An indoor cubby house is a small, enclosed play structure designed for children to enjoy imaginative play inside the home. In simple terms, it’s a mini indoor “house” or fort, often made from wood, fabric, or modular panels, providing a fun and safe space for kids to play, read, or relax.
The main reason Australians love indoor cubby houses is that they encourage creativity, physical activity, and independent play, while fitting neatly into living rooms, bedrooms, or playrooms without needing outdoor space.
Indoor cubby houses come in several varieties to suit different Australian homes and children’s needs:
Wooden Cubby Houses
Durable, often with low-profile designs
Can be decorated with chalkboards, curtains, or shelves
Fabric & Tent-Style Cubby Houses
Lightweight and portable
Collapsible options make storage easy
Modular & DIY Cubby Kits
Panels or connectors allow kids or parents to build custom designs
Flexible and expandable
Playhouse with Furniture
Includes seating, mini tables, or shelves for extra play value
Theme-Based Cubby Houses

Perfect for themed bedrooms or playrooms
Floor Cushioned or Soft Play Cubby Houses
Foam or padded bases for younger children
Safe for indoor use without hard surfaces
