Whether your children outnumber your bedrooms or they simply prefer bunking together, a shared bedroom can be one of the joys of childhood
When it comes to decorating a shared bedroom, the key is to create a room which is both fun and functional, but also gives both occupants the opportunity to express their individuality.
BUNK TOGETHER
If your shared bedroom is small, bunk beds are the best way to go as they utilise vertical space while still leaving room on the floor for storage essentials and playtime.
WONDERFUL WHITE
A black and white space never seems to date and is a colour combo that will last for years. The key with this scheme is to include some texture and pattern so it doesn’t seem too stark and uninteresting. This room has white walls, white tongue-and-groove flooring and a white set of drawers. If your room is small, painting everything white and using white furniture will instantly make the space feel bigger (but choose a soft or low-sheen white so it won’t feel glaring). If you have enough room, a nice big rug is great for playtime.
