Lighting & Electrical

You probably think of Houseworks as the company that makes so many of the wood components for a dollhouse: doors, windows, stairs, etc. And you’re right, that’s the way the company started in 1975. But just a few years later the line expanded to include lighting fixtures, quickly followed by the addition of transformers, replacement bulbs and wiring elements. That was only the beginning, and Houseworks has continued to add new styles and innovations in dollhouse lighting ever since.

Houseworks’ earliest options included the Tiffany-style table and hanging lamps that have become classics we still carry today – and are so popular that they are now available in battery-operated LED versions.

Like every other interior element, the style of lamps and lighting fixtures helps set a miniature scene in a specific time and place. A Tudor, Colonial or Victorian era can be brought to life with the wide variety of Houseworks fixtures that feature candles or perhaps resemble oil lamps. Electric lights bring us from the late 19th century into life today, with styles that fit into every decade.

And don’t forget all the components to make full-size electricity work safely in a miniature world. Whether your choice is a tapewire system or round wire, you’ll find the power strips, connectors, plugs and transformers you need, along with tools and materials to help as you go. Plus, the replacement bulbs and batteries you want to have on hand when some of life’s full-size realities arise. So, whether your project is a dollhouse that will be wired to illuminate with one satisfying flick of a switch, or a portable room box with individual battery-operated LED fixtures – or even a decorative display feature in your home – Houseworks has everything you need to light up a mini life!
