IKEA is really doing its part to brighten up lockdown. First, it released the recipe for its world-famous Swedish meatballs and gravy, and now it has published instructions on how to make six different kinds of fort.

IKEA Russia created the fort designs in collaboration with advertising agency Instinct as part of a quarantine campaign encouraging people to stay home. In typical IKEA style, instructions are simple, consisting only of images.

Each fort uses IKEA products as well as items that can be found at home, from blankets to books. While you can get all the products at IKEA, these can also be replaced with non-IKEA furnishings.

Cåmpingtent takes a more rustic, outdoorsy approach to the fort by using a Mulig clothing rack. The inside, however, is elevated with an octopus-shaped hanging dryer and a string of lights.
