5 of the best shared kids rooms

February 17, 2015

When it comes to shared kids rooms, bunk beds are the easiest option especially when space is limited. But I’m not a fan of most bunk beds. Apart from the safety thing, with a few exceptions, I’m just not crazy about how they look. Instead I think two beds look so much nicer and often look cosier. With a little imagination and thought, you can fit them in, even in small bedrooms. I went looking for some shared room inspiration and here are my favourite finds:

This small shared kids room sounds like it was a real labour of love. The room is only 10 x 12 feet so the mum didn’t want the beds taking up the whole room. Instead she wanted them against one wall which left playing space even in this small room. As the beds needed to be shorter then regular singles, they made them and even built in storage – the top panels of the beds can be lifted and the bottom panel acts like a storage box.

This eclectic shared kids room is bursting with fun and personality. By using mismatched beds, each child’s area is effortlessly separated without looking like you have two separate areas. The quirky decor across the room brings it all together and it looks so great too. This kind of decor is so perfect for a brother and sister shared space too.

This is another small shared kids room. By placing a large rug in the room, the whole room is brought together in a cheerful and cosy way. The beds are the same but by using different colours each kid has their own side. In small space like this one, a single bedside table is another way of making the best use of the space.

This is a room shared by brothers. While it looks more spacious than some of the other rooms, the space is still maximised by putting the beds at right angles to each other. This gives a big playing space in the middle, perfect for two little boys. I like the simple decor as well ensuring that the room grows with the boys and you don’t have to redecorate every couple of years.

This has got to be one of the most fun shared kids rooms I came across. This room is shared by brothers but it could equally be a unisex shared room or even a room for sisters. Apart from the cheerful black and white decor with pops of yellow, the idea of using shelves as a headboard is great. There’s no need for bedside tables and you get a lot more storage space.

Black and white with pops of red

November 26, 2014

Today, lets take a break from the Christmas gift lists and look at some kids room inspiration. We are moving house next week (eek!) and the new place needs to be done up from scratch. It hasn’t been decorated in 40 years! So my brain is swimming with all kinds of decor ideas which I’ve been collecting on my pinterest boards including ideas for Anya’s new room. While I can’t seem to move away from the whole black and white colour scheme, I’m liking the idea of adding an extra pop of colour especially for a kids room. Recently I came across the above room and it really inspired me to think about red as the extra colour. Have you ever considered red for a kids room? It’s not a colour I would choose as a main one as too much red can be overbearing for me but if used sparingly with lots of white and some black, it can look quite striking. And red is a great colour for boy or girl so it would be a great choice for a shared room too. Here are some of my favourite rooms with pops of red:

As these rooms show, you can add splashes of red in many different ways; one piece of red furniture, red bedding, red toys or even just a bold red poster that stands out will do the trick. Because red is such a bright and vibrant color, you don’t need a lot of it to make an impact. In the third picture I love the blue, black and white colour scheme which works so well with the bright red poster – something a bit different for a boys room. And in the last picture just the smallest red accents look so great. I am really liking this colour scheme for a kids room and maybe this will be the one for Anya’s room. What do you think? Would you consider red as an accent colour?

A twin baby nursery

August 19, 2014

I recently came across a new nursery furniture range from Spain and I loved the modern lines and colourful accents. The range consists of cribs like the ones pictured above, chests of draws in a range of sizes, striped teepees and more. The nursery furniture has a contemporary vibe with unexpected little details like the angled legs and of course the cool colour accents. I chose my two favourite colours to share but there are many more including a beautiful wood and white one. This furniture is the the creation of one of my favourite Barcelona based shops for kids – if you are ever in Barcelona, do check out Nobodinoz but otherwise they are online too.

Rather than just show you the furniture, I thought it would be fun to create a baby nursery mood board and for a change I decided to go for a shared baby boy and girl nursery space – maybe for boy and girl twins. Here’s where you’ll find all the stuff:

Room for two: boy and girl shared bedrooms

July 14, 2014

Sharing a room is fun when you’re a kid. Sometimes though it’s not just about the fun but a necessity if you’re short on space. While same sex shared rooms may seem easier to decorate, boy and girl shared rooms can also work really well with a little imagination and thought. From creating a neutral space to having specific sides decorated differently I’ve rounded up 5 of the most beautiful unisex shared rooms to inspire you:

Using lots of white in the room means you can add pops of colour with boy/girl specific accessories and toys just like they’ve done in the unisex shared room above. With all the white in the room, no bright colour is off limits.

Here the boys side is decorated in blue while the girls side is decorated in creamy florals. The similar prints and complimentary colours bring the room together even though each kid has their own side.

Grey is one of my favourite colours for any kids room including a shared bedroom. I love the different beds and how they’ve used wall stickers to personalise each space. This room is a unisex space but with the addition of accessories, toys and wall decorations it becomes more girly on one side and more masculine on the other.

An all white, minimal space is yet another way of creating a shared boy girl bedroom. In this room, there is nothing too specific about each side except for a few soft toys on each bed. The decor is simple and neutral to suit both sexes.

From all white and minimal, this is a room exploding with colour. Bold, bright unisex colours thrown together create a great shared space for boy and girl. There are no boy or girl sides here, just a complete shared space that works equally for either sex.
