Answer
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

What is a good decor & bedding theme for boy and a girl that share a room?

Q. We are moving which means our kids will no longer have their own rooms. My 6 yr old daughter and 2 yr old son will have to share a room. Any good ideas for a theme rm that they will both like?
