Welcome to Dollhouse Haven. We curate furniture, kitchen props, accessories, décor, and lighting primarily for 1:12 dollhouses, miniature rooms, and dioramas. This short guide helps you choose pieces that fit your scene—and set clear expectations before you order.

1. Start with 1:12 scale

Our catalog is built around 1:12 scale: roughly one inch in the miniature equals about one foot in a full-size room. Most listings are intended for standard 1:12 dollhouse scenes, but room layouts and furniture proportions still vary.

Practical tip: Treat the measurements on each product page as the final reference when they are provided. If a key dimension is missing and you need it before buying, email us and we will try to confirm it.

2. Choose one anchor piece

A calm scene usually starts with one larger anchor—a cabinet, cupboard, stove, table, or shelf—then adds smaller props around it. Buying six tiny accessories first often feels busier without looking finished.

Practical tip: Pick the piece that defines the wall or counter edge you care about most. Then add 2–4 finishing props (utensils, bowls, a rack, lighting) that share the same quiet palette.

3. Build by scene, not by random cart

We organize the shop so you can build a kitchen corner, desk moment, bathroom ritual, or garden vignette—rather than collecting unrelated leftovers. Scene building keeps scale, color, and story consistent.

Practical tip: Decide the story in one sentence (“quiet morning kitchen,” “evening reading desk”). Shop that room category first, then cross into Accessories or Decor only for accents that support the same story.

4. Check what’s included (and what isn’t)

Only the items named in the product title and What’s included details are included. Dolls, room boxes, extra furniture, and other pieces shown in photos may be styling props unless the listing says they are part of the set.

Practical tip: Read the short description and full product copy before checkout. If a photo looks like a full room, assume the surrounding furniture is display styling until the listing proves otherwise.

5. Small parts & collector use

These are miniature display and hobby items for collectors, dollhouse builders, and diorama makers. Many pieces include very small, sharp, fragile, or detachable parts and are not intended as toys for young children. Keep small parts away from children and pets, and handle pieces gently.

Practical tip: Unpack over a tray or soft cloth. Avoid forcing delicate joins, and keep clay/metal props dry unless the listing says otherwise.

6. International shipping & realistic timing

Orders ship internationally. After payment confirmation we usually process within 1–3 business days (excluding weekends and public holidays). When the carrier provides tracking, we share it after dispatch.

Delivery commonly takes about 7–21 business days after dispatch, depending on destination, carrier routing, customs, peak seasons, and remote-area service. Tracking is helpful, not a guaranteed calendar date. Destination countries may charge import duty, VAT/GST, or brokerage fees; unless a charge is expressly included at checkout, those amounts are the buyer’s responsibility.

Shipping options and totals are shown at checkout before payment—checkout is the final source of truth. Free-shipping thresholds, when offered, are checkout rules, not a permanent homepage promise.

For damaged, defective, or clearly incorrect items, contact us within 7 business days of delivery with your order number, clear photos, and a short description. Full details live on our Shipping and Returns pages.
