THE Barbie movie isn’t set to be released until next year – but it’s already making waves, with washes of pink making its way through the interiors world.
Sweet, summery and sophisticated at the same time – depending how you pimp up your pink at home, it doesn’t all have to be baby and bubble-gum tones – pink happily resides in contemporary or classic room sets.
