* For a majority of ''Manga/KaguyaSamaLoveIsWar'', Shirogane and his little sister Kei share a bedroom with a curtain splitting it down the middle for privacy since their apartment only has 2 bedrooms (their father doesn't even have a room of his own and instead sleeps in the main living area due to the other room being used as Shirogane's study room). As a result, Kei gets really excited at the thought of finally having her own room [[spoiler:when their father informs them that they're going to move to a bigger apartment after a fan of his [=YouTube=] streams tries to stalk him.]]

* In the ''WesternAnimation/FIsForFamily'' episode "The Liar's Club", Kevin moves out of the room he shared with Bill and starts living in the basement.

* ''Webcomic/StickyDillyBuns'' sets up one of these plots early on when Ruby Larose arrives in the city and is obliged to share a room and a bed with her older sister Amber. She naturally wishes she could get a place of her own, and this is part of her motivation in her subsequent search for employment. Once she starts earning money she is presumably in a position to start looking, and with both Amber and their other roommate, the (very) gay Dillon, in increasingly settled relationships, sharing their rooms must be increasingly complicated, but nothing happens in this regard before the strip ends, and the plot point ultimately goes nowhere much.
