சுருக்கமாக
A Children’s bedroom in the North-West is the placement the tradition asks for — this is the ideal, not a compromise.

Best placed in the North-West
The north-west is the corner of movement, which the tradition reads as suiting children approaching the age of leaving — students, and young adults about to move out.
What the North-West governs
The north-west — Vayavya — is the air corner: movement, circulation, things that come and go. Guests, storage in transit and utilities sit here easily, and nothing meant to be permanent does.
Where the Children’s bedroom belongs
A child’s room is read differently from the master bedroom: it wants movement, growth and morning light rather than weight. The tradition is also more relaxed here, and school-age and adult children are often placed differently.

Do I have to rebuild if a room is in the wrong place?
No. The tradition assumes you cannot move a kitchen or a staircase, which is why almost every placement rule comes with a remedy — usually a change within the room (where the hob sits, which way the bed faces, what is stored in a corner) rather than a change to the building.
