In Barbie land, everything is Pink. Everyone loves Pink. And there is no such thing as too much pink! And with the Barbie movie releasing worldwide yesterday July 21, 2023; the sudden surge of the Barbiecore trend is only expected, isn't it? Now, speaking of Barbie's pad, it features a dreamy and cheery vibe.

And there always will be a dash or more of pink in every nook and corner. From wall design, and dining table overlay to the toaster in the play kitchen, every design and decor element of Barbie's home features pink or purple hue in tones and shades. Simply put, to ace the Barbiecore design trend, just follow the monochromatic colour palette to design any room or corner!

Note that, Barbie-inspired decor is predominantly pinkish only. And it is not necessary that you have to make your entire space feel like a pink land! You can add Barbie decor aesthetics in a minimal way and still achieve the desired look.

So, if you as a homeowner don't mind experimenting with the Barbie-approved design ideologies, then we got some perfect home decor ideas for you!

Introduce a Pink Seating

Barbie's decor aesthetics are a fine blend of mid-century modern and contemporary design styles. You can select a couch or sofa in pink and work it as a statement piece in your living room or lounge area. For decorating the couch, accent cushions in pink or purple tones can make an exciting addition. Textured cushions like sequin, etc can perfectly add that Barbie-like appeal!

Add a Tone on Tone Look

If adding the 'pink everywhere' is not an ideal choice for you then select any one room or area and give it a Barbiecore feel. For example, you can design your bedroom in a monochromatic colour scheme and introduce wall design, furniture pieces, and soft furnishings in the variants of pink hue. Complement it with gold-tone metals with lights, wall frames, and decor objects to make the room feel complete and exciting!

Plush Fabrics are a Must

When it comes to selecting fabrics for your home, think beyond the regular cotton and linens. For example, select plush velvet upholstery, exciting fur throw pillows, shag rug, textured curtains and more. Make sure to feature at least 2 or 3 different textures to add a sense of warmth and excitement to a chosen room!

Think Whimsy for Decor

At the crux, remember that Barbie is a kid's toy so she will always be filled with imagination. You can mirror a similar decor ideology by adding "out of the box" decor objects. From the bubble-shaped chandelier, tree-inspired floor lamp, wave-shaped decor mirror, candy-shaped accent pillow, Barbie heels wall print, and more; you have the creative freedom to define the space by thinking like the Mattel doll!

Say Yes to Hot Pink

If your home or space is defined by a neutral colour scheme, then adding a dash of hot pink hue will provide a perfect Barbiecore touch to it. It could be a throw, wall art, sculpture, flower vase, planter, or even a coffee table book about Barbie!

Select Plastic Objects

If you ever owned a Barbie before or have a little bit idea about Barbie's playhouse or world, then you must know that she and her world is made of plastic. You can select plastic objects that can be recycled later (coz, Barbie being a kind soul, won't wish to hurt the environment around her). For example, a mid-century design-inspired dining room furniture in plastic can make an apt choice. Or quality plastic furniture i.e. cabinets, shelves, study chairs, and table for the study room can make an apt choice!
