There is 21 months between my 2 (girl eldest), and so far there hasn't been any dramas.. I know, prob in the next few years, I am going to have to separate them, but at this age, i think it is fine.. The do most things together, are really good friends most of the time, so sleeping in the same room seemed the natural thing to do.
My boys are 19 months apart - and are now both at school. When we moved into a house with more bedrooms we offered them the choice - share a room still and have a separate playroom or separate bedrooms. They looked at us horrified - please don't make us sleep in different rooms they said. So shared room it was And they still wouldn't be apart!!
I have 4 bedrooms plus a study. The girls currently share a room, we have a dedicated play room and a guest room. Prior to that they had separate bedrooms and XDP had his own bedroom.
Getting the toys out of the living room into the playroom has been great. I've also put a sofa bed in there so that they can have sleepovers in there when they're older and/or I can have people over for dinner and the kids can watch a movie in the playroom so that the adults can actually have a conversation
It's also much easier getting them to sleep in the same room rather than in separate rooms. Obviously, we have nights where it all goes to pot but generally, they're pretty good.
I only have one child at the moment, but I love having a play room! I would try and have them room together, but if they were keeping each other awake maybe move them?
