Barbie’s Newest Dream House Has a Hammock Swing and Puppy Play Area

Whether you were lucky enough to own a Barbie DreamHouse growing up or simply coveted the impressive piece of plastic real estate the iconic doll and her pals spent their days in, few toys have inspired the level of awe and envy quite like the Barbie DreamHouse.

Mattel debuted an entire new look for the 2021 version of Barbie’s palatial pad ($179), and it’s complete with customizable lights and sounds, a pool slide, a hammock swing, and so much more.

Much like any influencer worth their salt, Barbie showed off her new digs in a 360-degree virtual tour, showing off all the new features included in the 12th version of the DreamHouse. This time, the home is fit for party guests and foodies alike, thanks to the newly added party room that includes a light-up DJ stand and an outdoor BBQ that transforms into a dessert buffet.

Along with 10 indoor and outdoor play areas, Barbie and her pals will soak up the sun in comfort, thanks to the pink pool slide directly off the purple deck and soft grass with a matching mini pool and slide. A hammock swing, puppy play area, and other amenities mean kids will especially love it — and adults will be low-key jealous of everything the plastic home has to offer. Of course, the working elevator is still included, and the new Barbie DreamHouse also has a wheelchair ramp.

One version of the DreamHouse that sadly isn’t for sale even got some organizational upgrades from Clea Shearer and Joanna Teplin of The Home Edit, Instagram’s favorite pro design and organizing duo, who were tapped by Mattel to add their colorful touches to her home. The pair worked their magic on her closet, fridge, and more, with Teplin telling Architectural Digest, their favorite part is the fridge. “It has these tiny little bins of fruits and veggies like we would have in our real fridge,” she said, adding, “So cute.”
