Plenty of room for two

Sharing a room can be fun for kids and builds a sense of security, but a little me-space and time out from time-to-time is equally important. Creating a space that caters to all the needs of small children can be difficult, especially when you have twins! So how do you create a fun, safe space that’s good for play, ensures good sleep and caters to the storage needs of a family with young children?
In this colourful shared room of two toddlers, pedagogical details and flexible furniture provide a place for play, exploration and sleep. Cots are placed on opposite sides of the room, allowing plenty of space for their individual style and needs, as well as allowing them to fall asleep and wake up at different times without disturbing each other.
Simple illustrations on walls and textiles liven up the Scandinavian inspired colour scheme of white walls and natural light woods. A colourful rug in the centre creates a colourful focal point and also dampens sound when noise and energy levels run high. Finally, functional areas like high up storage on the walls for the parents and lower cabinets for the kids create plenty of space for rest and play.

Create small zones in the room that have a clear function and purpose such as sleep, play and storing clothes. This can be done with rugs on the floor, as well as different lighting and storage.
They grow up so fast!
