What are the options for colour schemes?

You can choose up to four colours to create your own heritage colour scheme. Select from any readily available colours from your local paint supplier.
Interiors are painted white, unless alternate arrangements have been made for additional detailing.The main paints we use are Dulux, Solver, Taubmans and Watlyl. Kits are unpainted  MDF.

Are they sturdy as I want something that will last?

The dollhouses are made from medium density fibreboard (MDF), the windows are moulded plastic and hard-wearing. If the house is to be used by a young child, consider leaving the front off to provide easier access.
The houses are routered, nailed and glued together, so they are designed to be played with.
