Having two or more boys nearing in age in the house at the same time can be quite a handful. Double the energy, double the bathtime protests, and double the amount of messy rooms! The thought alone is enough to drive any mom up a wall. Taking the concept of shared bedrooms into consideration, especially if your boys have always been separate, is one that requires a lot of thought. While separates are a great way to help kids foster their own sense of independence and responsibility, shared rooms are a great way to help children bond, get along better, and feel the comfort provided by having a sibling so close. Plus, being able to free up an extra bedroom in your home offers tons of possibilities for play rooms, much-needed home offices, and even a nice, relaxing space where mommy can retreat to, to get a little bit of free time. If you’re thinking of allowing your boys to share a bedroom, these creative spaces will definitely offer some inspiration.
