The Best Barbie-Inspired Kid’s Bedroom Ideas
Come on Barbie, let’s go party! All the way to the kid’s furniture shop…
Thanks to Greta Gerwig’s Barbie film, which sees Margot Robbie and her newly flat feet venture into the real world, Barbie-mania is sweeping the nation! Inspired by the delightfully pink Barbie Land, we’ve seen kids of all ages clamouring for a Barbie-themed bedroom.
If you and your little one want to redecorate, here are our top tips to create a Barbie kid’s room to rival the Dreamhouse. Spoiler alert: there’s a lot of pink!
1. Choose a Barbie-Worthy Kid’s Bed
Every main character needs a statement bed in which to start and end their day (after their latest blow-out party with all the Barbies!)
Give your little one a dreamy centre to their Dreamhouse with one of our Cuckooland kid’s beds. The Willow Kids Day Bed can be easily accessorised with pink cushions, bedding and lights, to create the ultimate centrepiece for your Barbie kid’s bedroom.
We find the day bed style with rails on three sides also makes this ideal for younger children, as it helps them stay safely in bed and stops toys from escaping down the back!
For even greater impact, you could choose a four-poster option for your child’s Barbie bed, such as our Lifetime Butterflies Four Poster Bed.
Made from FSC-certified sustainable pine wood, this beautiful kid’s bed comes with a removable pink canopy with embroidered butterflies. It’s sure to make your little one feel like they’re flying high and living their dream!
There are a multitude of optional extras you can purchase with this bed, including a trundle drawer, a hanging storage box, a clip-on table, and a personalised nameplate, so they can really make this bed their own – just like Barbie would do.
This has to be the ultimate Barbie kid’s bed! The incredible Mathy by Bols Treehouse Bunk Bed with Slide comes in 26 colours, including four pretty pink shades that are perfect for Barbie-themed rooms.
Everyone knows Barbie doesn’t walk down the stairs in the morning – she flies, or she glides! And so will your little one, thanks to the awesome slide built into this bed. The bunk bed style also makes this a great option for room sharers, if you have more than one Barbie or Ken on your hands.
2. Add ‘Stereotypical’ Pink Storage
Every kid’s room needs storage – even a Barbie one. The Casami Beach House Cupboard in Pink is exactly the kind of thing we’d expect to find in Barbie’s Malibu Beach House.
Inside this quirky cabinet, you’ll find plenty of shelving to accommodate all their toys, books and outfits – including everything from their pink boiler suits to their doctor’s scrubs!
Vipack’s Billy Bedside Table in Pink is the ideal spot for your little dreamer to keep their drink, bedside light and favourite Barbie close by at night.
Two drawers offer plenty of internal storage space and the gold-tipped feet and handles add a glamorous edge to your little one’s doll-themed bedroom. Stereotypical Barbie would approve!
If you need more space for storage, look no further than the Vox Concept 2 Door Wardrobe. This comprehensive wardrobe has two cupboards – one with a hanging rail – two drawers, and three adjustable shelves, so your little one can keep all their clutter organised.
It’s available in a range of colours to complement the monochrome grey shades, including pastel pink. This stylish option has more longevity than themed kid’s furniture and is a good choice for older children or teenagers who want a more subtle nod to the Barbie trend.
3. Create a ‘Doll’ Dressing Area
Adding a dressing table to your child’s room gives them a dedicated space to prepare for the day ahead, and could also double as a desk if your little one needs a place to study or craft.
The Vipack Billy Dressing Table is the perfect place for Barbie to get ready in the morning, before a busy day of dismantling the patriarchy. The small storage drawer is a great spot to keep jewellery and hair accessories – and, unlike Margot Robbie’s dressing table, this one has a real mirror!
4. Perch on Pretty Seating
Whether it’s to sit at their dresser to style their hair, or their desk to study for exams, our Vox Tuli Stackable Stools provide convenient seating for your Barbie-inspired kid’s room.
They’re available in a range of pastel shades, including a yellow/pink combo that will perfectly complement a pink Barbie bedroom. Pair it with the matching Tuli Desk for a cohesive look Barbie would be proud of.
5. Add Aspirational Bedding
Remember, the best thing about Barbie is that she can be anything she wants to be!
Inspire your little one to shoot for the stars and achieve their dreams with one of our photographic SNURK duvet sets. From ballerina to baseball player, firefighter to astronaut, these incredible kid’s bedding sets show a fraction of what the future could hold for them if they want it.
Plus, we guarantee SNURK’s super-soft 100% cotton construction will be a lot more comfortable than the plastic sheets in Barbie’s Dreamhouse!
Are you Feeling the Ken-ergy?
Of course not, it’s not about Ken! Use these Barbie-inspired kid’s beds, furniture and accessories to create the ultimate Barbie kid’s room for your mini-dreamer.
