What is Barbiecore for the Modern Woman?
Gretta Gerwig’s Barbie movie has taken pop culture by storm and its influence has spread from fashion to home decor. When we think Barbie, we typically think neon hot pinks, saccharine pastels, and tiny plastic shoes you step on in the middle of the night on your way to the fridge for a sneaky late night snack.
Most sites will tell you that Barbiecore is all glitter and nail polish, feathers, fringe, and pink everything from head to toe. We think she deserves more than the stereotypical representation she’s been dealt.
We’ve put together a truly gorgeous, layered, and sophisticated master bedroom design that will inspire big dreams while providing a tranquil sanctuary from the demands of the patriarchy.

Iconic Style Meets the Modern Woman
Barbie is more than high heels and fabulous outfits. She’s iconic. She’s had a major impact not only on fashion, but relationship dynamics, and exposing how women feel they need to show up in the world.
Today’s Barbie is modern, sophisticated and chic. She’s leading teams, running her own business, and making her mark in the world. Barbiecore done right exudes timeless elegance and graceful style. Doesn’t she deserve a beautiful bedroom to rest her perfectly coiffed head after a long day of taking over the world?
If you’re tired of seeing garish, half-baked hot pink rooms and calling it Barbiecore, our Barbie bedroom is a gorgeous dream bedroom for the grown-ass woman.
This isn’t your stereotypical sleeping space. Our Barbie is much more nuanced and style-informed. We’ve put together a modern bedroom design that will get you the best beauty sleep of your life.
