Ideas for a shared children’s room
- The children’s room can be a private or shared room. It is a very dynamic room that evolves in relation to the child’s growth and thus to his or her needs.

The sleeping area of the home is a very important room as it is dedicated to resting the body. The children’s bedroom is even more so, as it must be able to meet other needs as well. If, in fact, the children’s room, in the first years of their lives, is a space dedicated exclusively to play, with the passage of time it also becomes a room for rest, study and, in some cases, even a shared environment. It is not uncommon, in fact, for a child’s room to be shared by one or more brothers or sisters.

The shared children’s room must necessarily be equipped with certain functions and comforts that are fundamental for the room’s liveability. Since it is a shared room, in fact, it can happen that while one tenant is devoting himself to studying, the other wants to rest, or while one child wants to play, the other wants to watch a film. How then? It is important, even though it is a single room, to be able to carve out spaces so that the children, then boys, can experience it to the full.
Children’s rooms, although shared, are not always very spacious. For this reason, it is absolutely essential that the spaces are carefully designed and the furniture optimised. To be able to comfortably fit several beds, when space is lacking in width, a perfect idea would be to opt for a bunk or bridge solution.
If it is not convenient to put several single beds in the same room, a bunk bed would be one of the most congenial solutions for a shared children’s room.
Bunk bed models are really quite a lot: they can come in a variety of sizes, shapes and finishes; they can be equipped with a fixed or fold-down ladder or pull-out ladder, and they can be fitted with storage units or sliding drawers. Depending on the specific needs, all that remains is to choose the most suitable and functional solution for a shared children’s room.
The advantages of the bunk bed are diverse and all very valid.
- Spatial benefit: since the bed structure is developed upwards, the footprint towards the centre of the room is greatly reduced.
- Playful advantage: the bunk bed is a dynamic piece of furniture and is perceived by children as playful.
- Functional advantage: the accessories and different configurations allow each bed to be adapted to the child’s needs as they grow.

If, on the other hand, the shared children’s room is characterised by a fairly comfortable surface area, one idea could be to opt for a full-size bed in place of two single beds. Models with storage space are very functional and useful for storing clothes and objects; foldaway single beds are very convenient if, during the day, you want to completely eliminate the clutter of the bed in the shared children’s room.

In the shared children’s room, a play area is indispensable, which in time will be transformed into a study corner.
To delimit the play area, simply place a large carpet with containers in line with the furnishing style of the room.
For the study space you will clearly need two comfortable desks with two chairs (or a single desk but larger) and a bookcase to share, or two if space permits.
If the room is very small, the bookcase can be replaced with wooden shelves or modern shelves, so as to exploit the wall surface in height while leaving the floor free. Hanging bookcases or modular bookcases are also very convenient and functional. Desk and bookcase are an essential combination that characterises all shared rooms for school-age children.

What colours are best for a children’s room?
Colour is a fundamental part of an interior design. Each colour recalls and arouses a specific emotion. Choosing the colours with which to personalise the children’s room is more than just an aesthetic act: this is why it is important that, in the case of a shared children’s room, the shades of the walls, furniture and fabrics are chosen by those who will live in the room.
When choosing the colour, it is necessary to consider that the shared children’s room is a changeable place, so alongside the bright colours, which are very popular with children, neutral colours should not be absent.
Light and natural shades are nowadays the protagonists in children’s rooms furnished in a modern style. If, however, neutral colours such as beige or grey do not represent the character of children, one can move on to
- relaxing colours such as blue or green, which encourage good rest and concentration;
- pastel colours such as powder pink, apple green or sugar paper;
- or colours that pick up on wood essences, combined with a few touches of white, perfect for Nordic-style children’s rooms.
