4 Clever Tips for Designing a Shared Bedroom for Your Kids

Things can get tricky when siblings share a bedroom. Boundless shared space can cause a lot of arguments. However, that doesn’t have to be the case. If your home isn’t big enough for each child to have their own room, there are a few design tricks you can use to make sharing the space more enjoyable for everyone. This post shares some helpful tips for designing a bedroom that your kids will love to share.

Gender neutral color palette

Children’s tastes can vary greatly. For that, a gender-neutral color palette is ideal—they won’t argue whether a room is too pink or too blue. Instead, they will have a beautiful bedroom that suits their taste even after a few years. The neutral color scheme in this bedroom is soothing and relaxing, but they managed to customize it with toys and wall art.

Create separate sleeping areas

Placing the beds in different areas rather than side by side will help divide the room, leaving each sibling their own space. Implementing this doesn’t have to be too complicated. With the right furniture and even a curtain or other physical divider, all of your kids will feel right at home.

A mixed bed is an innovative way to create a personal space for both children. This adorable kids room has a bunk bed on top of a larger bed. If you have an attic, this design will be easier to replicate.

Another excellent way to add privacy is the introduction of curtains. When grouped together, these curtains create a completely private space for each child.

shared storage

Dedicated storage is essential when designing a kids’ shared bedroom. Establishing clear boundaries between each child’s personal belongings is likely to save them from arguments later on. The double drawer provides storage for both children while matching perfectly with the room’s aesthetic.

Name customization

Adding children’s names is a fun and easy way to set up their personal space. To this, you can add custom pillows embroidered with their names. Or try some cute wall prints. You can also customize each bed with their favorite toys.
