Barbie fans can recreate their own dreamhouse bedroom – if they have seven thousand pounds to spare.
Interior experts at Online-Bedrooms.co.uk have calculated for ATV Today Lifestyle how much it would cost to transform a bedroom into Barbie’s pink paradise. The classic Barbie wardrobe is the most costly item in the room coming in at around £3,500 with its iconic glass panelling, inside hooks and fixtures.
Other items including the pink side tables and the clam-shaped bed come in a little cheaper. The total cost of the room, with the wardrobe, bed, side tables, vanity set, fluffy chair and stool and the bedroom to pool slide could set you back almost £7,000.
Nic Shacklock from Online-Bedrooms:
“It’s the film that’s on everyone’s lips this month, so don’t be surprised if you see people starting decorating their homes top to bottom in pink. Many of us get inspired by interior design choices in blockbuster films and there’s no doubt people will want to recreate their very own dreamhouse bedroom, or wardrobe at the very least. That’s why we wanted to calculate how much it would truly cost to replicate the dreamhouse bedroom, even if it means forking out thousands to live the Barbie fantasy.
“If anyone is going to take the jump and copy Barbie, be prepared to pay a heavy price tag.”
Here is what it’ll cost to replicate the Barbie movie’s dreamhouse bedroom
Barbie’s Wardrobe – £3,500
The glass panelling, the signature Barbie pink paint, the hooks for the clothes and the unit itself will push the price through the roof. If you want to recreate it at home it’ll cost an estimated £3,500 to decorate it Barbie-style.
clam bed – £585.39
If you want a clam bed frame identical to Barbie’s, one can be found online for just under £600. But if you want to copy the movie’s version, you’ll need to fork out extra for three baby pink pillows and a glittery duvet.
Pink side tables – £220.08
The least expensive part to recreate from the dreamhouse is the two pink side tables. It’ll set you back around £220 for the pair of simplistic, but chic, bedside tables.
Vanity set – £1,429.99
Barbie’s style is always perfected to the finest of details, which is why the vanity set is of the utmost importance to have if you’re copying her bedroom aesthetic. A similar set can be purchased online for under £1,500 in a lighter pink colour.
Fluffy chair and stool – £1,204.71
An almost exact replica of Barbie’s pink fluffy chair and stool can be ordered online for £1,200. The comfy pink teddy material will match perfectly with the clam bed and glammed-out wardrobe.
Bedroom-to-pool-slide – £300.18
How can you forget about the dreamhouse slide? The bedroom-to-pool-slide may be difficult to copy, but it’s not impossible. Two pink slides can be found online for £300, but it’ll need a lot of DIY work to make it a reality.
