Room for two

So, you have two kids and both want their own separate space and you have one room for them? wondering what to do and how to ensure both get the attention they deserve and the space they should have? Worry no more...as this is a common problem with many parents and has solutions that you can easily implement in their room!
You can help kids establish personal space, by placing single beds on opposite sides of the room or...... 
 setting up room dividers to create the privacy they need
The room can also be visually divided by using different colours (may be the child's favorite colour or neutral colours)  ...
or using different patterns of  the same or complimentary colour. Doesn't this look great and give them the space?
Open shelving is also one of the easiest ways to divide a shared space without closing off the different areas completely.
If you're short on space, bunk beds save on room but still give each child his own place to occasionally hide away.
Or you can create zones- For example, a bunk bed can be a sleeping zone, a pair of desks against the wall can serve as be the study zone 
If the orientation of your room is a challenge considering the size, the position of doors, window, beams and columns, then you can get professional help from a designer. Believe me, using every inch to the optimum is  worth every buck that you spend and you will see happy smiles on your childrens faces.
