How to Successfully Design a Shared Kids’ Bedroom

Designing a shared space that allows kids to enjoy being together as well as moments of privacy can be quite a tall order. Siblings may look alike but still have very different personalities! How to bring them to harmoniously share a space is often a challenge much harder to deal with than, say, planning a kitchen renovation. Here are some tips to make things work out.

Give Them Some Space

Sometimes, kids just need to have a little bit of space for themselves. This space could be a small curtained area separating the play area from a study area, or a curtain around each bed. Or set up bookshelves that can act as both convenient storage and a divider between personal spaces.

Invest in Storage

Stuff can pile up quickly in a shared bedroom, especially if there isn’t a space dedicated to storage. Make sure each child has adequate space for books, toys and, of course, shoes and clothing. Having the right amount of storage can also encourage responsibility: learning to tidy up after themselves, taking care of belongings and learning to let go of things that are no longer needed.

Go Classic

It’s best to choose furniture that will look just as good in an older child’s bedroom as in a child’s. Then allow children to choose accessories for the room that reflect their own personalities. These pieces can come and go according to the child’s age and personal preferences.
