Understanding 1:12 and 1:24
Scale Miniatures at Miniature JNS
At Miniature JNS, we specialize in miniature pieces that bring small-scale worlds to life. Whether you’re a collector, crafter, or dollhouse enthusiast, understanding miniature scales helps you choose the perfect items for your display. Two of the most popular and widely used scales in miniatures are 1:12 scale and 1:24 scale, also known as one-inch scale and half-inch scale, respectively.
The 1:12 scale means that one inch in miniature equals twelve inches (one foot) in real life. For example, a 6-inch miniature sofa would represent a 6-foot real-world couch. This scale is the most common for dollhouses and allows for highly detailed accessories and furniture. At Miniature JNS, our 1:12 pieces are crafted to reflect lifelike realism and proportion, perfect for standard dollhouses.
The 1:24 scale, or half scale, is exactly half the size of 1:12. One inch in this scale equals twenty-four inches (two feet) in real life. It’s an ideal choice for collectors with limited display space or those who love the charm of working with even tinier details. Our 1:24 miniatures maintain the same high quality, just in a more compact form.
