PINK, FEMININE AND COMING TO A HOME NEAR YOU

______________________________

The Barbiecore interior design trend is soaring thanks to the convergence of multiple cultural moments.  Greta Gerwig's highly anticipated Barbie movie is a hit in cinemas and 2023 finds us well into the resurgence of 90s and 00s fashion and its bright, sweet styles.

So what is Barbiecore? This a rising trend in home decor and interior design across social media platforms inspired by the iconic Barbie doll and her glamorous lifestyle. The style embraces a bold, playful, and nostalgic aesthetic mainly characterised by vibrant colours, luxurious textures, and a touch of retro charm. If you are looking to get the look in your home, consider incorporating the following elements...

Choose a bright and lively colour palette reminiscent of of Barbie Land. Think pinks, purples, blues, and other vibrant hues like lime green, turquoise, and hot orange.

****
Opt for sleek and modern furniture with a touch of elegance, a chic acrylic coffee table, or a curvy vintage-inspired armchair or alternatively, one big statement piece like a pink velvet sofa.

****
Incorporate plush and luxurious textures such as faux fur, velvet, and satin and introduce glamorous elements like mirrored surfaces and metallic accents in gold or rose gold decorative pieces to the lift the space and evoke Barbie's glamorous lifestyle.

****
Embrace bold and playful patterns like polka dots, chevron, stripes, or florals. Use them in wallpapers, area rugs, throw pillows, and bedding.

****
Finally, Hang mirrors with ornate frames, eye catching crystal lighting and decorative art pieces or fashion illustrations. You could also accessorise with Barbie dolls and mini couture items as display pieces.

START YOUR BARBIE AESTHETIC VIA YOUR WINDOWS

A great way to incorporate the look into existing decor is simply by adding smaller pink accents, although going in big and pink with your window dressing could be the best way to achieve maximum impact with minimum effort.

Remember that trends can evolve over time, so it's always a good idea to make changes to your window furnishings or smaller items rather than an entire pink overhaul!
