I think every home is different. Just like the building process is made up of numerous decisions, there are many different ways of sharing rooms at the same time.
Most of us are used to sharing a room with our siblings and the like, but I’ve never lived with anyone with just one person in the home. I’ve always lived with two or more people in one room, though. I had a roommate who lived in a two-bedroom apartment with me and my other roommate. I think the two of us were the only people in the house at the same time, but she was always there with her roommate.
Sharing a room with two people is actually quite common, but usually with roommates who have different preferences. When it comes to sharing a room with two people, there are a lot of factors to consider. For one, it’s nice to have the same room at the same time. If you have a bedroom with one door only, it’s much easier to sleep in one room than trying to find a way to make both the bedroom and the bathroom at the same time.
If you’re sharing a bed with two people, you probably won’t want to have a shared bathroom either. I’ve seen people share a bathroom, kitchen, and living room at the same time. It creates a lot of noise because you need to walk to get into things, and you’ll probably have to make a special trip to get to the bathroom.
Its really not that bad and actually makes for a very relaxing time. You can walk to the bathroom or the kitchen, and you dont need to call out to get there. It doesnt sound so bad, but its just not that much of a hassle.
Not at all. Ive seen people share a bedroom, living room, and kitchen at the same time, and in the end, they have a lot of noise. But not that much.
That said, sharing a room with a friend will be more like sharing a dorm room, or a small apartment. It’s not really the rooms themselves that should be shared, but rather the furniture in those rooms. Of course, the furniture can be shared, but you shouldn’t be sharing them so close together.
But as long as theres room enough to actually be sharing, this could be fine. Ive personally had a roommate move into my apartment and she was sharing a bedroom with me. I thought that was a great idea, but after a year, she was sharing a room with her boyfriend.
I have friends who share a house. The problem is having them share a house together. They dont even have to be buddies because they know each other well enough (or so they thought at first). They are all in the same house and arent even in the same room. Theres also the issue of roommates who want their own bedroom and want to share theirs with their boyfriends.
To be clear, I use the term “room” loosely. The room and my bedroom are not the same thing. My room is my own place and is where I sleep. My bedroom is my own place and is where I sleep. The shared rooms are not shared rooms. Shared rooms are rooms where one person has a room of their own and shares it with a friend.
