Decorating ideas for boys and girls sharing a bedroom?

Dragonfly

I am a teenage girl sharing a bedroom with kid brother. Really, really want to redo our room but can't find any unisex decorating ideas that aren't aimed at really little kids. This is like a 14 year old freshman girl and a 10 year old, 4th grade boy, both very mature. We want something that will make the room a pleasant, comfortable space for both of us. It sucks to share a room, but I think it will be easier if we design it well. Any ideas are appreciated. Links are awesome. Thank you guys SOOO much!!! :)
yeah, i know we are old to be sharing but some people just cant afford big houses with separate rooms for each kid
Thank you so much, "someone somewhere" :) I loved the links!! The room is 12 by 9 feet i think. We have bunkbeds, two dressers, a bookshelf, and a desk. It is pretty cramped but i am totally willing to get rid of things, consoladate, switch stuff out, etc. We are pretty open as far as color schemes go. We both like blue, green, gray, white, purple..

Again, thank u so much!

If you did a room themed like Feng Shui which is like a tranquil Japanese style....you could use rice paper dividers for privacy, it would be modern, mature, and unisex.

Paint ideas for shared boy/girl bedroom?

Melissa144

We have boy/girl twins who are three and are moving into a new house where they will share a 17x10 room with a ceiling that is on the low side. I don't want to make the room too busy but I'd love to incorporate two different colors (they are asking for blue and purple). They are still in small toddler beds that are white and the room has nice white chunky base molding and framing around the windows and doors.

One thing I have seen and lived was a room with very high chair molding to separate two colors: a nice green on the bottom and yellow on the top of the wall and the entire ceiling. Made the room look larger but not colors my kids love. Wondering if anyone has seen or done something creative in this situation? Thanks!

Answer
What about light blue and light purple? Maybe paint 2 walls in their color choices and the other two walls in a soft white so it's not too dark?
