Sharing a bedroom, whether with a sibling or a roommate, can certainly be a challenge when you want everyone to feel comfortable. Luckily, these 21 simple tips are all about combining your different styles and truly making the most of your room’s potential.
Large Monogram Art Adds Personal Touch Above Beds
If you want to give each child a clear space in a shared bedroom, large custom monograms hang above each bed. These bold graphics are displayed on white canvases, each with dark lettering.
Built-in Bed Drawers Keep Kids’ Toys Organized
Below the kids’ beds are deep green built-in drawers. They sit against neutral wood-paneled walls and feature dark hardware.
Artwork That Adds Playful Color Above Nightstands
When the space between beds feels too open, a framed piece of abstract art with colorful shapes can fill the gap. It’s centrally displayed, using a palette of oranges, pinks, and blues that echo the room’s pastel walls and bedding.
Floral Wall Decals Add Whimsy Above Beds
If a plain wall above the beds feels bare, a scattering of delicate floral decals can add a playful touch. These are small, scattered flower illustrations in muted tones.
Wooden Shelves Displaying Themed Decor Above Beds
Style floating wooden shelves above each bed with items reflecting your kids’ interests. You might place a globe, a rocket toy, and books on one shelf, or action figures and a basketball on another.
Canopy Drapes Create Cozy Nooks Above Twin Beds
Sheer fabric drapes from the ceiling over twin beds. For the canopy, pick soft, muted colors such as blush pink or muted gold.
This creates distinct zones for each bed.
Sports Pennants and Vintage Art Add Personal Flair
Above the beds, a collection of sports pennants and framed vintage prints hangs on the wall. The blue and white colors from the pennants echo in the bedding and curtains.
Gray Drawer Units Organize Small Items Between Beds
Gray, in the form of a low-profile nine-cube organizer, is placed between the twin beds. It holds books, games, or small toys.
Wall Pocket Organizer For Small Items Near Beds

Floral Wingback Headboards Add Pattern Above Twin Beds
Above twin beds, wingback headboards upholstered in a floral fabric introduce a bold pattern. Their specific design gives each side of the shared space a touch of vintage charm.
Layering various throw pillows in complementary colors and patterns rounds out the bed’s look.
