A dollhouse is a miniature replica of a standard house. They are most commonly associated with children's doll play, in which familiar domestic situations are simulated for play value, but the making, decorating, and display of dollhouses also forms a hobby for adults.
The term dollhouse is common in the United States and Canada. In UK usage, doll's house or dollshouse is usual.
As a children's hobby, dollhouses are typically sized to be appropriate for available dolls, and range in complexity from ad-hoc structures to sophisticated replicas of actual houses.
