Welcome to our website on Wooden Doll Houses. Here you will be able to find valuable information and the best suppliers for your Wooden doll house needs. A dollhouse is simply a miniature toy home. Over the years, doll houses have primarily been the domain of children, but their collection and crafting has become an ever increasing hobby for many adults.

Miniature homes have been made for thousands of years. The earliest known examples were found in Egyptian tombs. They are usually furnished with domestic articles and resident inhabitants (people and animals).

Early European doll houses were uniquely constructed on a custom basis by individual craftsmen. Germany produced the most prized doll houses and doll house miniatures. The TynieToy Company in the United States made authentic replicas of American antique houses and furniture beginning in 1917. After World War II, doll houses became mass produced in factories on a much larger scale with less detailed craftsmanship.

Today doll houses are available in many different forms. From pre constructed and decorated houses,  assembly kits and custom built houses made to a customer's specific design. Some hobbyist insist on building their own doll house. Materials used range from stacked boxes, performed plastic and the classis wooden doll houses. United States doll houses typically have an open back and a fancy front facade. British houses are more likely to have a hinged front that opens to reveal the individual rooms.

If you don't have the time or desire to build a doll house, you can purchase one that will arrive at your door completely built and finished inside and out. Just remove your doll house from the box and start furnishing and accessorising it with items of your choice. Everything is included.

Miniature objects (furniture, books, lighting, etc.) inside a doll houses are widely available. They can come ready-made as dollhouse furniture kits or may also be homemade.

Children's play doll houses are usually 1:18 or two third inch scale. The most common standard for adult collectors is 1:12 scale, also called one inch scale. The largest common size for doll houses is Playscale or 1:6 which is proportionate for Barbie, Blythe and other dolls 11-12 inches tall.
