Hi..
I have a 3yr old son and am expecting my 2nd child which is to be a girl. Unfortunately they will be sharing a bedroom but am stuck for some ideas for paint colours. My son is a true boy and loves blue.
The bedroom is quite big. I would also like some advice how in time i could divided the bedroom for privacy for them both.
Any advice would be greatly apprehciated
Many thanks in advance

You don't necessarily have to go with blue or pink of course, you can always try shades of green, aqua or yellow which will work equally well in a little boy or girls room.

As for dividing the bedroom, there are lots of things you can do but it really depends upon the space and whether or not you can divide the space and retain the light (ie., are there windows on both sides of the room?). Ikea do some light voile curtains that are strung on little clips that pull back as needed if you want the light to come thru but still retain a measure of privacy. Otherwise, there are always things like shelving units that can act as room dividers.

Hi there,

Our Homes Expert Donna Hardie has written features on dividing a bedroom for children. Have a look at this [link] and this [link]

Hope they help!
