How-to Build a Doll House

All Doll House Plans take time...
...and are Worth Everything you Put into Them

The Excitement of a New Doll House ProjectAre you looking to obtain a great dollhouse building plan checklist?

That's a great goal to say the least. But then again I am a fan of most goals pertaining to dollhouses. And the better your doll house floor plan is, the more you will enjoy every moment of your construction journey.

And enjoyment is one of the most amazing components of dollhouse creation anyway. In my opinion it truly is the only one you must have.

How to Decide where to Start

However there are so many angles to pursue. From obtaining someone's free doll house plans... to designing your own wooden doll house plan... to getting the ultimate barbie dollhouse plans and making them your own...

Wherever your miniature dollhouse plan takes you, make sure you fully enjoy the journey.

I have created this page to help with your decision making process.

When starting your doll house, decisions must be made concerning:

Doll House Plans 2 Build a Doll House Your Doll House Plans all
Start with, what else,
a Definite Plan

  • The Scale - your choice should be consistent throughout your doll house plans
  • Who it is Intended For - whether adult or child, for collectors or play?
  • What kind of Accessories will you Purchase or Make
  • The Amount of Storage Space you have Available - if you intend to keep it
  • Will it be Bought as a Kit or Constructed from a Doll House Building Plan?
  • What kind of Building Materials will be used in Construction?
  • What Period will it Originate From - modern or antique styled?
  • How many Rooms and Floors will it have?
  • What kind of Roof - hipped or gable?

There are so many questions to be asked and choices to be made. A well researched start will help in the success of your doll house. This factor also will help if you intend to sell your project or pass it on in your family as an heirloom. So always start with a great plan.

Decide on the type of project you desire

No time like the planning stage to decide about what kind of doll house you will build. It would be not such a good thing to discover halfway through your project that,

gee you really did want a castle doll house
instead of a simple, but creative house.

The Types of Projects Range From:

  • castles
  • workshops
  • cottages
  • cardboard
  • custom built
  • wooden
  • assembled
  • Your Doll House Plans are as Extensive as a Real Home
  • metal
  • paper
  • plastic canvas
  • bookcase doll houses
  • 1 storey, 2 storey and 3 storey styles
  • doll houses mounted on swivels
  • as well as the rest of the many various makes and models on the market today.

Given that most dolls' houses are actually somewhat like making a scale model of a real home...

You will get into just about every topic it would require to make your own dwelling. So your own doll house plans will need to be quite extensive as far as that goes.

So considering ALL aspects of your doll house project before you start makes great sense.

If this is new territory for you, you may wish to consider buying a kit just to save yourself the hassle of deciding:

  • what should go where?...
  • what do I do now?...
  • and what do I furnish it with?...

If in Doubt about the Correct Way to Build a Doll House go with a Dollshouse KitDoing a project from a kit would give you an excellent learning tool. Also it would give you confidence where doing a future project was concerned. Especially in regards to designing your own plans.

We have often used projects by others, god bless them, to furnish our own knowledge. Someone else who has been there, done that, which is what a kit is like, lets you in to see their woodworking techniques.

If you are confident enough, that knowledge can fuel your own creative mode. Substantially.

Learning from life is a great form of instruction.

But never copy the designs you encounter, simply see what they have done and come up with your own ideas. Just tell yourself, your designs are amazing, and go from there.
