Sharing the bedroom can help children bond. It can also teach them to compromise and this is a good thing since most siblings squabble. Spending some time on how you design the bedroom will reduce the quarrels and bickering. Here are some tips on how you can make your little ones share this supposedly restful area –
Ask for the Kids’ Opinion
If you want the design to be more successful, then be ready to include the kids in making the decision regarding their bedroom design. Young children will be more than willing to pick out the linens and wall arts that will be placed in their room. If you want a bedroom that will grow up with your kids, then be sure to steer them away from the cartoon character section.
Another way to involve the kids in decision making is to consider their individual personalities. If you can, have each child decorate a separate section of the room, then do so. Each one could have a wall covered with the kind of art that they go crazy over. Just make sure that their choices complement each other by providing them with an edited selection where they could take their pick.
Establish Some Privacy
Even when you are setting up a small bedroom, make sure that each child is given some private space. You can achieve this with compartments, individual desks, or separate toy boxes.
Set Some Rules
There are bound to be arguments but your role is to keep them to a bare minimum. You need to help your little ones learn to respect each other. You can begin by discussing that their personal properties should be just that – their personal properties. You should set the rule that they must ask for permission before they touch any of the other sibling’s personal properties. Teach them also that it is important to knock before opening the door. When the kids know about the rules, then they are likelier to adhere to them.

Involve Even the Youngest Kids
Families that live in smaller homes often have their youngest kid sleep with the parents. More often than not, they spend longer time than necessary especially when the parents do not want to disrupt the routine of an older child.
Don’t fear because in most cases, children can adapt quickly. In fact, they are even happy to share the room with their sister or brother. If you doubt this, then ask other families that have already experienced moving a younger kid to the older one’s bedroom.
Set Boundaries
Apart from the rules, it would also help if you keep the younger child from messing up with the older kid’s possessions. To do this, have the older kids’ toys or properties kept inside a closet or at a height where the younger one won’t be able to reach.
A Secret Place
Remember that everyone needs a hideaway now and then – even little kids. You don’t have to set up a custom hideaway, it can be a simple playhouse or a tepee a few feet away from their beds. This area has to be somewhere where your little ones will enjoy each other’s company without the penetrating gaze of a parent.
A Place for Everything
It is not just important to free up floor space but also other areas of the new bedroom. It is easy for the kids’ bedroom to become messy especially when they have their play area there, too. Children play and horse around so be ready to set up a storage space that can hold all of their stuff.
Most kids are happy about the prospect of sleeping in bunk beds so let them. The underside of beds can also be storage areas for shoes or toys. Better yet, have a special cabinet or chest in their bedroom. The more drawers each cabinet has, the more stuff it can hold.
