Hi---I suggest finding a fun, colorful palette-for boys and girls, (I like orange and turquoise together). Select furnishings that have tone on tone color, patterns, and lots of texture. Keep bedding neutral and identical but add something such as a butterfly or doll on the bed for your daughter and an animal or monster on your son's bed. If you can purchase beds with drawers underneath, that would be excellent. Pics for colors and inspiration... Good Luck! [houzz=][houzz=][houzz=][houzz=]

I have tried to enlarge your plans but they become to blurry to read.....Is there anyway that you can post a larger jpeg?

Is a tv being place in the room? If not, try creating a seating and conversation area floating in the center of the room....maybe with two small sofas facing each other and a coffee table or ottoman in the center. Or two chairs and a sofa, the two chairs are more versatile for layout options. Good luck!

I would suggest using a blackout and thermally insulating roller blind, and sheer drapes inside that. You would be able to use the sheer drapes most of the time, and the blinds for hot sunny weather or TV when the sun is in the wrong place.
