How to decorate a bedroom shared by siblings

Siblings sharing a bedroom has many advantages. It helps them grow closer and forge a unique bond, teaches them to share from a very young age, and encourages cooperation and play between them.

However, when decorating a bedroom shared by siblings, you need to take the available space into account above all.

Based on this, you can plan to fit two single beds side by side or bunk beds. Within these, there are more or less imaginative options, such as house-shaped frames or other fantasy themes.

Bunk beds also help you make the best use of the space.

Key points in decorating children's bedrooms

Besides the beds you choose, it's important to bear these points in mind:

  • Choose a decorative theme: if the siblings share interests, you can decorate their room around a single theme: dinosaurs, superheroes, the universe, the animal or plant world, etc.
  • Divide the space into zones: it's important to create distinct areas in the room: a play area, a sleeping area, a study area… Elements such as paint or wallpaper, rugs and shelves can help set each space apart.
  • A dominant neutral palette: to help them rest, it's best for the room's main colour to be neutral, light or pastel. You can then bring in touches of bright colour with the décor or toys.
  • Storage: a hugely important part of a children's bedroom. Furniture should allow for practical storage and, if possible, be within reach of the little ones so they can take charge of keeping their room tidy. Furniture with low shelves, open units with drawers so they can put everything away, wardrobes with sliding doors… This furniture needs to hold the children's toys, clothes, accessories and other belongings.
  • Study area: if space allows, ideally fit two desks, one for each brother or sister. That way it will be easier for them to get on with their homework or projects every afternoon and concentrate. Give them comfortable chairs and good lighting.
  • Personalised décor: let the children personalise their own sleeping space, as it will make them feel more comfortable and special. They can put posters, drawings or photos on the walls, shelves with their own books or figures, as well as cushions with their names or a board to display their artwork.

How to choose children's bedding

It's very important to choose suitable textiles for little ones, above all made from natural fibres such as cotton.

We can't guarantee that a fabric won't cause allergies, because that depends on each person. Our textiles are certified OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100, Class I: tested for harmful substances against the limits that apply to baby articles.

Other tips when choosing their bedding:

  • Size: Make sure you buy bedding that fits the size of the bed you've chosen. If in doubt, measure the bed or check the size guides.
  • Prints and colours: Consider each child's tastes and personality. They all have their preferences for particular characters, motifs or colours.
  • Season: Take each season into account when choosing children's bedding. For winter, choose thicker, warmer fabrics, such as a duvet cover, and for the milder months a bedspread will be perfect.
  • Washing: Bedding should be easy to wash and care for. Look for fabrics that don't crease and can be machine washed on programmes that help remove stains. We all know children tend to get things dirtier than adults.
