Many individuals grow up having to share a room with their
younger brother or sister. The shared space may encroach on the privacy
of the older sibling, but with contrasting wall decor and room dividers, sisters can feel as if they are living in separate worlds.
A young child's choice of bedroom decor may contrast greatly from her
older sister's personal style. By setting a divider in the middle of
the space, parents can decorate their young child's room geared towards
her personal interests. Wall graphics of princess castles, rainforests or Barbie dolls can cover her walls without her older sister vetoing the decor.
On the other side of the room, the older teen can choose patterned removable wallpaper
that appeals to her individual style. Whether it's a bold pattern in
muted colors or a soft floral print in vibrant shades of pink, the
teenager can let her creativity run wild in her newly personal space.
The illusion of separate rooms may create a better environment for
the sisters' relationship and decrease the prevalence of insignificant
bickering over borrowed clothes.
