Designing for two doesn't have to be drab.
If you are on a mission to decorate a room for two girls with two different styles, fret not. It can be done with ease and an end feeling of satisfaction from everyone in your family. Sharing a room with a sister can seem like it is the end of the world for a child, but by designing the room through consesus and imaginative ideas, it is possible to have a succesful outcome .
Instructions
1. Conduct an interview with each girl to determine what key ingredients they would like included in their space.
2. Keep the room unified. Do not attempt to divide the room into two separate spaces with bulky furniture or makeshift dividers. Instead, give each girl a defined space within the larger area. Use colors which were chosen by each girl in their interview, to divide the space.
3. Think bold color for the main, shared area. Paint the walls one color that each girl can agree on. In their individual areas, build up the colors and a theme to match each girls interest.
4. Give each girl a space in the room to display their own photos, posters, knick knacks, and toys. Creating a space that they will feel comfortable in and like it's theirs will reinforce the idea that this room is for each of them.
5. Individualize a work desk in each girls space. In a shared room, it is important to encourage maximum focus tools for their studies. Because they are always going to be in the same space, distractions are going to be higher than in individual space.
6. Give the girls the tools to keep the room clutter free. Clean up will be a breeze if everything has a place. Use small, medium and large baskets to designate a home for every item.
