1:12, 1:24, and 1:48 dollhouse scale comparison

The same real-world room becomes very different in size as the denominator grows.

Six real feet = 6 in at 1:12 · 3 in at 1:24 · 1.5 in at 1:48

How it works

1:12 offers working space but needs more display room.

Checked example

1:24 halves each 1:12 linear measurement; 1:48 reduces it to one quarter.

Workshop notes

Vintage or handmade pieces may not follow an exact ratio.
