The Shared Kids Room

Copy Cat Chic - Boy and Girl shared kid's bedroom using neutrals, whites and lots of texture as a base for color and kid's furniture & accessories from Wayfair

A couple of weeks ago I shared with you guys my inspiration and thought process behind the our kids’ room. We’ve had a few things we were able to accomplish since then! Painting? Check. Updated light fixture? Check. Hanging chair? Yasss. Bunk bed? Oh yeah. Want to see some in progress pics?

I was so excited to partner with Wayfair on this post because it meant I was able to get the bunk bed that I’ve been drooling over for years. The Wayfair Oeuf Perch Twin Bunk Bed has been on my wish list for awhile now because of Oeuf’s high quality design and small footprint. It’s surprisingly sturdy for how minimal the design is. And it’s flexible! You can separate the the top bunk and create a separate loft and twin bed. Such a great multi-use design. And really, you have to admit, it’s one of the best designed bunk beds around. So iconic. It’s not cheap, but it’s actually pretty reasonably priced if you research high-quality bunk beds. If you want something solid that will last awhile you’re going to need to pay more in this instance. This is one of those big ticket items where I’m a-ok with paying more, since it will be sticking around for awhile.

There’s still a few things we need to get done in here. Top priority now? Shades. This room is like an oven in the evenings. Man does it bake. We need some blackouts stat. Also on the to-do list? I need to whip the little desk nook into shape. I’m planning for it to be a little homework station for the kids later on. Maybe now? Just arts & crafts. And I think we need to add some more color. The room is pretty Arden-strong right now…she knows what she likes and sticks with it. Where as Conrad is still all over the place when it comes to what he likes. First it’s trains, then tractors, then dinosaurs…lol. I’d like to add more things that he loves into the room, but of course, that comes with time.

My number one goal for the room was to create the perfect backdrop for their personalities and I think we succeeded. Can’t wait to see the room develop!

  2. Can you tell me where the dresser and the “FOR LIKE EVER” print are from? thanks!!

  3. pRETTY SURE THAT DRESSER IS AN IKEA HEMNES. i HAVE ONE TO ASSEMBLE FOR MY NURSERY. LOVE THAT LAMP AS WELL AND THE PENDANT.

  5. I’ve been hanging-chair-hunting for a month for my place, but had read that pier 1 recalled their swingasans. is it only for ones bought before fall 2015? i’d love to know if you/the kids find it comfortable and if you’d think it’s good for adults to sit in – it’s such a bargain!

    • Hi Elizabeth! Sorry I didn’t see your comment until just now! The ones that got recalled are the ones with the stand alone bases, I think. We love ours and I sit in it with both kids to do storytime 🙂

  6. I am so thankful that my kids each have their own rooms. Space is important 🙂

  10. I love the bright white walls and the minimalist design. My boys share a room too. we just set up their bunk bed and are a few weeks away from a clean white and pale gray paint job.

  13. I have to show this to my daughter. She would love it. She has twins and even though they are still in cribs will be moving to big beds soon and she’s looking for ideas.

  15. That’s a really nice bunk bed! I love the ideas and the room itself. Modern furniture always catches my attention, this room is delightful!

  23. I love the room, especially the chandelier. I think this would be a great room for my son.

  24. I remember when I was little, I used to share room with my sister. It is so much fun sharing room with siblings.

  25. I love your theme, this could be a nice one for my son. But I am not sure if I am ready to give him his own room.

  27. My daughter has the “for like ever” poster in her daughter’s room. I love it. You’ve created a room any kid would love!

  30. This is such a beautifully decorated room. I enjoy shopping at wayfair, i bought my makeup vanity table from them and I’m looking into buying more items, i just need the space.

  32. What a beautiful room. I like how bright and airy it is. Also, that hammock swing? Where did you get it!! My daughter would love me forever if I got her one.

    • Hi Ladana! I have it under the sources above. You just need to scroll a little. It’s from wayfair 🙂
