Shared Space for Siblings

Children’s rooms are often shared. A shared bedroom can result in a happy union between two siblings but if a shared space for siblings is not planned carefully, then it can also prove to be a great source of conflict. 

Often a home’s smallest bedroom is assigned to the youngest members of the family. When designing a small shared space, it is important to consider furnishings that offer the potential to maximize the minimal. If you have two-like minded siblings sharing, then a bunk bed could be the answer.

A bunk bed is one of the oldest space-savers, and with new, state-of-the-art designs being launched by the market leaders annually, it still remains one of the best! Bunk beds with integrated storage take advantage of vertical space, leaving more floor area open for play and study.

Parker Bunk Bed

Our Parker Bunk Bed features built-in shelves with integral reversible fascias. The boards are blue on one side and pink on the other, so you can choose the look you prefer to suit your own arrangement. These storage shelves are perfect for helping to customize each child’s sleeping area. Children are natural collectors, so a creative shelving solution that makes use of the empty stretch of wall above each bunk will allow maximum versatility as the interests of each child changes. Decorate the room in neutral tones and allow each child’s personality to run free with a personalised display. Choose bedding that coordinates and reflects each child’s personal style.

Safety First

Before we make it cool, we make it safe!

• earth-friendly (Green Way accredited)
