Not all families have the opportunity to allocate a separate room for each child.
Sometimes two children have to share one room.
And it's good if we're talking about children of the same sex. Then the room can be decorated in a single "boyish" or "girlish" style.
What to do if a brother and sister live in the same room?
Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication BelNovosti in the field of design and interior design, listed three important rules that must be followed when decorating a room for children of different sexes.
Personal space
Both the boy and the girl should have personal space. Therefore, the room will have to be zoned.
Partitions or screens will help in this regard. However, you can get by with installing a simple curtain.
Then it will be possible to decorate the two parts of the room differently.
Common space
The need to zone space does not at all indicate a ban on a common area.
Make sure the room has space that is suitable for both siblings. Otherwise, children will rarely communicate.
Save space with a special bed
Personal space should be primarily related to lessons. In other words, each child should have their own desk.
But the bed can be placed in the common area. And, to save space, you can install two-story furniture in the room.
