Twins sharing room

[TwoLittleTwins]

My 6 month old twins will soon be ready for their own room. We have a 3 bed house (no other children) and I am wondering whether to split them up or not. Any thoughts from other twin parents? if your twins did share, how long for?

My twins, 6 next month, technically share a room but in practice neither of them sleep in there!
We have another child, 4 bedrooms so could split them up but it's handy having a dedicated spare room.
We have never really considered separate bedrooms, and they've never wanted to be apart - as they get older, we will follow their lead (I just hope they are in agreement with each other on this!).

They shared until they were around nine or ten years old, then one evening slightly younger dd appeared about an hour after bedtime, carrying her duvet and pillow, and announced she couldn't be doing with her sister keeping her awake and she was moving into the spare room. Which she did!

It can make your life much easier if they’re sharing the same room, especially when you’re stumbling around for those frequent middle-of-the-night feedings. It also helps get them on the same schedule when you’re not schlepping from one room to the next. And they are likely comforted by each other’s presence. My friend found that hers slept better when they were together. Once they were old enough to walk and climb, they always ended up getting into each other’s toddler beds. Her twins are now almost three. She decided not to fight it and bought them a queen size bed and they are totally happy together. There’s plenty of time, if you have the space, to give them each their own room as they get bigger (and want some privacy).
For the twins I used to babysit a very long time ago, sharing a room was a distraction during bedtime, especially when they transitioned out of cots into beds from which they can climb in and out. Naptime can also become playtime when there's a buddy in the room.
Don’t worry too much about them losing out on the ability to bond as twins because they’re going to spend a lot of time together in the daytime, feeding, and playing.
