A room for two children: optimize space!
For , there are different tips: dividers, mezzanine beds, differently painted walls … Discover our planning tips for creating two living spaces, with the collaboration of Nathalie Partouche-Shorjian, co-creator of the Scandinavian brand of children’s furniture.
A room divider to create different spaces
The trend of the moment is the room separator. Thanks to this module, it is possible to create well-differentiated living spaces for each child. Nathalie Partouche-Shorjian, designer of dividers for the Scandinavian brand “bjorka design” confirms that ” parents can use the divider as a screen, in order to delimit the play, sleep or living space. Each child thus has a corner that respects their privacy “. Another possibility: the open multi-function shelf that separates the space while offering the child the possibility of tidying up your belongings.
A room for two children of the same sex
This is the ideal configuration! If you have two boys or two girls, they can easily share the same room. The younger they are, the easier it is. Two girls, fans of princesses and roses will easily acclimatize and share many things like furniture and toys. Even if they are a few years apart, prefer basic furniture like a common table and chairs for drawing and a single chest of drawers to store their clothes. The beds can be installed in two different places to respect a clearly differentiated space. If you have two boys, a common arrangement is also possible. Think of the large groundsheet, which actually represents a city with drawn roads. They will spend hours driving their toy cars.
A room for two children of different sex
If two children, of different sex, are about to share the same room, you can install them on two levels for example. A mezzanine bed, for the elder, where he can set up a corner of his own, made up of niches and storage. You can install the youngest in a more classic bed that changes over time. Another possibility is to decorate the walls with two distinct colors. Choose different tones that match well, to define everyone’s living spaces like for example a pale blue for the smallest and a bright red for the other. Do not hesitate to put stickers, according to their taste, to personalize their corner even more.
In a rather small room, you can opt for a common wardrobe or chest of drawers. Just paint the drawers of the cabinet for each child in a different color. Another cool tip: install a closet organizer that offers two floors of hangers. Delineate the eldest’s clothes, downstairs for example, as soon as he can help himself in the cupboard. If you can, set up storage boxes for toys, books or other personal effects. Finally, the large storage bookcases, with different niches that you can arrange in two different parts for each child.
