I think that room on Blackish is so cute. I don't know how to paint/decorate. I am having trouble because most rooms you see with shared boy/girl rooms they are twin beds and each side decorated differently. I will have a Twin over full bunk/loft bed. The kids really like the sports decals.. I am not tied to them but unsure how to pull this room together with either paint or something. UGH.. I wanted to hopefully paint next weekend. Any other ideas.

I was also going to suggest twin beds pushed together...it makes sense to do this..You can still do one tufted headboard so it looks like a king bed. Or keep your existing king until it needs to be replaced. Save some money, right? You can get a headboard to attach to the wall (I prefer this, myself). I'm not a huge fan of bed skirts, but there are neater ones with box pleats. What about something like this for the reading nook area?: I've never met a kid who wouldn't love this...I did it for my own daughter (her room was jewel tones so I used vintage saris and stamped gold designs around the doorways--kind of a Moroccan feel). I don't find wallpaper difficult to hang. Especially if you're only doing one wall (corners can get tricky). Repositionnable (self stick) wallpaper, I found to be a real pita. You have a large sheet and it sticks to itself and the wall where you don't want it to (think trying to hang an 8 foot sheet of contact paper). Paste or prepasted is slippy so you can slide it over the wall....SO much easier... My now adult daughter still likes the boho look, and we put three of these at differing heights in a corner of her room in her new apartment. They're not electric, but we got some remote controlled led lights. They're magic. If you prefer the chandelier, there's this one from etsy. If you use a very low bulb, it can stay on as a night light and you can use the bedside lamps for real light...

Those Pax wardrobes are fabulous storage options. I'd go with white, for sure. The Pax didn't work in our bedroom but I think it's partly because they were at the entrance of the room. Surrounding the window as you have it in your layout would work heaps better. They look great in Lyfia's pics. I'm also short and feel claustrophobic with tall furniture so that's my bias.

the bed is cute. I'd replace the rest of the furniture if possible. Craigslist furniture paint and new pulls will go a long way. If you want to spend a little more on a dresser. Ikea has a fabulous Hemnes dresser. It's large and $250 [often on sale] and is actually great quality. I'd also replace the ceiling fan with a fun light. [Amazon, Ikea, home Depot]. Add cute curtains and wall decals, a pretty comforter and throw blanket and it could be fabulous. we did my daughter's room when she was 13. she told me colors and helped pick out fabric and the rest I did. She loved it. She did tire of the colors quickly so I was glad that was easy to change. [Pink/Green]. I had done bedding in a pink/green/black print. Hindsight I would have gone white and used those colors as accent pillows, etc. Thankfully I went neutral on furniture and walls with just accents in her colors [the decals were pink green black dots] She took down decals as she got older except for the wall saying which is still there [she's 20 now]. 'Be your own kind of beautiful. For walls I'd do a bulletin board idea that she can put pictures, cards, etc. on. A couple cute canvases. I also recommend something in her initial. I went to Hobby Lobby and bought a large Letter and used mod podge and added various pictures of her in B&W. Also a full length mirror from walmart [$20] and a bean bag or convertible chair, etc. for lounging. When I did my other daughter's tween/teen room I focused on white bedding with accent colors in the pillows. Her room worked better for longevity. A few canvases on the wall. Her initial in pictures like her sister; a photo pin board and voila. Again make sure it grows with her so keep the colors to accents and theme to a minimum [if she loves giraffes for example don't do giraffe everything, get a canvas and maybe a little statue for dresser but the rest not giraffe lol]. Also look at pinterest for ideas. I think it's great to talk budget with her too and let her have fun finding deals and learning how to buy within a budget. have fun. it goes so fast. Trish
