The Library Corner – Dollhouse Miniature Room Kit, 1:12 Scale
Every collector has a corner they’d like to disappear into for an afternoon. This one has walnut bookcases filled to the brim, a leather wing chair with its footstool pulled close, and a kerosene lamp casting a warm pool of light over an open book.
The kit comes with everything you need to create it in 1:12 scale: a pre-assembled corner room box, the furniture, and a library’s worth of books, including a set with real pages you can open and leaf through.
What’s in the kit? ... but all items are available to purchase individually

Good to know
- The room box arrives pre-assembled in unfinished wood, so you can paint, stain or paper it however you like before you furnish it.
- We’ve measured it all out. The two bookcases stand side by side along one wall, the small shelf and wing chair fit along the other, and the rug sits across the middle with room to spare.
- Everything is 1:12 scale, so it sits happily alongside the rest of your collection.
- This is a collector’s kit with small, delicate parts, best enjoyed by adults and older children.
Get the look
The room in our photo is finished with a few extras, all available separately:
- Decorative Emerald Wallpaper, the deep green of a traditional library, with Wallpaper paste to hang it
- Herringbone Flooring, real wood stained a warm walnut and cut to the curve of the floor. 1 pack of 4 will cover the floor, or there is a more affordable sheet of chevron faux wood flooring
Complete the room
The painting above the book shelf is Huntsman on a Bay Horse, an original hand-painted 1:12 oil painting by Larry Morganti in the tradition of English sporting art. It’s one of a kind, so once it’s gone it’s gone. Take a look at Larry’s other paintings too.
Wallpaper, flooring, stain, frame and painting are not included in the kit.
