This TikTok Will Make You Want to Paint Your BILLY Bookcase Hot Pink

Barbie mania仍在全力,这意味着Barbiecore home decoris officially here to stay even long after the beloved film has left the big screen. If you want toinfuse some of Barbie’s signature styleinto your spacewithoutbreaking the bank, one TikToker is making the case for transforming yourIKEA BILLY bookcaseinto something a little more whimsical.

TikTokerCasey Mosesis a book cover designer (which — side note — might just be the coolest job on the planet), and that means book storage and display is a pretty crucial component in her home. In 2022, Moses transformed an empty bedroom into her “dream design studio,” taking the room from your standard white paint and beige flooring into somethingfully Barbie-approved.

She painted the room’s walls a bubblegum hue, leaving one accent wall a vibrant shade of green. Then, she hand-sketched a floral mural onto the green wall using sidewalk chalk and varying shades of green, pink, white, and yellow — alabor of lovethat no doubt paid off in spades.

The statement piece of the room, of course, is the比利书柜, which she hand-painted hot pink for thefull Barbiecore effect. Moses took the plain white bookcase to an evenbrighter white shadewith primer before diving into the custom pink hue, sharing in the comments section that she asked her local hardware store to shade-matchBehr Beauty Queen. She noted thatBenjamin Moore Hot Lipswould give a similar vibe.

Moses shared in the comments section that she was careful to wait a few days before putting any books onto the shelves just in case the paint might transfer, but the end result is bold and beautiful… andtotally Barbie.

On the heels of the film’s release, it seems Moses is still loving her paint choice,calling them“the pink bookshelves of my dreams, I’m still not over it.”
