Embrace your inner Barbie and achieve the ultimate Barbiecore look in your home by organizing your Barbie collections. You can curate the perfect display for your children’s collection, accessories and playsets or your personal vintage dolls that capture the iconic style of Barbie. Here is how to achieve the iconic look with organized Barbie collections.

What is Barbiecore?

You might have heard the term Barbiecore and wondered what that is. Barbiecore is all about embracing bold and playful elements from bright pink hues to glittering accents. It celebrates girlhood nostalgia! This is perfect for lifelong collectors or for anyone who is just starting their Barbie journey. As a lover of Barbie and organized Barbies and accessories, I know a few things about fun and creative ways to showcase your personal style within organizing your collections.

Essentials to Organize Your Barbie Collection

To achieve the perfect Barbiecore look and to organize your Barbie Collection, you’ll need to have three essential elements:



1. Dolls: Obviously Barbie dolls are the centrepiece of any collection. When selecting dolls for your collection, consider the Barbiecore aesthetic. Look for dolls with:

  • Bright pink hues
  • Glittering accents
  • Vintage-inspired outfits.
  • Also, mix and match different eras

2. Accessories: These are what bring your Barbie collection to life. What will Barbie wear today? So think about shoes and jewelry, playsets and vehicles, and accessories to add a touch of realism to your display.

3. Display: Lastly, the display is what ties your Barbie collection together. You can incorporate shelves, mannequins, and other display fixtures to create an eye-catching display. If space is limited utilize the vertical space of your walls or the back of a blank door with shelves.

Now that you know the essential elements of a Barbiecore collection, let’s dive into some tips for organizing your collection. Here are a few ways you can organize your Barbies:

  • Sort by Era: This will make it easier to create a cohesive display that captures the essence of that time period. It will make your collection like a museum showcasing different parts of Barbie through the ages.
  • Shelf Unopened Packages: If you have Barbies in unopened packages you can use clear or pink shelves to display your Barbies boxes. For an added touch you can add light underneath the shelves to make your display really stand out.
  • Use Hanging Shoe Organizers: This is a great way for your kids to have their Barbies organized but also makes the dolls look like they are in their own sleeping bag or bed. If you want to make one, check out how I made one for my sister here!
  • Containers: Clear containers are by far an easy way to see what is inside your containers but you can also use vintage trunks as storage to add a touch of sophistication to your display.
  • Label Everything: I always suggest labelling your containers and shelves to make putting away or finding things easier for yourself and others instead of going through a pile of clutter.

Decorating your Space to Match the Barbiecore Aesthetic

If you are looking to achieve the perfect Barbiecore look, then you should think about decorating your space to match the aesthetic. Here are a few tips to help you match the Barbiecore aesthetic.

  1. Use Bright Pink Hues: Although pink may not be your favourite colour, Barbiecore is all about embracing bright pink hues. So you will need to incorporate pink accents throughout your space.
  2. Add Glittering Accents: You can’t have pink hues without glittering accents. When you look at any Barbiecore aesthetic glitter is always a must-have. Don’t have to go crazy with glitter but add little touches like a disco ball, glittering pillows or curtains.
  3. Incorporate Vintage-Inspired Decor: Another way is to add vintage-inspired decor to help capture the essence of Barbie’s iconic style. Think about decor like retro lamps or throw pillows. Depending on the era you decide, you can add a nod to trends from that era.

Of course, now that you’ve organized your Barbie collection, the last thing you want is to have it cluttered and not looking its best. The secret is to maintain the organization of your collection. Here are a few tips for maintaining the organization of your Barbie collection:

  • Clean Regularly: Dust can accumulate pretty quickly if you are not regularly cleaning. You may think that you should overlook this part but it truly is an essential part of maintaining your collection. Therefore, dust your dolls and accessories regularly.
  • Rotate Your Display: Give your Barbie display a refresh! Change things around regularly to keep it visually appealing. You can easily do this by adding in new dolls and accessories or even consider changing the placement of items.
  • Remain Organized: Remember to put things back when you are done with them, and continue to label your containers and shelves.
