Shared Kids Rooms: Boy Girl Rooms

This A Bit of Sunshine room shows a closet-turned-crib-area for a baby girl (she shares the room with an older brother). Bold colors make this room pop! Room paint colors: Sprinkle (wall paint) and Tropical Bloom (behind crib): Valspar. Darling crib shelf  and doily banner.



Designing a boy girl shared room can be a challenge. When creating a space for both genders you will need to incorporate personalities, favorite things and probably favorite colors. Ideas/areas to consider when room-sharing:

Appeal: The room doesn't need to completely match - but does need to work aesthetically.

Colors: Some helpful color hints: reds, blues, greens and yellows work well for both sexes.

Personal and Shared Areas: It's important for each child to have their own zone: a bed, study desk (if needed) and chair. If you're short on room space, there are some areas that can be shared - dresser (own drawers), book shelf and possible window seat.

Here's showing the other side of the room - opposite the crib. Use a dresser instead of a nightstand next to the a bed - this saves on space and still provides the usefulness of a "nightstand" next to the bed.  Boys striped bedding 

Vintage touches are sweet in this eclectic boys/girl room. The dusty blue walls are the perfect backdrop for the color splash of red. Image from Riza Taylor in Australia and blogger at

Vintage Villa Interiors.  Make a pennant banner out of various fabrics to go around the top of the bed canopy.
