Billie Shepherd has furiously hit back at those criticising her interior design choices.
The former TOWIE star, 33, divided her fans earlier this week when she shared a sneak preview of son Arthur's new bedroom on social media after being gifted some products from a company.
Instagram users were quick to slamsome "bland and characterless" design choices from mum-of-three Billie - saying the reality TV star's six-year-old's space "looks more like a hotel room than a child’s room."
But fuming Billie isn't accepting the criticism and has shared a lengthy message for those "getting so upset and judgement" about young Arthur's room.

"Sneak preview of Arthur’s room… All of the lighting in this room is from @visualcomforteu #gifted We can’t wait to show you the full decor soon," Billie captioned the video to her 703,000 followers on her page dedicated to documenting her home renovation journey.
Fans were quick to share their thoughts on the grownup grey room, with one fuming: "A beautiful bedroom, but not for a 6 year old! Poor Arthur, hopefully when your not filming, it’s covered in books toys and mess." Another added: "Looks more like a hotel room than a child’s room, it’s lifeless no character to it, it needs colour, toys, fun."

"I thought this was billie and Greg’s room," another confessed in the comments, "Why does he need such a big bed? Maybe a smaller bed and some toys. I guess they probably have a toy room tho don’t they." Defending Billie, one fan noted the star's kids have "football goals, the swimming pool, the playroom full of toys" in addition to their own bedrooms.
As the comments rolled in, Billie decided it was time to clear things up and hit back at her critics. She added to the debate, writing: "Guys I think some need to calm down [laughing emoji] some of you getting so upset and judgemental. Arthur’s room is not complete and this post is focused on the beautiful lighting we chose and we do have a playroom where he has all of his toys. This is his nice calm space to chill and sleep in [kiss emoji]"
Billie shares Arthur, six, with husband Greg Shepherd. The married couple are also parents to daughter Nelly, nine, and baby Margot, who was born at the start of this year. The family resides in a luxury £1.4million Essex mansion, moving in earlier this year after two years of renovation work.
