Step 1
Understand that there are two types of dollhouses - miniature and toy dollhouses.
-
Step 2
Be aware that miniatures are made exactly to scale, and everything in the doll house should match the scale. Generally, these are collector's items.
-
Step 3
Know that toy dollhouses are not made to scale.
-
Step 4
Know, too, that the simplest way to match a doll and dollhouse is to place the doll in the dollhouse and see whether it looks like it's the right size - with at least several inches between the doll's head and ceiling.
-
Step 5
Lay the doll down on a bed in the dollhouse. The doll should fit comfortably on the bed and not hang over the edges or appear lost in it.
-
Step 6
Realize that a child will not be hugely particular about having everything in the dollhouse exactly the same scale.
-
Step 7
Make sure the doll fits through any doorways and that the doll appears to fit comfortably in any chairs. When seated at a table, the table should be between waist and shoulder level.
-
Step 8
Recognize that, in general, toy dollhouses are made in miniature size, in which the dolls are only several inches high; small size, in which the dolls are 4 to 6 inches tall; and fashion size, in which the house is made for Barbie-size dolls.
