We find out in less than a week what the sex of the baby is, but even if it's a girl, she will be sharing a room with her 4yr old half brother. We only have him every other weekend, so only 2 nights, sometimes even one night out of the week he stays. The room is certainly big enough for the 2. So we've decided to go with a green/teal type decor (which is fine bc even if it's a girl i HATE pink) We also want it to be something that they can grow in.. we're not sure how long till we'll move into a bigger house, but for now this has to work! Any ideas on how to decorate it without it seeming too baby like, or too little boy like???
Thanks for the insult Jessie K... Didn't anyone teach you that if you dont have anything nice to say then you should shut up? Thanks to everyone else for their wonderful input!
Answer
I would steer the room toward the older child, not the baby. The baby isn't aware of the room but a 4 year old will be aware that you are changing things for the baby. Keep a bassinette in your bedroom for the newborn for 6 months so the little boy has his room to himself until the baby can sleep through the night.

Ideas to decorate a bedroom shared by son and daughter?

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!

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!
