doll house

Miniature furnished home

A doll house is a miniature model of a house, furnished with tiny furniture and accessories, used as a children's toy or adult collectible.

The spelling varies: dollhouse is standard in American English, doll's house in British.

Figuratively, a doll house suggests something precious but confining—Henrik Ibsen's play *A Doll's House* explores a wife's escape from a stifling domestic role.
