How to Obtain Free Dollhouse Plans

My Suggestions

Do an online search of the best sites out there.
Ask someone you know who is knowledgeable in building and designing.
Try your own design ideas out.
And lastly my favorite resource, look in and study books available to you from your local bookstore, library or online.

(Don't forget older books have great info as well in them. So make sure you don't rule them out just because they were not published "today".)

The Practical List

Doing an Online Search

First of all, start with an online search at your favorite search engine. Wherever you prefer to go is okay. I did choose Google just because it's my habit. And as we all know old habits die hard.

So to Google with the search term "free dollhouse plans"... and we find a few interesting choices:

All of the above mentioned sites have illustrations of their designs available as well. Just in interest .. Better Homes and Gardens had a beautiful plan online for a mini doll's home built from a bookcase.

Asking Someone to Help you

Here you have to use your judgement in who you ask for free designs. They have to know how to draw up a plan for you. Do not ask the local know-it-all because chances are that he doesn't. You know the type...

Ask instead these types of individuals... Whether it is a family member or a knowledgeable stranger someone referred you to, keep in mind that their time is valuable to them.

Even if you want a "cost you nothing" plan and think these people will supply you with one, have a heart for them and do something in exchange for their time and effort.

Yes in other words do not be totally cheap! If you can not do anything else, at least trade your time for theirs.

Your own Design Ideas

I bet you do have your own design ideas. Personally, I want to encourage you with developing them further.

So what if your first attempts were not what you thought they would be. Don't quit so easy. Give yourself time to develop your talents. You can do anything you set your mind to.

Look at some of the great inventors. Think of how often some of them failed. Keep on learning and have fun while you do. You CAN succeed.

Seven Easy Steps to Follow

Your Own Free Woodworking Plans

Select an architectural plan software. We have reviewed and searched for ideas that would work well with dollhouses. But sadly there does not seem to be many good ones on the market. At least that are professional and easy to implement. Check out what Amazon has available for architecture software. The keyword "Architecture" or "Architect" software gives you the best results. Check this link for ideas of what is currently available. They do have a varied selection. (The link will open in a new window.)

That said however we have found and do like Home Designer. It is easy to use and design with. If there is something else available that you have had success with we would appreciate knowing. Other programs did not seem to have the caliber of Home Designer. Contact us here about your findings regarding paid or free woodworking plans software.
Get Trial Versions if Possible. Obtaining a trial version is great in that it allows you to try it before committing to a purchase. Absolutely priceless feature that will tell you if you and your chosen new software will click. If you can understand and use it as well as if the software will perform the way you will need it to. All of us have ideas and not every software is for every person.

If you find a couple examples of products available. It will be necessary to study each program. So download trials of all candidates. Actually use software you find available if possible so you can do an adequate comparison.
Open your software and begin learning how it operates. That is the next step. To know how to work in your program is essential. With Home Designer you have a huge selection of learning videos available. You just simply click the link in your program and go right to them. These videos deal with everything from being an absolute beginner to having a degree in architecture. Absolutely priceless for developing your own free woodworking plans.

If using Home Designer. Begin studying the videos by going back and forth between learning and using to get the hang of your new software. It is easier to know what to design if you have control of your program software and can easily put it to work.
Purchase a home design magazine or book. If you are new to designing purchasing a design magazine full of real house plans will give you something to study. Then after you have studied a bit of designs you can start to create on your own. We like these kinds of tools because it helps you know something that may be needed in your plans. Ideas that you may never have thought of on your own.
Experiment and enjoy the creative elements of learning. Or in other words play at creating your designs. Continuously build your own excitement so you are always liking what and how you are doing. Your dollhouse hobby should be the relaxing, stress-free environment you are seeking in a leisure activity.
Decide on which software program to purchase. If you have been using a free trial in a couple of program choices it is now time to decide what program you enjoyed using the most. The easiest may be a natural selection for most people unless you like certain features better in one program than another. Only you can decide which you liked best.

Already bought your software? Second guessing yourself? Having doubtful moments and really know the other product was right? Ask for your refund and get what you like. It is after all your choice that counts and a few days is not going to make that much difference in a refund. It may surprise you at how much companies will help you out. Mostly though do not buy until you are sure.
Finally after all the practice and learning begin designing your first plan. It is always great to reach the point where you feel confident enough to put all your practice to work. That is to work on projects you find excitingly motivating and rewarding. And then to finally go in the direction of completion. Where you now have the building finished and you are inspired to pursue the interior.

Lastly Books have it all Where Instruction is Concerned

Books are relatively inexpensive these days. Going to book sites online and you get that idea for sure.
Books are available when and where you are.
Books don't complain about giving you their time.
Books are usually smarter than you are. Or at least you hope or you wouldn't have bought it, lol.
Books can be studied and mixed with each other to entertain and enlighten you more.

Here on this page you will find several of the great books I recommend, enjoy, even drool over and dream of owning. In time they may all be mine.

Really no Miniature Plan is Guaranteed to Cost you Nothing

No they really are not "free dollhouse plans" when you think of it. All these designs provide you with is a small starting point.

What you have to count on is that they will at some point require your very own input and time. Even if they are extremely well done they will all eventually cost you something.

Whether in the time or in the cost of materials or even if you have to add more knowledge to them and seek out a
professional, they do all cost something in the end.

In whatever way you make your mini mansion, do all you can to enjoy what and how you accomplish it...
