Kid brother and sister room decorating ideas?
cacjohnsto
My son will be one this November and my daughter will be two this September. My son's crib is still in our room. in the next few months we plan on having them share rooms. I need some decorating ideas for their room. Should I do half the room in a girly theme and the other half in a boyish theme... Or should I make the whole room a neutral theme? Depending on your answer what kind of them should I have for the room? I need some good ideas!
By the way we will be living in a two bedroom apartment so the room isn't that big and I don't have a huge budget for the room. I need some cheap practicle ideas! Thanks
Answer
You could try a theme that can go girly and boyish. It sounds terrible to gender cast at this early age, but in my experience, its just true, girls will be girls and boys will be boys so its smart to plan that.
If you want a theme, I recomend a castle theme, you can have the whole room in a castle theme (stone, shields, knights, etc.) and the girly stuff the pink and purple princess stuff which allows unicorns etc. Or an easier and probably cheaper route is to choose an (admittedly commercial choice) such as "Disney" and he can have mickey sheets, she has minney. Or sesame street which is less obviously gender specific.
I personally resolved for the time being this question by doing a sort of non-childrens decor. I did off-white walls with one beige wall, all the furniture matching cream wood, throw rug is an "adult" throw rug in browns with red orange, purple, green alphabet letters (kiddy but yet adult) and friendly monster stuffed animals in all colors as the only toys and then all their books as the only toys as the bedroom is just for sleeping or if at bedtime they aren't sleepy they can read the books. But I fear when they get older the kiddy stuff is going to creep in as they have desires of their own. I think in the end, following the practical issues of the below answer are probably more important than the decor. I also agree if the room is small don't split it, find a theme that has a girly and boyish side.

Teenager Girl Bedroom Ideas?
Jenna
Hey! I'm a 13 year old girl, and I need some help. I have been going months on the internet trying to see what bedroom theme I like best. There is pink zebra, colorful but cute, dots, pink and brown, etc. I am also a cheerleader, if that helps. My parents won't really help, and I feel like I'm about to lose my mind! I need furniture, paint, bedding, etc. I really want a little hangout area for me and my friends, but furniture is expensive! I really like loft beds, but another con. My ceilings are really weird! They are slanted in every direction. I also have the biggest bedroom in the house, with a queen sized bed. So if anybody could help me find a cute teen girl theme for my bedroom, I would love you forever! And one more thing, I'm on a tight budget. Thanks! :)

I find picking a theme is a good place to start. I just moved into my first apartment. I went with photography cause its something im passionate about. So I covered my walls with photos my friends and I had taken. Ikea or thirft stores are a great place to shop for furniture and its super easy for students to find deals. Check out this site it has some great pointers
