How I Met Your Mother was one of the most [recognizable sitcoms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-office-set) in global history as it ran for nine years and [LEGO](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-ideas-the-office) Ideas captures moments with a reimagined design comprised of 1,300 pieces and six minifigures. The model is comprised of a kitchen, bathroom, living room, and both Ted's bedrooms and Marshall and Lily's bedroom.

All of the rooms are imagined as a subtle nod to reference memorable moments in the show, allowing fans to celebrate the series. Fans can see the small details that make up Ted's apartment including the cluttered kitchen and the cozy living room. All of the rooms are meant to be a celebration of the set that became a comfortable and humorous space for millions of viewers. The How I Met Your Mother Ideas set comes from LEGO builder Dreamnbricks.
