Barbiecore - the trend for being inspired by the style of the famous doll was started by the upcoming film "Barbie", directed by Greta Gerwig. The title role is played by Margot Robbie, while her partner Ken is played by Ryan Gosling. Already the first photos from the set showing the actress styled as Barbie made plenty of people fall in love with this aesthetic. Also contributing to the Barbiecore phenomenon was fashion house Valentino or more precisely, the brand's creative director, Pierpaolo Piccioli. The designer dedicated his fall-winter 2022 collection to the Valentino Pink shade. Then the Pantone Institute declared Viva Magenta the color of the year. All these elements translated into the fact that barbiecore has conquered the world, including interior design.

Life in pink
To create a barbiecore-style arrangement, you need one color. Pink. It is the one that plays the main role here. Mix different shades, from soft and powdery through neon to bishop pink. Magenta, which was chosen as the color of the year 2023, will also work great. You can also combine pink with white or gray for a soft arrangement. On the other hand, when paired with black, you will create an interesting contrast that refers to the glam rock aesthetic.

Sweet as candy
Accessories play an important role in barbiecore style. Pastel curtains, fuchsia-colored pillows or coral vases will bring an intriguing element to the interior. Don't be afraid of distinct prints, for example, with a flamingo motif. Pink neons with funny slogans will also be ideal, as well as any motifs referring to the beach, which will bring to mind the famous Malibu Barbie.

A touch of flash
In addition to pink, the other characteristic element of Barbiecore style interiors is shine. Silver, gold, glitter, satin, sequins. All this will find a place in such an arrangement. A crystal chandelier, a gold frame or shiny accessories will add a touch of "sweet" to the interior.

Bold combinations of materials
Artificial materials dominate the interior in the barbiecore style. You can combine elements made of transparent plastic or vinyl with colored glass, metal and pleasant-to-the-touch velour. Also, don't be afraid to bet on cozy but bold fabrics, such as a pink fur rug.
