Little Coloured Bricks

Whether you are looking into purchasing a suburban bungalow or a tiki Spongebob-inspired shelter, building houses with Lego has always been possible and of course, fun. The keyword here is fun, fun, fun. If you are planning to create a Lego house right in your own backyard, it would be best if you base it on your own house. If you think that is a bit boring, then go for a grander one and base it on houses featured in architecture magazines.

For first-time Lego builders, starting small is the best way to go. Build a cabin for your kids by taking a base plate then make a rectangle that will be able to accommodate children. Building a house out of Lego bricks takes a lot of effort and time so if you do not have much time to do it, make something that is not life-size.

A ranch house is easy to build. Use a base plate and create your ranch house’s outline. Once you are done start stacking those Lego bricks. Make sure that you leave gaps for your doors and windows. When done with the first level of your Lego ranch house, you can now decorate. You can make beds, couches, chairs, tables and other furniture and appliances inside your Lego home.

You would have to decide though if you want a second floor for your house. If not, go ahead and proceed with the roof. Get a combination of angled bricks, angled tiles and flat plates. Strip pieces are advisable if you want your Lego ranch house to look rustic.

If you do not want to do your own design, you can try making custom Lego houses. They come with instructions and all the parts that you need –making it easier to build your very own Lego house. Have fun!
