If you have two kids, you may be able to have them share a bedroom instead of setting up separate spaces for each one. However, each family is different. Before setting up your kids’ beds in their new space, carefully consider both options to determine which one will have the biggest positive impact on your kids.

Benefits of Sharing Rooms

Living in the same room, siblings will spend lots of time together and learn to share the space in a way that works for both of them. Even if this has its challenges at first, it will help them get used to the idea of sharing, which can benefit them as they start going to school and interacting with other kids.

It can also strengthen the relationship between siblings, making them more likely to stay close throughout their lives. Even if you have an extra room, you may want to have your kids’ beds in one and designate the other as a playroom so they can share both spaces.

Benefits of Separate Rooms

When your kids have separate spaces, they have their own dedicated room to take care of. This can encourage them to take pride in keeping their room clean and decorating it to their liking.

This can be especially helpful for those who have kids with bigger age gaps, where varying bedtimes can also be an issue.

Overall, placing your kids’ beds in separate rooms doesn’t mean they can never spend time together, but it does give them added privacy and space to spend time apart. If you want to encourage independence and individual responsibility, this option may be the way to go.
