about it any piece you want to give a different color or appearance to can be changed. Simply refinishing any piece can give your collection an added touch of interest.
