I eventually want my daughters to share a room. My oldest will be 3 on Saturday and her sister is 15 months. I was wondering what the best age to put them together would be or if anybody had advice about the transition. I was thinking I'd wait until the youngest went to a toddler bed.

Absolutely no need to wait; my 2 daughters shared a room from when the youngest was 8 months. They got very used to each other quickly and are now aware of waking each other up etc (which has very rarely happened even when she was a crying baby). Go for it; overall it's a really lovely experience for them..

Salutations!
When you feel that the two of them are able to peacefully share a room would be the perfect time. I allowed my children to share a room when my new born was fresh home from the hospital because my other children were already prepared for the baby before the baby was even born. They loved having the baby in the room with them and would let me know if the baby was woke or crying. Most of the time I would monitor the baby with a radio monitor and it all worked out fine. However, it is not the same for every person and different situations call for different measures.
Thank you for your question and I hope that I have been of some help to you!

I have 3 girls....and until we bought a house with enough rooms 2 always shared. The first two shared a room when one was in a twin & the other a toddler bed. Then as they got older the oldest got her own room and the younger two shared....as soon as the "baby" was out of the crib. After the first few nights of giggles and playing it worked out fine. It was actually harder to get my middle one to sleep in her own room alone when we moved!

It would be better to wait until you put the 15 month old in a toddler bed before you put both girls in the same room.
You could try it now (with the crib) but sometimes that just does not work because the older one could teach the younger one how to climb out or they could both be in the crib playing and break it.

I think the only concern now would be safety. Is the 15mths old energetic, if so I will suggest that you put her in the room when she is sleeping, make sure you do a constant check on the both of them. If she is not sleeping, make sure you are in the room unless she is in her crib/playpen. You would want her to get familiar with that room. I have a 14 mths old and she is very energetic, I have to keep a close eye on her at all times. She goes to sleep with her big sister when she feels like it.

My sister and I were in the same room from the time she was born, so we never knew anything else.
If a transition is in order, I'd wait until the youngest is on a steady sleeping schedule (if she isn't already) before you risk interrupting the older girl's sleep.

I would not do that some children need their space your three year old might get mad.unless you explain to her would it be fun to share your room with your brother are sister and see how she feel about that and you could take from there

the best idea is to slowly move them in together. moving them in to soon may cause huge conflict between each other
