Decorating ideas for boys and girls sharing a bedroom?

Dragonfly

I am a teenage girl sharing a bedroom with kid brother. Really, really want to redo our room but can't find any unisex decorating ideas that aren't aimed at really little kids. This is like a 14 year old freshman girl and a 10 year old, 4th grade boy, both very mature. We want something that will make the room a pleasant, comfortable space for both of us. It sucks to share a room, but I think it will be easier if we design it well. Any ideas are appreciated. Links are awesome. Thank you guys SOOO much!!! :)
yeah, i know we are old to be sharing but some people just cant afford big houses with separate rooms for each kid
Thank you so much, "someone somewhere" :) I loved the links!! The room is 12 by 9 feet i think. We have bunkbeds, two dressers, a bookshelf, and a desk. It is pretty cramped but i am totally willing to get rid of things, consoladate, switch stuff out, etc. We are pretty open as far as color schemes go. We both like blue, green, gray, white, purple..

Again, thank u so much!

If you did a room themed like Feng Shui which is like a tranquil Japanese style....you could use rice paper dividers for privacy, it would be modern, mature, and unisex.

Bedroom decorating ideas teenage boy?

Eric Richa

I am in to soccer, cars, and I love blue

Answer
Are you allowed to paint your room and will someone help you to do it?
IF so, Benjamin Moore; Hale Navy, HC 154 is a great colour for a teenage boy who will soon be a young man. White or offwhite trim (Ben Moore, Timid White OC-39) looks great with this colour blue.
Avoid wallpaper borders with soccer balls or cars - you'll outgrow it very quickly.
To bring your interests into the room, you could install some white shelves above the bed or a desk to display some of your favourite items. (Model cars, trophies, books, photos with friends, etc).

I've seen "pillows that look like sports balls" at some of the Big Chain Stores. You might be able to find a soccer ball.

Have a look online for photos of favourite cars or soccer teams etc. or use some of your own favourite photos. Print 8x10, put photos in inexpensive frames, and hang as a group. - Great art for your room.

As you get older, you will easily be able to "can change things up".

hope this helps, professional decorator
