Production designer Sarah Greenwood and set decorator Katie Spencer lived the ultimate Barbie fan’s dream when they designed the world in which Stereotypical Barbie (Margot Robbie) and her friends live. To make Barbie Land as epic as it was, Spencer and Greenwood went to the source: buying their own Barbie Dream House and analyzing it for ideas. 

They were struck by the details in the house, particularly what was a physical item versus what was a decal attached to the hard surfaces of the house. It was something they used when showcasing Barbie’s first breakfast. Barbie opens a physical refrigerator that’s filled with a giant sticker of all her food.
