Bathroom Ideas

The highly-anticipated Barbie movie has sparked a pink frenzy that has, unsurprisingly, spilled over into interior design.

 We've jumped on board the "Barbiecore" trend to bring you 7 fabulous pink bathroom ideas that'll turn your home into your very own Barbie DreamHouse!

The new Barbie movie is finally here, and, while it may not be everybody’s cup of tea, it's bringing a whole new wave of pink inspiration with it. In fact, searches for “pink bathrooms” have increased by a whopping 149% over the past month! So, if you're a fan of the iconic doll's signature style, or simply feel like adding a lighter, brighter tone to your décor, then you're sure to love these pink bathroom ideas.

From soft pastels to bold neons, there's a shade of pink for everyone. And with a little creativity, you can easily transform your bathroom into a stylish and, dare we say it, girly oasis! Your very own Barbie Dream House, in fact! To get you started, we’ve come up with the following 7 Barbie-inspired pink bathroom ideas.

 

1. Start with your walls

Painting, tiling or covering your walls with a pink hue is a great way to set the tone for your Barbie-inspired bathroom. If you're feeling bold, go for a bright shade like Barbie pink (yes, it is an actual colour!). Or, if you prefer something more subtle, try a pastel pink like blush or rose. Chalky pastels have been become a big trend in bathrooms over the past few years, with pink and blue being one of the top colour combinations for bathrooms.

Why not consider adding in some on-trend black accents, like a shower screen, taps and heating, for an even more contemporary vibe?

2. Bewitch your bathroom with pink hex tiles

Another great way to bring your bathroom to life is through the use of geometric shapes. Hexagonal tiles are a great example of this trend and you'll find a stunning range of pink shades that'll make a real style statement.

These beautiful tiles, from our hexagon tile range by Calcolo, bring a sense of dynamism to any space, adding visual interest and making a small bathroom feel bigger. So, it's hardly surprising they're so popular right now. Why not use them across your floor and zone a particular section of your bathroom, like the area around your bath. This'll help highlight any standout features, like a freestanding tub, and provide a different feel underfoot.

One thing you should never be afraid of is mixing and matching different shades or tones. When it comes to pink, there are no rules. Why not try rose hexagon wall tiles. They come in a variety of different shades for a dappled design?

3. Create a blush backdrop with shower wall panels

For a quicker and more cost-effective alternative to tiles, why not consider pink shower wall panels for your Barbie-inspired bathroom update? With no grout lines or obvious joins, they'll provide a seamless backdrop to your boutique bathroom, with a range of pink shades from blush to bright. For a simple, rose pink wall, acrylic matt rose shower wall panels (pictured below) is a great choice.

4. A dream duo

Just like Barbie and Ken, some things go together really well, so why not consider a combination of tiles and shower wall panels for your rose-tinted retreat? Metro tiles have been a big bathroom trend for many years, and you'll be delighted to know they also come in blush pink! For a bathroom that really pops, complement with white grout and cover the interior of your shower area with pink acrylic shower wall panels.

5. Splash the colour with a pink countertop basin

Whether you've chosen a pink base colour for your walls and floors or not, you can certainly begin adding in some pink accents.

A far cry from those salmon pink bathroom suites of the 1980s, colourful ceramics are making a comeback—much like Barbie herself! And, by adding a pink countertop basin, you can quickly and easily create your very own Barbie-inspired spa bathroom.
