Printable are designs that can be printed out at home and then be stuck to a hard support material like cardboard in order to be cut out. They are the most affordable option.

Utmost care should be taken while setting up your dollhouse, as it demands patience and an attention to detail. After all, while you may live in your dream house, this is where your dreams live!
