The woman who has it all gets her California dream house, thanks to the HGTV team and their designer duels. Fun, fashion, and style come together, and Shelfology’s vibrant storage solutions play a starring role, giving everyone’s favorite plastic blonde bombshell a place to call home. We're thrilled to bring you a behind-the-scenes look at how the Shelfology brand made its mark on HGTV’s Barbie’s Dreamhouse Challenge, alongside some of our favorite elements from this pinkalicious project. This inviting exterior is a splash of brightness and freshness, with signature pops of pink and teal that feel like a mix of "Saved by the Bell" and "Fresh Prince." We can't wait to step inside and see what this space holds! Geometric patterns dominate this playful entryway to a dreamy space. Bold colors steal the spotlight, while simple furniture shapes keep things fresh. Have you ever thought about using an Aksel floating shelf as an entryway console? We love it! Continuing the bold color theme, the designers added built-in seating, turning the dining area into a cozy nook. Crystal chairs and vibrant furniture stand out, while the art and patterns scream “Trapper Keeper†and “Let’s go to the mall!†We’re totally transported back to the '90s. Our favorite seating spot in this room? The unexpected orange bench in the bay window. Sherbet pastels and bright pops of orange and pink tie in the dining space, creating a nostalgic nod to 1960s kitchen modernism. Our little Lloyd hangs from the ceiling in aqua blue, adding open shelves for easy access to the adjacent room. We adore the soft, buttery tones of the fridge, oven, and range, reminiscent of grandma’s comforting casseroles. The real surprise? The futuristic pop-up storage on the island, paying homage to the innovation of the era. This cozy room is a polka-dot paradise with a fresh modern twist. The couch, adorned with plaid pastels, evokes images of cuddling up with our very own Kens. And let’s not overlook Barbie’s notable achievement: astronaut! Truly inspiring. As Julia Roberts once said, “My colors are ‘Blush’ and ‘Bashful.’†Barbie’s bedroom echoes this sentiment with pastels of pink versus pink in complementary tones. For us, the highlight is the bed draped with hanging panels that exudes those ‘Yasss, queen’ vibes. Not everyone has as many wigs as Ken (we hear he loved hairpieces). If you’re in the same boat, consider Aksel inlaid with metal for a pop of color and core magnetism to keep your precious wigs in place. A question lingers: what will static electricity do with Ken’s hair as he relaxes on the blue velvet couch? Change is inevitable, and in this case, it’s irresistibly chic, as patterned wallpapers take us back to the original 1950s toy designs. Displays around the room showcase Barbie through the years, and the lounge chair offers a cozy spot to rest and reflect. That tufted round pillow? Très jolie, indeed—very Parisian. A fashion icon with a fishtank in her office? Oui, bien sûr. Cher Horowitz might have the best automated closet in Beverly Hills, but we all know where she got the inspiration! This closet was designed for a very busy leading lady, with ample space and storage. For an understated decor statement, check out the Barbie-toile pillows—they’re divine. Google them now! To us, the most quintessential “dream house†space. This homage perfectly captures the iconic plastic dollhouse, complete with a must-have slide and pool in purple and pink, a plethora of beach accessories, and enough palm trees to make any California girl happy.
