A DIY enthusiast has revealed that thanks to a very savvy hack, she has been able to divide one of the bedrooms in her home into two. So if you’ve got two kids fighting over sharing a room, but can’t afford to pack up and move house, then you’ve come to the right place and will need to listen up. Natasha Jade, a savvy mum-of-three from the UK, explained that thanks to bunkbeds and a cheap buy from Wickes, she was able to give her kids some much-needed space - and all without having to sell her house and relocate.

Thrilled with her simple but super effective trick, Natasha took to social media to share it with others, leaving many open-mouthed. Posting on DIY On A Budget, a private Facebook group with 2.2 million members, Natasha uploaded snaps of the bedroom, which has bunkbeds in the middle. Alongside the post, Natasha wrote: “We used bunkbeds to divide a room. “Cost £10 for the plywood, reduced in Wickes and the paint we already had.”.

Natasha then confirmed that she lives in a three-bedroom house and has three children - her eldest daughter, 10, another daughter, six and a son, two. Natasha told Fabulous that her six-year-old daughter, who has additional needs, was sharing the middle sized bedroom with her two-year-old brother. But the young girl “wanted her own space”, which is why Natasha decided to move them into the biggest room and divide it into two.

Using plywood and a lick of paint, Natasha was able to give her little darlings their own space with much-needed privacy, despite sleeping in the same room. And now, each side of the room has been decorated to suit each child, with the two-year-old boy’s ‘man cave’ kitted out with dinosaurs, cars and Bluey toys. Meanwhile, on the other side of the room, in the young girl’s part of the room, she has a huge range of plush toys and books.

Not only is everyone happy now, but the divided room looks fabulous too. The ultimate guide for homeowners and renters:. Facebook users were impressed with Natasha’s DIY project and many flocked to the comments to share their thoughts on her ‘clever idea’. That is fantastic. One person said: “Omg love this idea!”.
