Life in plastic — it’s fantastic.
A three-story home with a DJ booth and a two-story waterslide that spills into a pool — not to mention a puppy play area with a pool and its own slide, as well as panoramic views in every direction — doesn’t have to come at a high cost. It only runs you $179.
Welcome to Barbie’s new Dreamhouse, which the famed doll moved into last month — and is now available for purchase via Amazon, Target and Walmart.
As opposed to Barbie’s first pad released in 1962, which featured midcentury-style furnishings and built-in shelves, this 2021 version is more Instagrammable.
The living area has a bubblegum-pink couch, a windowed kitchen has mod-looking yellow seats at a breakfast nook — and a bedroom shows off bunk beds that fold down from the wall.
It isn’t just for imaginative play, and not just for children. With this new Dreamhouse comes Barbie’s favorite décor picks for fans to make their own dream homes.
Similar to the doll house’s living room couch, folks can deck out their own living spaces with a bright pink sofa. There’s a 78-inch Chenille Square Arm Sofa, mid-century in its look, which converts into a bed and matches the aesthetic.
It’s not all pink. For a pop, but a more subtle one, a yellow Deco Chair from Skyline Furniture offers chic seating in spaces that may not have as much room for a sleeper sofa.
Wooden legs still offer that mid-century feel and the frame provides comfort.
Barbie’s DJ booth is capped with a small disco ball, and your home can also have some dazzle.
A chrome and crystal chandelier also has a spherical shape, and four lights inside make it glow, for less than $200.
For something more edgy, and similar to a suspended chair included in the Dreamhouse, a 41-inch-wide Swivel Balloon Chair by Trule makes for easy swinging while sitting.
Leather-wrapped cushions and a clear acrylic plastic surround make for a sleek interior addition.
