With planned "glamping" (glamorous camping) excursions at an all-time high this summer, it's no wonder that tepees (also spelled "tipis" or "teepees") are popping up in the design world too. The conical tent design has been around for many hundreds of years, but as of late has emerged as a trend-setting accessory. Whether you're hosting a backyard bash or creating a rainy-day reading nook, tepees are appropriate indoors and out.
Using a DIY tutorial, I hope to whip up a tepee of my own this summer (although I imagine I will be tempted to purchase a kit). Either way, I officially dub the summer of 2012 the Summer of the Tepee.

While the adults chill and grill, the kids can have tepee time. If you're planning to keep it outside, look for a tepee made with weather-resistant fabric, such as Sunbrella.

Create the quintessential playroom with an indoor tepee. Fill it with stuffed animals and drape it with bunting, and you've got yourself a portable play resort.

A woven, hanging conical fort acts as a modern-day tepee. Called Nestrest, this hanging lounger is made by Dedon.

A tepee kit is quick and easy to assemble. Moozle carries loads of cuties.
| A tepee trellis is excellent for growing climbing vines in the veggie garden and adds an eye-catching vertical element to your patch of edibles. I especially love them for pole beans. Make one yourself by staking bamboo poles in the soil and tying them at the top with several layers of jute or strong garden twine. Or get a couple of ready-made garden tepees. |
