Two kids sharing space? It doesn't have to be a recipe for disaster. Start by taking an honest look at the two kids' personalities: Will they work well side by side, or would it be better to have separate desks? If you go for the double workspace, avoid potential conflict by providing each child with a desk lamp, a cup for pens and pencils, and individual shelf space. Encourage kids to personalize the space by hanging artwork, displaying favorite toys or using vintage letters to spell out their names.
Just as you would in your own office, accessorize your kids’ workspace with things they love. These make it more personalized and comfortable, and less like a barren desk that screams work, work, work.
