Add Barbie’s Distinctive Style to Your Home

Barbie's trendy design style is called “Barbiecore” — it’s pink and it’s fun!

First and foremost, think pink. If the hot pink of Barbie fame is a bit too bold for your style, there are numerous shades of pink you can choose from. Maybe do an accent wall in a deep shade of pink and paint the flanking walls a more subtle shade of salmon.

If pink paint of any shade is a bridge too far, there are plenty of other colors in the Barbiecore palette to choose from. A lovely mint or a pale blue might be nice, for example. Or take a cue from Barbie’s wardrobe, where bright yellow is often featured.

When considering Barbiecore furnishings, think plush, cozy and lounge-worthy. Settees and sofas that offer a comfy place to curl up would fit into your Barbie-inspired decor just fine.

Home fragrance and lifestyle brand Homesick has collaborated with Mattel to create the Barbie Dreamhouse candle. The flowery scents of rose and jasmine are sure to add a dreamy aura to your home.

As you plan your Dreamhouse, don’t neglect the lighting, which offers a fantastic way to incorporate Barbiecore. Consider adding a whimsical light fixture — one featuring dozens of glass butterflies, or a fixture with glowy glass bubbles.

Whatever pieces you add to your Dreamhouse, make sure they feature waves and curves. Barbie’s style is soft and flowy, not sharp and edgy — but it’s also polished.

If a Barbie-inspired rug would suit your space, consider Barbie x Ruggables: The Dreamhouse Collection, a group of rugs created by Ruggables in collaboration with Mattel. The collection includes four rugs and two doormats, and while pink is represented, there are other color options, as well.
