3. DIY Love Den: With Valentine’s Day rounding the corner, creating a cozy date night setting in your living room sounds like a lovely concept. All you really need are a few plush pillows, a velvety soft blanket and endless Champagne to toast the night away. Bonus: You don’t have to tip the waiter. (via Design Sponge)

4. DIY A-Frame Tent: When it comes to fort making, sometimes less is more. Creating a simple A-frame tent and then adorning the outside with whatever makes you and/or your kids smile will set your fort apart from all the others. (via Ana White)

5. Ultimate Pillow Fort: Creating the ultimate pillow fort takes years of experience, as well as a good arsenal of pillows. Gather all your comfy belongings together to create one cozy situation. After your home inside your home has been made, pop some popcorn and enjoy your new digs! (via Mom.Me)

6. Nursery Teepee: Adding an unexpected addition such as a miniature teepee to a nursery is not only a design *DO,* but it also gives your little one something to grow into. We love the minimalistic look of a modern black and white teepee with a fun rug and cute pillow for your curious new baby. (via Style Me Pretty)

7. Skyscraper Tent: Usually, forts and tents are ground level. But who wouldn’t want to play lookout with a tent that takes to the sky or, in this case, ceiling? Aside from the pretty heights, sleeping in this high-rise tent lets you snooze closer to the stars.

8. Hoop Tent: You can easily DIY this hula hoop tent situation in any room. Attach the top of the hoop to your ceiling and allow the tent’s sides to cascade around you while you camp indoors.

9. Blanket Fort: This idea is a dreamy one if you have little ones. Simply gather their favorite blankies and pillows and, with the help of some fishing line, string them into a tent-like shape. Be ready for many nights of lantern-lit storybook time inside the tent’s walls.
