I have a 11 year old boy and a 7 year old girl who share a bedroom. It's a mish mosh of Hannah Montana, High School musical, skate boarding and sports. I want to make it unisex some how. My daughter isn't so girly to the point where she want's only pink and purple, she's very open to other colors. But I don't want her stuck in a room that's so boyish and I don't want my son stuck in a room so girlish. Neither of them are in to anything cutesy or too young. I feel like the only thing I can do is the basic blue and yellow celestial stuff, BORING! I'm not good with colors outside of the normal neutrals. There room is very small also. Any ideas? I really want them to have a great room!
Answer
Do your children want their own privacy? If so, I would consider getting a divider that separates each one to their own privacy. This way it makes them feel like they have their own room. Then let them decorate with whatever they like. Another idea, if they don't want to be divided is to go with a theme of the beach. Kids love the beach. You could paint the walls part way down with a sand color and the other half a light blue. Then just do decor and accents of the beach. This would be lots of fun for them to do. Their room would be really nice and cheerful and this would be a neutral. Whatever you decide have fun doing it together. Good Luck!

I have one boy and two girls so it needs to be unisex. I want the room to be bright and cheerful. There is a huge window seat that I want to take advantage of. I know I want the furniture to be honey or natural. There needs to be a table for art, a place where they can watch movies and play video games, a place where hey can play with toys, and a place for them to read. This room is huge, almost as big as the master bedroom. I also need an idea for easy storage to make clean up go by quickly.
Answer
Due to the fantastic size of the room you have to work with, you can easily create separate zones for the tasks at hand: Craft area, media area, play area and reading area. Divide the room into four spaces
Putting the media area and the play area next to one another makes sense so the quieter activity areas of crafting and reading can be at the other end of the room. You can use furniture and storage units along with a folding screen to help divide the room into the four zones.
In the reading area, place book shelves at a right angle to the wall to create a cozy area which has comfortable seating and ample lighting. Create a 'library' setting which takes up only the necessary space to read. Next to that, the craft area would work well because the table is close by the library for homework projects. Have a bulletin board for hanging art work and think about spray painting a large area of the wall with chalk board paint, then frame it with molding. The bottom frame portion should be think enough to hold an eraser and a cradle for colored chalk.
In the media area you could use the couch to define it's space, leaving the play area close by without obstructions so the kids can play and watch cartoons at the same time. There are lots of storage units available for clean and neat ways to keep toys in order. Check out Ikea.com to see their vast selection of storage units. Some are available in fun colors which can help you decide upon the color direction you want to go in.
So, take a good look at your room and decide how you want to split it up. Take the window seat and the sunlight into consideration when space planning.
For color, you need some inspiration. You may elect to begin with an area rug in the play area where you can take your color pallet from. Or, go shopping and find fun fabrics for the window seat area. Make large pillows for the window seat that can double as floor pillows, so use durable upholstery fabrics. You may want to have some fun with paint by using more than one color to define the four individual spaces or just have one bright accent wall. Once you select fabrics and or an area rug, the color choices will be easier to select. Do not paint first and then try to match things to the paint as that will frustrate you and narrow down your decor choices to a maddening level.
Remember, you do not have to break up the room into four equal parts. Think about the amount of space you need for all four activities and plan accordingly. Make a floor plan of the room by using graph paper with a scale of one square equaling one foot. Then, make cut outs of the furniture you plan to put into the room. This will give you an excellent insight on space planning and will prevent you from physically moving furniture back and forth. With it all on paper first, you will have the confidence to proceed.
Good luck in your new home.
