I created a minimalist bedroom for my toddler – trolls say it looks more like a ‘corporate office’ than a child’s haven | The Sun

A MUM showed off her toddler's freshly decorated bedroom but was slammed by trolls for the colourless design.

Sharing the transformation on Instagram, Heather Barta, who often shares tips for a 'simplified home', probably wasn't expecting such a strong backlash when she posted the clip.


The mum-of-three went for a very minimalist look, ditching bright colours and kitsch toys for neutral shades andmatching furniture.

When you think of a four-year-old's bedroom, the first thing that comes to mind is probably miles away from the space Heather created for her son.

"Kids rooms don't have to be jam-packed with STUFF for them to be happy," she captioned the clip.

"In fact, they might even play more when they have LESS.

"An easy to tidy space is more peaceful for everyone and allows for more time together," she added.

The bedroom features grey carpet, bedding and curtains, as well as cream and grey painted walls.

There are some toys – but they're out of sight for the most part.

The organised mum keeps a stack of "seasonal books" stored under a small grey side table.

And other toys like her tot's Lego collection are stored under his bed.

The rest are kept in baskets in the wardrobe, and plush toys are all together in a separate box – not crowding up his bed.

There's one small piece of artwork on the wall, as well as a plain-looking flag on a separate wall but both of them match the mum's simple design.

After posting the video of the bedroom viewers were quick state their own opinions of it.

"I've seen corporate offices with more personality and creativity. Poor kid," one commented.

A second jabbed: "Looks like a jail cell."

And a third wrote: "This looks proper depressing.

"There is no magic or fantasy in this room, I would never do that to my kids."

"They don't need to be full of stuff, but at least some more colour would be cool," someone else added.
