IKEA’s New Quarantine Campaign Shows Us 6 Interesting Ways To Build A Blanket Fort
IKEA has launched a new campaign encouraging people to stay at home.
IKEA Russia turned quarantine boredom into something a lot more fun, and the result is a set of blanket fort ideas that feel perfectly timed for families stuck at home.
Created by Instinct Creative Agency in Moscow, the campaign shows six playful ways to build furniture forts using everyday items you probably already have around the house. It keeps the familiar IKEA look, but swaps in a stay-at-home twist that is easy to follow and hard to ignore.
From castles to caves, these designs are a clever way to keep kids busy for a while. Scroll down and see which fort you would build first.
1. The Cåstle
The castle can easily be made with four chairs, a blanket, some laundry pins, and a coat stand to form a tower. You can also spice it up with some fairy lights.
Tumblr2. The Förtress
To assemble the fortress, rearrange the sofa cushions to create the walls and use bed sheets for the roof. For extra comfort inside the fortress, you can add some pillows and a blanket.
Tumblr3. The Wigwåm
The wigwam, which uses a coat rack and some sheets, is a more teepee-shaped fort. To complete the fairy tale look, just add battery-operated string lights.

It’s a lot like this AITA where a person refuses to host relatives in a tiny apartment during a housing crisis, even with kids involved.
4. The Höuse
To build the house, you’ll need a table, two sheets, a few books, and laundry pins.

5. The Cåmping Tent
To create this indoor camping tent, all you need is a clothing rack and a blanket. For decoration, you can use an octopus-shaped hanging dryer and a string of lights.

6. The Cåve
The cave is probably the easiest one. You just need a blanket, some books, and a chair to assemble this interesting playhouse.
