With space at a premium for many, shared bedroom ideas with two kids in the same room can often be a great solution. Sometimes it's the only option. Whichever is the case, how you decorate the space can have a big impact on how siblings will interact with each other. 

Stop resentments in their tracks with kids bedroom ideas that are fair and take both children into account. Forget preferential treatment based on age or sex, and give each child similar amounts of space and storage.  

Encouraging kids to share and be patient with each other with these shared bedroom ideas, will benefit their development and lead to a happier, more harmonious household. 

Shared bedroom ideas

We've pulled together a few simple children's shared bedroom ideas to help keep the peace and make sure both your kids feel represented in their shared room.  

From decor ideas to divvying up floor space and allocating storage, these shared bedroom ideas will help to keep the peace and provide a comfortable place for kids to relax, play and sleep.

1. Divide the space equally

(Image credit: Future / TBC)

Treating children equally will diffuse resentments before they start. So ensure each child has the same amount of space, regardless of age or other factors.

If you're including beds with built-in storage beneath, make sure you know which side the drawers will open. It will reduce any arguments and make life easier if drawers can be opened without encroaching on each other's space. 

2. Include built-in storage where possible

(Image credit: Future / Dan Duchars)

Kids accumulate a lot of 'stuff'. From clothes and shoes, to toys, books, sports kids, dressing up costumes, school work and more. With two kids sharing a bedroom, it's easy for things to get out of hand, particularly when they grow out of things so fast.

They key to keeping things organised and under control is ample storage. Built-in or bespoke options will make the most of every centimetre. So it's well worth considering the extra expense, especially in an attic bedroom or one with with awkward corners and angles. If you can stretch to the initial outlay, it will pay off in the log run, as it won't be necessary to replace small freestanding pieces with larger ones down the line.

Make sure drawers and cupboard space are divided up, so each child knows which is his or her section and they can find their own stuff. Some shared areas may be necessary for toy storage ideas, so ensure they are aware of this, with labels if necessary.

3. Choose a calming colour scheme

(Image credit: Future / James Merrell)

Colour affects our mood and how we feel, so to keep kids feeling calm, avoid a sensory overload of garish primary colours in their bedroom. Toys, books and games will keep them stimulated, so it's good to temper this with a backdrop of serene neutrals and gentle pastels in their space.  

'Personality can be added without altering the décor through photographs and other items being hung on the wall,' says Georgia Metcalfe, founder, The French Bedroom Company . 'Remember, plain walls and furniture don’t go out of style and make a room feel bright and airy.'

This is a smart solution in a girl's bedroom idea if you're dealing with two very distinct personalities. The calming neutral scheme will be the perfect backdrop for both to express themselves.

4. Be inventive with a bunk bed layout

(Image credit: Future PLC / James French)

Of course, the traditional bunk bed layout is a well designed way to accommodate two kids in a small bedroom. However, it may not work so well for kids of different ages, where their needs vary.

If you have a younger one who still likes bedtime stories and you want to be able to pull up a chair next to the bed, consider an alternative bunk bed layout. This can either be done by an choosing L-shaped model or with a platform bed and a single bed at a 90 degree angle beneath, instead of a desk setup.  

5. Make learning fun with a double desk

(Image credit: Future / TBC)

Provide kids with a smart and stimulating shared place to do homework and they'll be more likely to knuckle down and do it. This is particularly essential for teenage bedroom ideas if they have exams coming up. 

Creating an alcove beneath built-in storage is an ideal spot for a double desk. Ensure there's enough space for both kids to sit and write, draw or do their homework at the same time. And make it fun, with quirky wallpaper that can be coloured in to encourage their creativity when they study alone too.

6. Go for a theme they'll both love

(Image credit: Future PLC / Carolyn Barber)

Accommodating colours, patterns and themes each kid loves can lead to a messy mishmash of a shared bedroom scheme that suits neither them nor you.

Instead, go for a theme, such as a movie, book, topic or character that they both enjoy and make that the focal point. Setting this within a neutral background will allow each child the space to personalise their section of the bedroom with favourite toys and teddies.   

7. Make bedtime appealing with modern design

(Image credit: Future / Brent Darby)

If bedtime in a shared bedroom turns too easily into bickering or play time, make it more appealing with a cocooning modern bunk bed design.  

With shelves that can be personalised and its cosy rounded shape, this bunk bed feels more like a den or a place to hang out, where each kid gets their own space to read and relax before lights out.

8. Create a whimsical wonderland

(Image credit: Annie Sloan)

Flex your own creative muscles and embark on a DIY project transforming a shared bedroom into a whimsical wonderland with some sheets of plywood, chalk paint and fabric. 

'If you're a proficient DIYer, create a gateway to a far-off fantasy land with a piece of plywood cut to size at your local hardware store and painted in contrasting colours,' says colour expert, Annie Sloan .  

'Forget gender-typical likes and dislikes, teach them young that every colour is for everyone.

'Have fun with fabrics; a curtain to pull across the bed creates an instant hideaway. Unexpected upsides can include instilling your child with a strong sense of pride in their own environment.'  

9. Pick furniture that will last

(Image credit: Future / Colin Poole)

Vintage pieces by their nature have weathered the years and various design trends. These make a good choice if you want what the furniture you choose to see your little ones through from toddlers to teenagers.

'To prevent frequent furniture replacing, purchase durable pieces that will stand the test of time,' says Georgia Metcalfe, founder, The French Bedroom Company. 'Wardrobes, tables and chests of drawers are key choices. Solid craftsmanship in the design and natural materials are generally a good indicator that the furniture will last.'

10. Include space for soft play areas

(Image credit: Future / Nicholas Yarsley)

Kids love to play on the floor, so whether you've gone for carpet, timber flooring or something else, ensure you include a section of floor space for them to play. Ample storage nearby and extra rugs underfoot for their comfort will encourage this.

'Children's rooms can be short on space, so it's vital to get smart with the layout to maximise what's available,' says Christopher Lusty, founder, Little Folks Furniture . 

'Having simple ways to declutter and create floorspace is fundamental to maintaining a harmonious bedroom. Raised bed frames give the option to tuck storage underneath.'

11. Put up diving walls for privacy

(Image credit: B&Q)

B&Q have the ultimate design solution for how to divide a shared kids room. The genius room dividing panels are adjustable to suit all room heights, providing a quicker and cheaper solution than structurally altering a home with a growing family.

Each panel is made out of MDF. The height can be altered to fit any room using the adjustable feet with 4 non-slip pads. Ideal for a teenage girl and teenage boy's bedroom idea.

12. Cater for different ages in a small room

(Image credit: Little Folks Furniture)

Not all siblings who share a room are of similar ages, so choosing a bed set up can prove tricky - especially when space is limited.  

This smart bunk bed design caters for a younger child with an elevated single bed, while providing a small double bed beneath for an older sibling. Space-saving and practical to suit very different ages within the shared bedroom ideas.

13. Paint the walls with multiple colours

(Image credit: Future PLC/ Colin Poole)

If one child is begging for pink walls and the other wants a contrasting colour why not blend both their choices together, creating a colour scheme that keeps them both happy. Rather than painting each wall a different colour why not create a funky geometric design on the walls with the two colours?

Create this diagonal design by running masking tape down the wall to create a sharp line between the different coloured bedroom paint ideas. Finish off the room with room decorations that will appeal to both kids.

14. Divide the room with furniture placement

(Image credit: Future PLC/ Colin Poole)

Having shared bedroom ideas doesn't mean you can try to create a sense of personal space for each child. In this small kids bedroom idea the beds are placed on opposite sides of the room, to create more personal space for each child. 

The chimney breast has been cleverly utilised to give the illusion of a little privacy between the two bed. Anyone who has created a teenage girl bedroom or one for boys will know the importance of privacy in a shared room.

15. Break up the conventional layout

(Image credit: Little Folks Furniture)

Don't feel like you have to conform with the traditions of having symmetry when it comes to how to divide a kids room bedroom. In fact, mixing up how to arrange furniture in a bedroom can make a big impact on the rooms layout. Rather than seeking symmetry to zone the room for each child the beds are placed almost back to back to dominate one corner – freeing up the rest of the space for their individual needs.

Having the beds facing away from each other helps to give each child a different persecutive, a wall to call their own.

16. Mix and match individual styles

(Image credit: Future PLC/ Paul Raeside)

Your kids may have to share a room, but that's as far as it has to go. If you have one messy, one tidy, one boy, one girl, one explorer and one ballerina then fill the room with different room accessories and bedding. 

Although it's within shared bedroom ideas you can even go as far as giving them completely different beds and desks, don't deny them their own style just because they share the same room.

17. Coordinate the bedding

18. Welcome a feature wall for storage

(Image credit: Future PLC/ Paul Raeside)

Balance a twin set up with a feature wall for toy storage ideas and bookshelves. The curated wall provides plenty of space for double everything, from baby toys through to artwork and more grown-up accessories.

If you've had baby twins then why not keep them together? At a young age, it doesn't matter if they're different sexes they can happily stay in shared bedroom ideas. Keep everything multicoloured in animal and alphabet designs which can be updated with pops of pink and blue if you wish.

19. Mismatch sheets and accessories to differentiate

(Image credit: Future PLC/ Tim Young)

If you've decided to use matching furniture throughout the room, a simple way of letting your kids show their personality in the room (and keep them separate in the wash) is to let them choose their own bedding. 

It is amazing the impact that coloured bedding can have on a room. If your kids have their heart set on a theme in the room, just make sure the bedding centres around it like in this nautical bedroom.

20. Add one harmonious accent colour

(Image credit: California Shutters)

Inject a hit of colour that both children like, to add a harmonious accent colour. A colour such as brilliant yellow will prove timeless as they grow, meaning you won't need to refresh every year as they grow out of baby pink or baby blue. 

Paint window shutter ideas in a striking shade to invigorate the room and highlight the view beyond – encouraging them to look out to a world beyond those four walls.

21. Maximise floor space with bunk beds

(Image credit: Future PLC/ Jeroen Van Der Spek)

Bunk beds make the most out of the floor space in shared bedroom ideas, which is important when you have double the clothes, toys and personality in a room. It also means that siblings can operate in different spheres. 

You can now purchase bunkbeds that operate almost like completely separate rooms which is a life-saver for working out how to divide a shared kids room with siblings who can't quite see eye to eye.

22. Include plenty of desk space for them to work in peace

(Image credit: Future PLC)

Siblings who share rooms have to sleep together, dress together and play together, so it is healthy to give them some space to themselves. Make sure to include choose a desk with plenty of space so they can complete there homework on their own without their sibling pestering them. 

This is especially important if there is an age gap between your children, if one is a teenager they need a space that they can leave there revision for any upcoming tests, safe in the knowing it won't be mistaken as waste paper by their younger brother or sister.

23. Personalise everything

(Image credit: Future PLC)

So you don't get into ‘but that's mine' arguments, personalise everything where possible. Fun bedroom wall decor, bedding embroidery and even painted signs above each of their beds are all great ways to show the divide in the room, whilst keeping everything else the same. 

In shared bedroom ideas, you do run the risk of siblings feeling like they're unable to express themselves, but with personalisation they can literally stamp there name on everything.

24. Add extra privacy with a tent

(Image credit: Future PLC/ Simon Whitmore)

Every child loves a den but it is a clever addition to a shared bedroom. They can choose to play in the tent together or use it as a space to get away from each other. You can buy indoor children's tents online, or make one yourself that will fit perfectly into the corner of the room like this one.

This bedroom tent is as simple to create as hanging a sheet over a pole attached to the ceiling and securing it to two point son the wall. All that's left is to fill it with a cosy rugs and cushions.

25. Create storage for both bunk bed levels

(Image credit: Future PLC/ David Brittain)

The storage for traditional bunk beds is usually found on the bottom level under the bottom bunk. However, shared bedroom storage, even if your two kids are best friends, can be a recipe for disaster. Insert a peg rail next to the top and bottom bunk and hang storage baskets or bags over them like in this room. 

This will help keep your kids belongs separate and within easy reach from their bed, just be sure they are within easy reach for you to take down incase you're called in for any lost plimsoll emergencies.

26. Choose a bespoke bunk bed design for privacy

(Image credit: Future PLC/ James French)

Box bunks are a great way to utilise space – they are much like normal bunks, but provide a little den of personal space. Encourage kids to decorate the inside of their box in their own drawings, artwork and bedding designs whilst keeping everything outside of that space the same.

This bed is perfect for siblings with different tastes as the outside can be painted one colour, but the enclosed insides can be painted to match each child's interests, combining both boys and girls bedroom ideas. The ledge also provides space for them to display their precious belongings and pictures.

27. Avoid fights with matching beds

(Image credit: Future PLC/ Paul Raeside)

While letting them choose their own bed and furniture works in a perfect world. Sometimes the only way to avoid a sibling fight is to keep everything the same. This usually works best if your children are twins, the same sex and into the same things. 

If they aren't, make sure to stick to neutral bedroom ideas. It makes decorating easy, buying easy and no one can fight over what's theirs if it's all the same – but we can't guarantee that will stop them.

How do I arrange a shared bedroom?

The most important element is to make it fair. Each child should have a similar amount of personal space and storage, as well as shared areas.  

'Depending on their age, involve your children in the styling of their room by asking what they would like and listening to their ideas,' says Christopher at Little Folks Furniture. 'Help them think about what they use their room for and how best you can put that into action.'

How do you make a shared room fun?

A shared bedroom is generally fun for most young children; you've always got company and you get double the toys to play with. 

To make the decor fun, consider a theme that they both love, for example a character from a book or film. If the age difference means their interests are too varied, pick something general and easy to achieve, such as a painting a mountain mural on a wall.  

How do you split a small shared room?

The best way to divide a shared kids room that's on the small side is to seek smart furniture choices, such as bunk beds and stacked storage to utilise space. 

When space is at a premium, it is key to make your furniture work harder. Choose multifunctional pieces to offer more potential. Single beds with drawer storage below, bunk beds with shelving incorporated, seating with space beneath to stash toys will all help keep chaos to a minimum.

Children grow and develop, and the complexity of decorating the interior of a children's room for two children means that many things need to change in a few years. A well-thought-out interior will reflect the interests and tastes of a girl and a boy, their age characteristics and personal wishes. The layout of urban apartments with a lack of a separate room for each family member encourages parents to equip a room for two children. Children get along differently, there are pronounced individualists and owners who claim a separate personal space, and it is important to reckon with this.

Design should be thought out based on the preferences of the child

Design can be made the same or individual for each child

What is important to consider in the nursery?

The modern design of a children's room for two children is thought through in detail. Agree, it is not good to leave a growing baby in a crib if his legs stick out through the gaps in the back or hang down from the children's sofa. The decor should correspond to the rapidly changing interests of the son and daughter - they are different for children of a preschooler and a teenager.

Schoolchildren should have a comfortable desk or computer desk. For each child, their part of the table is separated, and his personal area is equipped with shelves and drawers at arm's length. Be sure to have good (but not very bright) local lighting where children study or sit at a computer. The room for two children and its design is important to update from time to time:

The modern design of a children's room for two children is thought through in detail

Certain difficulties are caused by the room of children of different ages with their needs and interests. Functional zoning is necessary here, where it is supposed to allocate:

Arrangement of a place for games is determined by the age characteristics and hobbies of children. All sorts of retractable planes, including beds, free up more space for play in the aisle. This is true for a narrow children's bedroom and a small room. For teenagers who have ceased to be interested in toys, this place will eventually be filled with equipment and simulators, as in the photo.

In a large space, it is easiest to plan a design project for a children's room for two children, especially if it is entrusted to a specialist. He will make the wildest dreams of children come true.

Consider children's preferences when choosing a design

When the family is on a tight budget and the nursery is too small for creative ideas, do-it-yourself decor and compact furniture are used. Applicable:

Preschoolers do not need an extended study area, but a comfortable table, a wide window sill or a folding tabletop are a must. Here it will be convenient for them to look at their favorite books, make something or glue it out of paper.

Rest should be calm, in a secluded place, so that the attention of a falling asleep child is not distracted by foreign objects. The optimal arrangement of beds is head to head, but not back to back. An appropriate bunk bed, but in a hot room with low ceilings, the child upstairs will not be comfortable. It is better to take a separate corner with soft light away from the window, and it is desirable that the children's beds are not opposite each other.

If the room is small you can use multifunctional furniture

With the zoning of the children's room, everything is clear. But 2 questions remain open - how to select furniture, where to put it in a limited space? Aesthetics, color and design are, of course, important, but you should not clutter up the aisles with it and take away square meters from the playing area.

Cabinet furniture - at least, open shelves, cabinets and racks - a good replacement for partitions. Toys and small items are conveniently stored in drawers that can be provided with cribs and sofas. Multi-level built-in furniture up to the ceiling will help save free space to free up space in the aisles, give more light and air.

TABLE

1.

Narrow room with front door

Clear aisle as much as possible, cabinet furniture along one wall, a table by the window, bunk beds or head to head

2.

Large room with two windows

Best layout, 2 desks by each window or large table top, plenty of room for zoning

3.

Small square room with one window

Sitting areas opposite each other, beds with a side placed in parallel, a table by the window

4.

Spacious room with bay windows

Place a play or study area near the window, replace the window sills with a countertop

5.

Walk-through long room

The worst option, it is important to fence off the sleeping and rest area as much as possible, the playing place is in the corner, and not on the aisle, cabinets near 1 wall

6.

Rectangular children's door in the side wall

Built-in cabinet against solid wall, perpendicular beds, 2 tables

7.

Small L-shaped room

Worst option, bunk bed, minimum cabinet furniture, 1 table

Transformer beds can be used in small rooms

Cabinet furniture - at least, open shelves, cabinets and shelving - a good replacement for partitions

Tiered built-in furniture up to the ceiling saves space

Separation of space for different children

1. If age differences are small, then children of the same age, even if they are a son and daughter, up to 10 years old do not have to delimit their personal space. The design of a room for children of different sexes can be neutral, without gender differences, only the place above the bed can be marked with its own color or favorite dolls and cars on the shelf. The background of the walls is chosen in a calm neutral shade:

As children grow older, the desire for isolation and self-expression becomes more tangible. By the beginning of the school year or the next birthday of the child, give them a gift - update the design of the nursery for two children by adding a partition and original zoning. DIY decor should reflect love for the cartoon character or other common interest.

It is not necessary to delimit zones at all

The design of a room for children of different sexes can be neutral

2. If there are 2 girls in the room with different interests, even if they are twins or twins, you can't teach them to have everything in common. On the contrary, instill a desire for healthy individualism - everyone has their own personal belongings:

You can't save on this, especially during seasonal epidemics. Each child is a unique person, and both girls must show their inclinations, abilities and desires in their own way, not subject to the influence of the authority of their parents or sister.

In the common room, each daughter should have her own closet or separate places for clothes and shoes. Shelves with textbooks and toys, a rug, and a light zoning curtain can mark the boundaries of personal space where no one should enter without her consent. If girls like to dress up, decorate their room like a Parisian courtyard with a view of the Eiffel Tower using photo wallpaper.

3. Two boys must also have a separate space. A two-level bed, "loft" or "compartment", can cause litter over who gets to climb up. Offer them a lottery every month. Soon they will determine themselves, and there will be more free space in the room. The decor should reflect their preferences, but it is better to choose a loft-style interior - Spider-Man's hideout or a stylized captain's cabin.

In the common room, each child should have their own closet or separate places for clothes and shoes

If there are 2 girls in a room with different interests, even if they are twins or twins, you can’t teach them to have everything in common

Each child should have their own things and space

A well-thought-out interior for sons can have a common computer desk, but each should have its own rack or shelves. The common plane for games does not exclude the fact that they should do their lessons from their side of the tabletop or in a separate corner by the window. If there are 2 windows in the children's room - even better, let them have 2 desktops with a common computer area in the middle, as in the photo.

4. The option of a room for children with a large age difference causes difficulties for parents. Separate the baby's sleeping place with a canopy. A teenager does not need such an accessory if he sleeps on the couch. Decorating choose neutral for the whole room, but age features should be reflected in personal space.

Even if a preschooler has a large space to play, set up a small table and a comfortable chair. This is necessary so that she does not carry her books and plasticine on the table of her older sister when she is teaching lessons. With the rest of the furniture it is much easier - the baby will grow up and "move" to the table and to the bed of an adult sister.

Tip. Arrange a spacious room so that everyone can go about their business without being distracted by a sister or brother. In a cramped little room - only what is necessary, everyone has their own bed. A common play and study area is acceptable, but an older child can study, sit at a laptop or listen to music in another room.

5. Children of different sexes also have to be placed in the same room, but when they grow up, they will have to delimit places for sleeping. But until the age of 10-11, it will be a common room, then the boy will be moved to another room, but there remains a common study area. The interior for a boy and a girl should reflect their diverse interests, the background should be neutral.

The choice of style should take into account their desires, and you can always find something in common in the interests of the daughter and son. They read the same books, watch the same cartoons and series. Offer options that will suit both of them.

The choice of style should take into account their desires

The girl is given a more secluded place where she will feel protected

Wardrobes for daughter and son clothes must be separate

The girl is given a more secluded place where she will feel protected. For example, offer the top level of a children's furniture complex. Wardrobes for daughter and son clothes should be separate, this is not even discussed. Vinyl stickers on the doors with your favorite characters will emphasize their belonging.

If you do not pay special attention to decor that reflects the inclinations of children, you can diversify the situation according to the principle of seasonality. Children will gladly take part in making paper butterflies for wall decor or decorating a decorative tree - with its leaves, birds, flowers and fruits, snowflakes and raindrops.

Choose bright furniture, cushions in the form of soft toys

All decor should play with the purchase that will make children happy

Choose from colorful furniture, soft toy cushions, children's lamps, interior clocks, fantasy bedding or car road mats. All this will help to equip a room for children with different interests at minimal cost.

Attention! Remember about safety, it is more important than the design of a room for two children with different interests. There should be insulated and hidden wires, sockets with plugs, electrical appliances in a place inaccessible to small children, wall decoration and sofa upholstery with non-combustible fabric.

These are general recommendations, it all depends on the furniture you have and the one you are planning to purchase. If these are planned expenses, it is better to choose with a bright, memorable design, for example, a car bed, a fox chair or a children's sofa steamer.

All décor should play with a purchase that will make children happy. And do not forget about the local illumination of each zone, so as not to spoil the children's eyesight. For more interesting ideas, see photo examples.

Firstly, it is worth deciding in advance what functions the nursery will perform. If it is to be used only as a bedroom, you should not load the space with unnecessary items, and the wallpaper will look more advantageous if they are plain or have some pastel shade. Thus, the body of children of any age will calmly rest and tune in to sleep.

The best color for a children's bedroom is white. It is he who gives the space that lightness and freshness, where it becomes calm and comfortable. Furniture should be minimal. It is enough to put two beds, two bedside tables and a wardrobe for storage. For little fashionistas, a dressing table with a mirror can be placed on the opposite wall.

In the case when the nursery should perform more functions, it is worth zoning the space reasonably. It is desirable to make two jobs, then each child will have his own area where you can write, draw and do homework. And it is convenient to make the play and sports part common for both kids.

Beds and tables are best placed in a bright area, near windows. Place for games can be placed in a dimly lit corner of the room.

Bunk beds will save space in small children's rooms. If children are not afraid of heights and can decide without argument who sleeps upstairs and who sleeps downstairs, then this option can be called the most successful.

What to look for

First of all, it is worth considering the tastes of both kids. If they do not like the same fairy-tale characters, do not order photo wallpapers with their images. In this case, a neutral pattern would be more appropriate. If dimensions allow, the room can be divided by a partition, thereby providing each child with personal space.

Before proceeding with the repair, it is necessary to draw up a clear plan of the room, taking into account its size, number of windows and the location of the door.

It is worthwhile to immediately clearly define the functions that the nursery should perform and, depending on this, divide it into several functional zones.

Important attention should be paid to the difference in the age of the children. When the younger one goes to the garden, and the older one is a schoolboy, the surest option is to find a compromise solution for the layout. The older child is not interested in living surrounded only by children's toys, and the baby will be bored among books and notebooks. It is most logical to divide the room into two identical parts.

It is necessary to take into account the interests of children and fulfill at least one wish of each child. You can not reckon with the opinion of an only child.

Zoning a children's room

Before talking about the rules of zoning, it is worth noting that it has not only aesthetic, but also educational purposes.

For two children, if space permits, it is good to divide the space between the beds with a partition, so that both have a private space where they can do their own thing. Shelves or mirrors can be placed on the partition when the room is set up for girls.

Bright room with separated beds

It is important that the nursery is further away from the common room or kitchen. Children will not be disturbed by the sounds of dishes, pouring water or noisy gatherings of adults with guests.

Windows must face west or east. Then during the day the room will be evenly lit.

When zoning is performed for babies under 3 years old, it is necessary to be guided by the needs of the mother during the repair. The crib, changing table and other necessary accessories should not be far from each other. Developing toys and soft rugs are placed separately in the far corner of the room.

Children under 7 years old should be given the opportunity to enjoy their childhood to the maximum. You can divide the room into several zones:

Thus, the kids will have maximum opportunities for self-expression, and in the case when their interests do not coincide, they will not distract each other.

Children under 13 are already getting older and more reasonable, so zoning their space should be as useful as possible. The work and study area plays an important role for schoolchildren; you should not save on good desks and bedside tables for storing books and notebooks. Sleeping places can be made in the form of a bunk bed, which saves space and allows each child to have a private area where no one will distract him.

As a rule, zoning is carried out by arranging pieces of furniture in certain places in the room - this is the easiest and fastest option. Some parents turn on the fantasy to the maximum, and then everything comes into play: lighting, different colors of wallpaper, partitions and blinds, screens and curtains. Color zoning will greatly streamline the space. The play and sports part can be decorated in bright, flashy colors so that the kids can throw out maximum energy there, and the sleeping and working areas can be decorated in pastel colors. A fashionable option is to divide the room with the help of furniture labyrinths. In the room you can make floors of different heights. Thus, the sleeping places will be on a hill, and the work and play areas will be lower.

What furniture to choose

Furniture for children should not be massive and large. The more lightness, the more airy and comfortable the space of the room will be read. Light beds are suitable, and in the case when a dark color dominates, you can cover them with a white bedspread. The desk should be comfortable and roomy, but not bulky. Otherwise, it will steal a lot of extra space. It is better to choose a built-in furniture cabinet and make its doors mirrored. Even if it is large, mirrors will noticeably reduce the size and visually push the walls of the room apart.

For two children of preschool age, a combined version of the sleeping and sports area will be an excellent solution. Sports equipment is adjacent to the bunk bed: slides, ladders, horizontal bars. This option can be quite traumatic, so you should take care of soft carpeting in advance.
