Barbie Room Decorate

Bare shelves and a rolling rack greet you when Barbie Room Decorate starts, and the first choice is usually the color of the rack itself or the backdrop wall. Hanging the first jacket on the rack changes the whole feel of the room, since the rest of the shelves fill in around that starting piece.

The closet fills in by fixture: a hanging rack for jackets and dresses, a shoe cubby stacked in rows, and a jewelry box that opens to show rings and bracelets. A full-length mirror leans against one wall, and a small vanity with a stool sits opposite it. Fabric swatches and a mood board of magazine cutouts pin to a corkboard, layering over the wall color instead of replacing it.

What separates this from a plain room decorating game is the wardrobe-and-styling focus, since nearly every prop ties back to getting dressed instead of to a couch or television. A round ends when the last shelf or rack is filled and the closet reads as one finished set, ready to sit there as the backdrop for whatever outfit gets picked next.

Group hangers by color along the rack before adding shoes, since a sorted rack reads cleaner in the finished scene than a mixed one. Match the mirror frame or vanity finish to the rack's metal tone so the fixtures look bought together. Fill the corkboard last, once the rest of the closet is set, so the swatches you pin actually match colors already in the room.
