How should I rearrange my room?

Q. My bed is facing opposite the window and so is my sister's bed.How should I rearrange our room so it can look cool looking for my friends and feel at home at the same time.Plz someone send me a pic of a cool looking room so I can get some ideas! Btw our room is pretty big.

A. Well since two of you share a room, you probably "hang out" in there a lot, especially with friends. Why dont you put each of your beds long ways against the walls (across from each other) and get lots of big pillows and put them against the wall, so that it makes like two sofas!

Then get a big rug and put it in the middle of your room. Find some floor cushions and you'll have more of a "hang out" room, than a bed room.

If you don't have a TV already, see if you can get one. Put it on the wall that the beds are not on! So that everyone can hang out and watch TV from the floor or sofas(beds).

Good luck!!


How should I decorate my kids room a boy and girl 9 and 11?
Q. they both share a room its the master bedroom ...what colors,patterens,divide it into a girl and boys room

A. Personally, I think that 9 to 11 is a huge jump, maturity wise, especially with girls. She's probably starting to think about boys and friends and clothes,etc, and the boy is still a "little kid". It's important that you divide the space A: she's on the verge of becoming a teen and needs her own space to have privacy and escape and RELAX (i'm sure they love each other a lot but also get on each other's nerves) & B: once girls and boys start to mature it's better if they have separate bedrooms. You could definately divide the room up in a cool way. You could go to pottery barn for example, or somewhere similar, and buy some sheers with the cable system: (maybe in white or something neutral)

or you could buy some room dividers (like the folding screens)
a "central space" is also an option. (a lounging, hanging out neutral space) Here you could have a pink floor chair and a blue, you could buy a different, more gender neutral rug, buy some girlier lamps for her, some wall decals for him, just mixing and matching. http://www.pbteen.com/gift/thm/thmlng/thmlngffb/
Or you could make their study space on the dividing line. And make it reflect both your little girl and little boy.http://www.pbteen.com/gift/thm/thmstu/thmstusbs/ (of course these are just starting points, you can always change things up)
If you cleanly divided the room, in the center, where the dividing (invisible of course) line is, you could put a couch and a rug and a tv, or their desks and a rug, or a long dresser that has her drawers on one side, his on the other, etc. you get the idea.
Pottery Barn Kids and Pottery Barn Teen are both great magazines that have wonderful ways of decorating rooms. They are also a great way to look for inspiration or cool ways of doing rooms. Take a look at their websites, and call for a catalog to brouse through for ideas. :) www.potterybarnkids.com & www.pbteen.com. Talk to your kids about how they might want their space to look. They each have the'r own preferences, hobbies- maybe she like dancing and he likes the ocean, etc etc. They probably both have great ideas... If you do decide that you just DON'T want divided rooms, you want them to share, take a look at this:

You could always choose basic furnature, and have each pick out their own bedspreads, rugs, (little things)
Whatever


Any ideas for 2 girls and boy sharing 1 bedroom?
Q. We have a 4 year old girl, 2 year old boy and 11 month old girl. Pictures would be great to get some ideas!

A. Crib for the 11 month old, bunk beds for the 4 and 2 year old. 2 year old gets the bottom bed. Paint the room a gender neutral color, like yellow or a creme color. One side is for the girls to keep their things and the other is for the boy. Get separate trunks for their toys and let them help decorate too. Separate closets if available, if not, divide it equally, one side for each. Make sure there are no heavy items that can fall on the children. Bolt them down if necessary. Install child safety locks on drawers and doors if necessary. Kids are curious and will inevitably get into trouble at some point. Good luck.
