FAQs
Is this rug compatible with all dollhouses?
Yes, it is designed for 1:12 scale, which is the standard size for most commercially available dollhouses.
Can the rug be cut to fit a smaller space?
While technically possible, cutting the rug may cause the edges to fray as it is a woven item. We recommend folding the excess underneath if you need a smaller fit.
Is the material made of real wool?
The rug is crafted for the miniature hobby market using synthetic materials designed to replicate the look and feel of traditional woven carpets.
Will the colors bleed if they get wet?
We strongly advise keeping the rug dry, as the dyes may not be colorfast when exposed to water.
How do I secure it to a wooden floor?
A small amount of temporary mounting putty or museum wax is the best way to secure it without damaging the wooden surface of your dollhouse.
Troubleshooting
Rug corners curling up
Apply a tiny amount of non-permanent museum wax or specialized dollhouse adhesive to the underside of the corners to flatten them against the floor.
Dust accumulation on the fibers
Use a dry, soft-bristled makeup brush or a canned air duster to gently lift dust from the surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the carpet, simply lay it flat on the desired surface; if it tends to curl, a small piece of removable museum wax or double-sided tape on the underside can secure the corners to the flooring. It is compatible with all standard wooden, plastic, or tiled 1:12 scale dollhouse floors. To maintain the appearance, avoid placing it in direct sunlight for extended periods to prevent potential fading. If the surface becomes dusty, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove debris rather than shaking the rug, as this preserves the integrity of the fabric weave.
