QuestionI'm an 11-year-old girl and I'm trying to go minimalist, but my family are hoarders. What should I do?
Community AnswerYou could just stick to maintaining a minimalist bedroom, but you might also try talking it over with your family. Maybe you could convince them to get rid of some stuff they don't need anymore, or at least put some things away in an attic, basement, or storage unit. -

QuestionMy room is bright teal. Should I paint it white?
Community AnswerThat's up to you! If teal is getting old, then you can paint it white, but adding wall art and posters are also great ways to keep a room fun or just change things up. I suggest mandalas, because they are colorful and trendy!

QuestionWhat do do about babies and children? What would a minimalist do about toys? If I hide them, they can’t get on their own. Montessori style is minimal but should be viewable and accessible by children.
Michelle HansenCommunity AnswerBuy toys that are high quality so they won't break as easily. They are more durable and therefore, there is less waste and less need to purchase more. I would consider rotating their toys so that you don't need to have all of them out at the same time (to keep down the mess) but it helps keep the toys new and exciting for the kids. Only keep toys that kids actually play with and donate the rest.
