Do ceilings seem higher to dwarfs?



I was reading about this elaborate, fully furnished playhouse (there have been many of them in history) (like for the British Royals in the 1930's) , where everything was built on about a 6-year-old child's scale. And I thought, "Oh! A dwarf would love that...where everything was exactly their size!"

But then I thought, "No, they would just feel claustrophobic and cramped if a room were scaled down to their size, because the scale of the way things are in the standard, everyday world is just what they've been accustomed to their whole lives."

Or....would they like smaller rooms, furniture, etc?

What does this have to do with GoT?

The show has a dwarf in it, and constitutes my complete exposure to them (aside from The Wizard of Oz.)

One of the best characters is a dwarf so Cookie was just wondering...
I thought it was a good question

I have zero experience with the topic of being a dwarf or even ever meeting one
But id bet i would prefer all things to be built to my scale if i was a dwarf
Smaller couch, tables etc would probably be great for them
Cookie...i think you may have just thought up a great business idea $$$

yes, it's about 2 to 3 ft higher to a dwarf than a non-dwarf. I have 1st hand experience in this, so u can trust me.
