How do you decorate a room shared by an 11 year old and 7 year old girl?
I have the same problem except with boys. lol Here is how I handled the situation. I drew an imaginary line down the middle of the room. The room was painted the neutral color. The boys had personalized accent decorations on their respective sides of the room. The making of a Jake side and a Robby side let each of them have their own space even though the shared one room. I sat with both of the boys to brainstorm. First thing was to choose the color pattern. The older one wanted purple and black while the younger wanted blue and green. (And I thought a common color would occur! lol) I chose an extremely light gray color for their walls. For the bedding, I found reversible comforters that had their colors. Now for the decorating part. It is much easier to decorate the accessories than to do the room. You would not believe how tastes can change between 11 and 14. lol I chose to keep everything neutral except what was on each boys’ side of the room. I made a corkboard for each of the boys
