When sharing your space with your significant other, there's always room for compromise – no matter what color or design trend you decide on. Because everyone deserves to look forward to their forty winks at the end of the day.
The most important thing about bedroom ideas for couples is that they need to have balance. So if your current setup is a shade of saccharine pink or feels overly masculine – consider switching things up. This doesn't mean splitting the room in half and styling in silo. In fact, working together to create a synchronized scheme you'll both be satisfied with can be lots of fun.
Small bedroom ideas for couples who stay together
'The first instinct when choosing furniture for a small room is to think, I need the smallest piece,' says George Miller, home designer, Neptune .
'But actually, you run the risk of the room feeling cluttered and uncomfortable. Yes, you do need to consider practicality, but it’s still a good idea to pick at least some designs with more substance and presence'
'We’d suggest going for the biggest bed you can and conceding on side table space. Not only will a big bed make sleeping much more comfortable for you (and your bedfellow) – which, after all, is the thing we do most in bedrooms – but it’ll give the room a real sense of ‘wow’ when you walk in.
'Statement headboards are especially good for enhancing this feeling as well, as are four-posters (and you really only need enough ceiling height to clear the top of the bed).'
'If you do find yourself having to choose smaller pieces, make up for it with accessories. Mirrors and wall art are a perfect opportunity to go big because they’re not taking up useable space.'
1. Create a 3-in-1 room

This small bedroom idea for couples comes complete with a dining room and living room – all in one place. This is made possible with the help of modular furniture to zone different areas in this Scandinavian-inspired space.
Here, Ikea's PLATSA system is used both as a wardrobe and a place to display crockery and other homeware. Taupe-colored curtains create a snug, cocoon-like feeling with privacy during the day. At night, this romantic bedroom idea will help you to relax when it’s time for some shut-eye.
2. Zone a bedroom in a studio
(Image credit: Ikea)
Look carefully behind the bed, and you'll see that this small bedroom has been carved out of a studio space, with the living room in the background.
However, your furniture choices are fundamental when it comes to dealing with a multifunctional space. Here, they've used storage furniture and a bed are from Ikea's HAUGA series which helps to connect the space and make it flow.
The berry pillows and duvet perfectly tie in with the colors of the sofa in the lounge to give the two separate spaces a coordinated feel without them blending into each other. It's a considered setup that certainly doesn't feel cramped or claustrophobic.
3. Swap a traditional bed for a sofa bed

Whether you're a newlywed couple who are first-time buyers, or are co-habiting with your partner, the first property you live in can leave little to be desired in terms of space.
Where double beds are too big, don't settle for shuffling two singles together as a small bedroom idea for couples. Instead, use a sofa bed that can be used in your living space during the day, and pulled out at night. And when looking at bedroom design, we love this nautical theme with the striped duvet, and lobster pot-style lampshade.

4. Opt for a low-slung and floating furniture
(Image credit: Sofa.com)
There are so many space-saving tools in this bedroom. Floating shelves, suspended ceiling lights – and of course, the low-slung bed.
By choosing a legless piece of furniture, this master bedroom looks larger than it is. It also means that you won't be shouting a few curse words from stubbing your baby toe on the corner of the bed.
Styling wise – we're head over heels for the ying and yang contrast between color, shape and texture. A cream bed meets black walls and a soft bed is combined with structured vases and lighting to create balance and harmony.
5. Pack in storage at every opportunity
(Image credit: Ikea)
This bedroom proves that you can have it all – even with limited space. With a multi-purpose bed, smart bedroom storage and a space-saving dressing area, you can have a calm and tidy scheme that looks great too.
This cozy bed has shelves on the headboard, so that you can keep your bedtime book close by. Drawers underneath the bed make the most of your space, and are perfect for storing blankets and seasonal clothing.
In the far corner, an open rail is perfect for hanging your work uniform or staples such as a comfy sweater or hoodie – great for having in reach for when the weather drops a few Fahrenheit.
6. Push your bed against a wall
(Image credit: Ikea)
Another studio space elegantly transformed into a small bedroom idea for couples here. This time, with a VRETSTORP sofa bed strategically shuffled into a corner, but by the window and radiator to let light in and keep you warm.
When it's not being used as a bed, this 3-seater has built-in storage where you can store your bedding during the day and your throws and cushions during the night. An adjacent cabinet with glass sliding doors allows you to see and access what you need easily, with a shelf on top to prop accessories on.
Woven baskets are perfect for storing away cushions that are for decorative use only and the two black side tables are perfect perching spots for water, books and a clock.
And as you say night-night to one another, the pleated, black blackout blinds provide visual respite from street lamps and other external light sources.
7. Pitch a pastel room to your partner
(Image credit: Loaf)
Perfect as a small apartment decorating idea if you've got an open-plan, studio setup, or if your bedroom is snug – this bed-in-a-bun contraption from Loaf is sure to save on room. And, color-wise, this pastel palette isn't too sickly to share with a man either. But you'll be forgiven for stripping out the pink for a more neutral alternative.
'It's time to put pink on pause and lean into a spectrum of pastel hues,' says Nadia McCowan-Hill, resident style advisor, Wayfair .
'Replace this typically feminine colour with calming shades of lilac and grey which promote relaxation and recalibration in a bedroom space. Plump for tactile (ideally organic) fabrics and introduce sleep-promoting scents like lavender for an added soothing touch.'
8. Use your speakers as a hi-tech shelf
(Image credit: Ikea)
If drawers or bedside tables take up too much floor space – floating shelves are the way forward when decorating a bedroom. This SYMFONISK WiFi bookshelf speaker is the perfect 2-in-1 solution for tech geeks and music lovers alike.
'Having a wall hung shelf in a small bedroom gives the perfect surface required for all your "bedside bits" without taking up valuable floor space,' says Georgia Metcalfe, co-founder and creative director at The French Bedroom Company .
'If space really is limited, with very little at the side of the bed you could move this shelf to above the bed which is a good way to practically decorate the wall too. Add a plant, some books and a couple of treasured trinkets and you have functional wall art!'
9. Create a spa-like sanctuary
(Image credit: B&M)
Spa weekends with your significant other can be a lovely activity to do together. And they can often be expensive too, so why not incorporate some of the things you like most about a getaway in your own room?
Aside from the fluffy robes and slippers, this budget bedroom idea is all about tactility and natural textures. Look to rattan furniture, cream-colored fleecy throws, lots of faux fur and a soft, high-pile rug. Layering fabrics will help to create a cocoon-like space to nest in. And just when you think you have enough blankets, store some more in a wicker basket for extra winter warmth.
10. Have fun thrifting for retro touches
(Image credit: B&M)
Turn your home into a retro wonderland with everything you need to get in on the vintage bedroom trend. It needn't be expensive too if you search the main street for a charity store.
Alternatively, if you can afford to, vintage art fairs and auctions are the place to be to grab an iconic statement piece for your space. But if you're in doubt mustard yellows and bright orange pieces will give you the groovy color pop you need.
11. Layer your rugs for a cozy bedroom scheme
(Image credit: Cosy Coco)
Calm and tranquil, the watery and sea-like blue bedroom is full of line design which is visually appealing. Horizontal lines on the throw make the end of the bed look bigger, and the layered Berber-style Atlas rugs , available from Cosy Coco depict rugged mountains to bring the outside in.
12. Create a small, but perfectly defined WFH space
(Image credit: John Lewis & Partners)
WFH with a partner is a weird and wonderful phenomenon at the best of times. While your new-found colleague knows how you take your coffee, finding the space to go about your professional duties without distracting each other can be a challenge. So why not set up a home office in your bedroom?
While one of you works in the kitchen or living room, someone else can set up shop in the boudoir. This flip-down desk plays the role of 'shelfie' after you've clocked off for the day.
'Creating a quiet desk space at home was a challenge during the pandemic, but as a new sense of normality settles, it seems that working from home (at least some of the time) is here to stay,' says Helen Stone, interiors writer, John Lewis & Partners .
'Whether it’s a place where you can set up your laptop or a space to pursue a new interest, an extra work station won't go amiss. ANYDAY Work has a range of solutions including compact desks, smart chairs and great storage for packing everything away into at the end of the day, making home your home again.
'And don’t forget the lighting. The nights are drawing in, after all…'
13. Maximize your space with mirrored furniture
(Image credit: Next)
We all know about the power of mirrors, and the important role they can have to make a small room look bigger, and bounce light around the room. Here, reflecting panes of glass are present on the wardrobe which give the illusion of a larger floor plan. But you can always play about with side cabinets, and of course... An actual mirror.
14. Make your bedroom twinkle with stars
(Image credit: Next)
As the sun goes down and your blinks get slower, you'll want to create a night time nook to nestle in. Perfect for star gazers and grey bedroom lovers, this velvety-clad sleep quarter shines bright with star-studded bedding from Next.
15. Nuzzle up with a Nordic scheme
(Image credit: Next)
Nordic-inspired rooms aren't just for Christmas. Full of wooden features and faux furs, this Scandinavian bedroom is makes a sweet bedroom idea for couples – without the long trip to Lapland.
If you haven't got real wood shiplap walls, fake the look with wooden-effect wallpaper. It provides that perfect Après ski-style cabin aesthetic. Opting for a small tree in the corner of your bedroom can also have the same effect, if space permits.

16. Create intimacy with black
(Image credit: Dunelm)
Yes, it's controversial, but a black bedroom is the perfect way to create drama and moodiness in a small bedroom idea for couples. And the perfect bedfellow for this dark color? Metallics.
So team this hue with sultry champagne and silvery silk bedding and low-lighting with a dimmer setting so that you can set the mood to something that suits you.
17. Zhuzh up a jungle luxe scheme with a DIY canopy
(Image credit: The French Bedroom)
Creating an outdoor-inspired and biophillic boho bedroom has lots of benefits for you and your other half. It's on-trend and a quick and affordable way to bring some dynamic energy into the room.
But there are ways to amplify this aesthetic and it doesn't take much money to take this from plain palm to a revolutionary rainforest scheme. Simply secure bamboo canes to the walls and drape with a light and flowy fabric for an airy jungle-like scheme.
Heavy curtains or drapes might be too much for this snug space – but this is just right.
18. Short on wardrobe space? Opt for an Ottoman bed
(Image credit: Fishpools)
Learning how to organize a closet successfully can be a challenge so when it comes to sharing – especially in a small bedroom – you need to give it even more though. While shirts and suit jackets need to be hung up, there's usually a lot of casual clothes and occasion-wear that we don't want to get creased.
That's why, an ottoman bed is the perfect compromise if you don't have room for a conventional master closet. You can store essential everyday garments in your closet and keep clothes that are out of season in this hidden compartment. To make the most of this space, invest in vacuum packed storage bags which remove the excess air out of the bag, allowing you to stow away so much more. We've shopped around for the best storage beds to make your life easier.
19. Fit built-in wardrobes
(Image credit: My Fitted Bedroom)
Another way to save on space is to go bespoke – namely through fitted or built-in wardrobes. There are obviously advantages and disadvantages if you go down this route. While the experts endeavour to make use of every inch of space, as they aren't modular, you can't take them with you if you choose to move home.
However, as they are a made-to-measure component, your closet organization ideas will be second-to-none, as you can choose how you style this space.
20. Choose a slim clothes rail

Strong and sturdy, this black industrial clothes rail from Cox & Cox looks just like wrought iron, and is the perfect small bedroom idea for couples – especially if your scheme is based around a minimalist or modern bedroom idea you've tried to emulate.
Far from flimsy, it's a great way to display your favorite clothes, and it includes handy basket shelf both above and below to be used in place of, or in addition to a wardrobe in your bedroom.
How do you optimize space in a small bedroom for couples?
'If your bedroom is in need of more hanging space – whether that’s to deal with the family’s winter coats or your summer wardrobe, then look at a slim hanging rail,' says Jennifer Morgan, interiors editor at John Lewis & Partners .
'Choose a design with a shelf underneath to max-out the storage potential, or one that folds away when not in use. And again, edit regularly… the look should be one of calm and order.'
How do couples decorate small rooms?
'Needless to say adding a mirror to a petit boudoir will enhance the light and airiness. If the view from your window is worth repeating, having the mirror opposite the window will increase the natural light flowing into your room.' says Metcalfe.

Calling all small space dwellers! If you need small bedroom ideas for a DIY makeover but don’t think you have enough bedroom to work with, you’re in the right place. We’ve got some lovely small room design ideas to maximize space and prove tiny spaces can be stylish.
While modern and luxurious design ideas often tell you that you need to have a sitting area, small office, or a king-size bed in your bedroom, don’t forget that a bedroom’s main function is to be a place to rest and recharge. And you don’t have to do much to create a beautiful space to do so.
Your small bedroom may be a blessing for a better night’s sleep. The American Sleep Association recommends keeping stimulating activities out of the bedroom. They warn that distractions like the TV, internet, and work can disrupt your sleep patterns. So, the less there is to do in your bedroom, the more sleep you set yourself up for. How’s that for smart design?
Here are tiny room decor ideas that will help you learn how to maximize space in a small bedroom.
Creative small bedroom ideas that maximize space: 1. Light and bright decorating ideas to make small rooms feel bigger @viktoriaalisevich / Twenty20The color white is an expansive and practical choice for small bedroom decor. It keeps the space from looking too busy or boxed in. Painting your bedroom white will make it look bigger. Using white or lighter colors combats the absence of large wall space or windows to brighten up your space.
Afraid of white paint being too stark? To keep your small bedroom from feeling cold or void of personality, layer your whites with different textures and white-on-white patterns for drama. In the bedroom above, the simple addition of a patterned throw and chrome bedside lamps transforms the room from sterile to stylish.
2. Cozy corner bed for small spaces Photographee.eu / ShutterstockMost bedroom decorating ideas feature the bed by centering it on the wall. However, narrow floor plans and limited space often call for a different approach.
To maximize the floor space, tuck your bed up against a wall or corner. Doing so will create a sleeping area that feels snug and cozy. If it feels too much like a college dorm, add a two headboard corner system to create a finished, designer look to a bedroom.
3. Slim headboard and bed frame to increase small bedroom space Photographee.eu / ShutterstockA few inches of extra space can make a small bedroom feel like a luxurious master bedroom. Part ways with your footboard-style bed frame and replace it with a simple modern platform bed to finish the look.
4. Minimalist style for a small master bedroom J. Zhuk / ShutterstockAdd space to your small master bedroom by paring it down to your favorite essentials. The focus of this space is undeniably the bed, so keep furniture pieces and accessories down to a minimum.
Even better, use sleek, contemporary built-ins for additional storage. Built-ins maximize storage while looking like they’re not even there. A good built-in around your bed creates a cozy sleeping nook while adding plenty of storage.
5. Mirrors can make a small bedroom look bigger New Africa / ShutterstockMirrors expand a small bedroom by creating the illusion of a bigger room. Positioning a mirror to reflect the light of a window is also the only way to up the natural light in your space.
The easiest way to incorporate a big mirror? Try this easy technique. Find a body-length mirror and lean it up against the wall. No holes needed. Though, you’ll want to secure it with wall tacky for peace of mind.
6. Small bedroom storage under the bed PlusONE / ShutterstockIf you’re in the market for a new bed, consider a bed with drawers underneath for extra storage. If space is so limited that drawers may not open easily, use decorative bins under your bed for additional storage. We love milk crates and other woven baskets that hold up well and look good.
7. Incorporating loft living to small bedrooms Tony Anderson / Getty ImagesIf floor space is limited but you have higher ceilings, consider adding a loft or platform for your sleeping area with storage or seating underneath. This isn’t an option for everyone, but for those who don’t mind climbing into bed, this layout can completely transform a small room.
8. Bold wallpaper for very small bedroom ideas Photographee.eu / ShutterstockJust because your bedroom is small doesn’t mean it has to be dull. Add a bold wallpaper pattern to a focal wall, like your headboard wall.
Wallpaper tends to get a bad rap for making rooms look small and cluttered, but using the right style and technique does just the opposite. Add a bold wallpaper pattern to a focal wall, like your headboard wall.
When selecting wallpaper, choose a large-scale pattern over a small, busy one. Don’t forget to create a cohesive look by coordinating your bedding with your beautiful, new wallpaper.
Renters, you can play with wallpaper too. Have a look at our article for removable wallpaper.
9. Floating shelves for small bedroom decor Photographee.eu / ShutterstockThe versatile floating shelf can work in many useful ways in a small bedroom. Here are some floating shelf decorating ideas for the bedroom:
- A nightstand replacement
- An entry table by the door
- A bookcase
- A laptop desk
A wall niche gives you storage space without taking up floor space. In newer construction buildings, drywall is normally hollow and supported by vertical 2 x 4 wood beams (studs) that are 16” apart. If your bed is set up on a non-exterior wall, use a stud finder to mark where your wood wall beams are to cut out an alcove. Your new alcove may not be incredibly deep, but it may be all you need for small necessities like an alarm clock or some personal items. Maximizing your small bedroom with minimal effort
11. Creative nightstands Demkat / ShutterstockFinding the right size nightstand can be tricky for any bedroom. When you have a small bedroom and a tight squeeze next to your bed, you have to think creatively. Consider using a decorative stool or chair.
12. Floating desk Thomas Barwick / Getty ImagesIs your home office in your tiny bedroom? Maximize your space with a floating desk, which is basically an extra-large floating shelf. You can create a DIY floating desk by putting a piece of plywood on top of a couple of shelf brackets. Then slide a comfy chair underneath and you’re done!
13. Colorful throw pillows Photographee.eu / ShutterstockIf you love color, but prefer an all-white room to make your small space look bigger, you don’t have to compromise. Simply add color to your room with vibrant throw pillows.
14. Eye-catching chandelier Photographee.eu / ShutterstockYour options for small bedroom decorating ideas are starting to look up! Adding a unique chandelier or pendant light is an excellent way to give your room a focal point and add some cozy lighting.
15. Cozy area rug for small bedroom ideas Photographee.eu / ShutterstockPeople often focus their bedroom decorating on the walls, shelving, furniture, and bedding. But don’t forget the floor. An interesting area rug can instantly add warmth to a room or a pop of color. Play around with the texture and find something that looks good and feels great on your feet.
16. Bedside table shelving NelleG / Getty ImagesOne more bedside table idea — shelving. Floating shelves work great as a nightstand. You can place them at the perfect height and if you DIY it, you can get the shelving cut to the exact size that fits your bedroom. Floating shelves come in a wide range of materials, too, from wood to glass to metal.
17. Sleek sconces for small bedrooms KyJleP_D / ShutterstockNo room next to your bed for a lamp? Wall sconces are a smart solution to add reading light to a small bedroom. You can go for a modern look or a traditional style. Or get crazy and mix and match your sconces for an eclectic look.
18. Gorgeous greenery @merrymirta / Twenty20Make room for plants! Just because your bedroom is small doesn’t mean you have to skip the greenery. Adding houseplants to your room makes it feel more alive and plants actually help clean the air. To maximize space, try wall planters. They turn your plants into works of art.
19. Breezy curtains Photographee.eu / ShutterstockIf your small room is short on windows, you can still get things flowing by using curtains to decorate. Two smart ways are to replace closet doors with curtains or use curtains to create a room divider. Either way, be sure to pick colors and textures that feel good in your space.
20. Sparkling string lights svetikd / Getty ImagesString lights aren’t just for the holiday season! They’re a cool way to create interesting lighting or art features in a small bedroom. Hang them on the wall, ceiling, headboard, or anywhere you can imagine. And tiny lights come in a wide range of colors to make your small bedroom look even more magical.
21. High-contrast color scheme Photographee.eu / ShutterstockPairing white with a high-contrast color is a big-impact way to decorate a small bedroom. Sticking with just one bold color, plus white, creates a dramatic look. And you can use this high-contrast effect in bedding, wall paint, artwork, rugs, and beyond.
22. Tiny wall art KatarzynaBialasiewicz / Getty ImagesSmall rooms are the perfect place to create the tiniest art gallery. Shop thrift shops, galleries, and home decor stores for small paintings and prints. Then hang a bunch of them on one wall for an eclectic collection. You can even make your own art by painting small canvases or canvases of different sizes that are on the smaller side.
Having a small bedroom doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice style. There are plenty of room design ideas that maximize efficiency while elevating your room. The key is to find options that work best for your personal taste and space.

A child is a small personality. He needs his own space where he can play and dream. For one child, this issue is easier to solve. And what to do when two children and one room?
A child is a small person with his own needs and interests. He needs his own space where he can play and dream. For one child, this issue is easier to solve. And what to do when there are two children, and one room? Let's get a look!

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. nine0003
Design should be thought out based on the preferences of the child
Design can be made the same or individual for each child
Light colors are preferred for children's room

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. nine0003
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:
- for baby or baby;
- preschooler's room;
- playroom for children of elementary grades; nine0056
- study zone for adolescence;
- bedroom of maturing girls (boys).
Schoolchildren should have a comfortable writing 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 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:
- personal space;
- sleep and rest area;
- place to play;
- free passage;
- working (training) area;
- each has its own place to store things. nine0069
- folding tops;
- transformers;
- folding sofas;
- retractable beds;
- many drawers in functional cabinets;
- open racks, shelves and bookcases used as partitions for space zoning.
- white;
- beige;
- cream;
- grey-blue;
- light green;
- pale lemon;
- washed blue or turquoise;
- delicate peach or apricot.
- towels;
- bed linen;
- clothing and footwear;
- school supplies; nine0056
- toys.
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. nine0003

You can entrust the design of a children's room to a specialist
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 quiet, 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. nine0003
If the room is small you can use multifunctional furniture
Headboard-to-headboard arrangement is considered optimal, but not back-to-back

Choosing furniture for children's rooms of different layouts
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. nine0003
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

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. nine0003
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 skimp 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. nine0003
3. The 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.

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. nine0003
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. nine0003
Council. 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. nine0003
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
A more secluded place is assigned for the girl, 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. nine0003
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 décor should be based on an acquisition that will make children happy
Choose bright furniture, plush 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. nine0003
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.
