Lea’s young daughters, aged nine and 12, share a bedroom and originally slept in a bunk bed, but the clever mum opted to detach the bunk and hang a divider from the ceiling between the two single beds.

Posting images to a popular parenting group, Lea revealed she bought the two decorative partition screens from Facebook marketplace and painted both white with help from her son.

To ensure the MDF dividers don’t move or fall, they were attached to the ceiling with industrial eye screws placed through battens with rigs drilled through each screen.

But Lea added the partitions ‘aren’t completely suspended’ as the weight of the screen sits comfortably on the floor.

Lea was desperate to find a solution to stop the children from bickering because the fighting was ‘killing her’.

What other ways can you create privacy in a shared bedroom?

* Add a sheer curtain to it as well with fairy lights at night for privacy and a bit of glam 

* Make the bottom quarter or third of the screen as solid, just for that extra privacy when on they are on their bed

* Use different decor on either side to make each child’s space feel more like their own, personal hideaway  

The bedroom space was then decorated with ceiling fixtures, art prints and two $29 Kmart bedside tables.

‘We now have two happier girls, for little cost; and still allows light through the window to keep the room bright!’ she wrote.

While the DIY required some construction work to install the divider, the end result seemed to work splendidly.

Parents wanting to execute a similar project but don’t wish to insert screws into the ceiling may consider purchasing the popular rattan-style Kmart room screen, which is currently on sale for $49 down from $69.

The Facebook post swiftly received attention from more than 1,700 others part of the online community.

‘This is quite beautiful, I love the simplicity of the decor. Very clever,’ one mum wrote.

‘This is such an awesome idea. Well done!! You could even add a sheer curtain to the head end of the screens for that little added extra privacy,’ another mum suggested.

A third added: ‘Best idea, I absolutely love this look and feel.’
