Default Shared Bedroom Ideas

I am in the process of figuring out a design/theme/color story for my kids to share a bedroom. I want to pick coordinating fabrics and make duvet covers for their existing comforters. the rest will come together off of the fabric. I thought I'd come ask some of the most creative and crafty women I know if you have any ideas...I know a lot of you sew too, so maybe you've seen some things that coordinate but still give a "boyish" and "girlish" look.





this is one option though I find it a tad busy....both the kids like it. Any others you all know about?

I love those prints! I think they'd look cute as duvet covers. Or if you think they'd be too busy, maybe make it reversible and the back side could be solid. That way you can flip it and only have one print visible at a time.

They do look really busy that close to each other but I think as duvet covers on different beds they would look fine since the colors are so similar. I would make most of the accessories in one or two of the solid colors. And if you make your own pillow cases or shams that would be a great opportunity to use the solids.
