6 IKEA Castle Ideas To Build In Your House

1. Fortress

First and foremost, the fort is the most basic of the 6 castles which is made up of the common couch cushions, a few pillows to be erected as walls and a sheet to be your top shelter (roof). Throw in a few pegs and you can now hide comfortably inside your fort while eating your snacks right in front of the TV. Make sure to keep the remote with you.

> 2. House

If you need a bigger space, IKEA suggest that you build a House inside your house! This is quite familiar with a lot of us and in fact it can be equally easy to build. Go under a table, spread a few sheets and secure them together with your pegs and books. Voila you have build yourself a play tent. Make sure to illuminate your house with a lamp and yeah put your Teddy bear at the entrance to keep out intruders.

3. Camping Tent

Want to be in something more adventurous? Why don't you build a Camping Tent then? Very similar to the House, your Camping Tent can be erected with a clothes rack instead of a table. That way it will look more like a tent (of course) right? Again, secure the loose ends with pegs and books and make sure to make your Camping Tent comfortable by padding the floor with your parents' pillows. Ouh~you want a starry night? Hook up some light bulbs and you can start sharing some spooky tales inside.

4. Cave

Want something a bit more primitive? I mean simpler? Then you definitely have to try building a Cave! All you need to start building your Cave is an arm chair as your anchor. Then tuck a sheet into the arm chair and use a few books to secure the sheet and you will have your very own man cave. Still I think your little one will love hiding inside this little cave with you sitting next to him.

5. Wigwam

Fancy building yourself something more challenging? Then I suggest you try this Wigwam which resembles the native Red Indian house. To build this, you will need a coat and hat stand. The stand will be the center of your Wigwam, then wrap it with a few sheets from the top. Don't forget to secure your sheets with lots of heavy books. Hook up some LED bulbs at the entrance and you have your very own Red Indian tepee tent!

6. Castle

Last but not least is the elaborate Castle! To build this "majestic" castle, IKEA suggests that you use four chairs to build your indestructible walls. Then at the center of your castle, place your coat stand for the roof to be propped up. Since this is a castle, you want to make it as grandeur as possible right? Make sure you hang those Christmas light bulbs and add many pillows so that it is very, very comfortable inside. After all this is a castle you are building for a King and Queen right?
