A MUM has been slammed for her minimalist lifestyle, as trolls have said she’s depriving her kids of fun and colour in their bedroom decor.
Mum Nici divided opinion when she showed off her children’s minimalist bedrooms on Tiktok, with many viewers saying the rooms looked “sad” without decorations or toys.
The mum showed off her daughters’ bedroom and explained how mess is much more manageable in a minimalist household.
She said: “As minimalists but also a family of six, does our house still get messy? Yes.
“The difference is that it’s not an overwhelming amount of mess. For instance, this is the girls’ room and mostly it was just laundry that was on the floor and a few toys.”
The benefits of minimalism are clear for the mum, who only spent five minutes cleaning her daughters’ room from start to finish.
The bedroom contains two single beds with matching lilac bedding, throw cushions on each bed, and two stuffed toys.
This minimal approach to the girls’ room, which involved no paintings or posters on the walls and no apparent toys or play area, outraged many commenters.
One wrote: “At least let them have some art on the wall or something.”
“Why is there nothing on the walls? There’s no personality in their room, there’s beds, a dresser, and like four pairs of shoes??”, said another.
A third added: “Makes your life easier but their life sad.”
Some, however, were totally on board with the mum’s minimalist approach.
“This is what I envision my kids to have. Essentials and not too much of anything. Save time and money”, one viewer wrote.
Another added: “I sooo want to be a minimalist, I envy this lifestyle!”
Nici chose to adopt a minimalist lifestyle in 2019 after reading a book on the subject, and she now keeps very few objects in her home.
For more parenting stories, this woman had a traumatic first birth and then fell pregnant with triplets.
This mum-to-be is 38 weeks pregnant and caught the moment her bump “dropped” on camera.
And this lady’s bump is so small at 32 weeks that people refuse to believe she’s pregnant.
