Do not disturb: creating privacy in a shared bedroom

While social time is a big part of what makes a family a unit, all members of a multigenerational household need privacy, too. It isn’t straightforward with shared bedrooms, but clever use of storage, home furnishing solutions and room dividers help balance out together time with much-needed solo endeavours.

Two styles, one room

Teenage siblings may be two peas in a pod, but with developing tastes and interests, it’s important to make room for individual styles within a shared bedroom. The answer? A curtain divider that forms separate areas for organising and decorating in two totally unique ways. Pull it back when it’s time to chat!

A bedroom for time together or alone

What can be done when an early bird and a night owl share a bedroom? Be flexible, we say. A decorative, folding room divider will easily shift around to create a secluded area for midnight reading. Problem solved.

A stylish bathroom for sharing

Sharing a bathroom comes with challenges, but none that can’t be solved with the right storage and a beautiful, pared-back palette of materials. With a two-drawer basin unit, towel hooks side-by-side and a bamboo chair that serves as storage for textiles and toiletries, it’s as good as sorted.

Take simple moments

Tranquillity in a large household can be as simple as a perch by the window. Make sure that a stool isn’t far away, then enjoy some quiet time in a favourite spot after the morning rush is done.

Find time alone, together

The bedroom can be a grown-up sanctuary. Starting with an upholstered bed draped in sumptuous blankets and cushions, finish it with moody lighting, including a dimmable LED lamp with wireless charging so everything is right there.
