As your family grows, your home might not grow at the same rate. Sometimes, two children might have to share a bedroom. Most of the time, children usually don't have the same taste in decorating ideas, making it difficult to decorate a bedroom where each one is happy with the result. Here are a few ideas to assist with your decorating dilemma.
Furniture
Bunk beds are an option to consider in a smaller bedroom. Each child can decorate a bunk with a favorite sheet set, comforters, and accent pillows. This will allow each child to personalize even a small space. Bunk beds also allow for utilizing the residual of the bedroom so that each child can design a personal space, such as one side of the room with a bookcase and chair and the other side with toys and games. Twin beds can be placed on each side of the room with nightstands or desks between them so that your children feel like they have their separate areas.
Style Options
Even if you have twins, each child will likely have a personal style when it comes to bedroom decorating ideas.
Wood or solid colored furniture is a good base to start with before adding décor and accents.
You could assign each child two walls in the room that can be decorated in any way. If you choose to have a generic theme in the room, then consider letting each child use their favorite colors in the theme.
Colors
An approved color palette that both siblings agree upon will frequently result in fewer arguments over a favorite color being used to a greater extent than the other. Talk to your children about ways that you can blend color tastes together with accent walls, rugs, bed linens, and décor.
Growing Together
When you're faced with two children sharing a bedroom, it can sometimes be a challenge to make each one happy, but it’s certainly doable to achieve. Start with the basics of furniture, then each of their personal tastes can be expressed through decor included within the design theme that ties it together.
