Hi, we have recently divided a big room for our son 7 and daughter 12 we created a "hallway" leading from the main hallway so both have seperate entrance and don't need to go through each other's room.
We used a big tall kallax unit to separate the space and put a wooden backing on one side so either can't see into the others room at all.
They seem really happy with the set up and we have decorated each side completley differently. They each have a curtain instead of a door that makes each room completley closed off. Obviously it isn't complete separate rooms and they can still hear things in each side but have linked their tv/devices to wireless headphones.
I just really worry that people will think it's wrong because boy/girl please give me some honest opinions. It's the best we can do as can't afford to move and we're in a really nice safe area. They both respect each other's "room" and do not bother the other one if their curtain is closed.
Been stressing all day about it and feel like a bad mum I can't afford to give them their own proper rooms :( husband thinks I'm mad and thinks it fine, thanks.
