We are having a loft conversion done, 2 bedrooms for DC, it's nearly ready.
We have said that bigger room will be DC1's room, as they are older, and DC2 will have the other. (it's not much bigger, btw, same width, but a bit under a metre longer).
DC have chosen paint colours and curtains for new rooms - pale turquoise for DC1 and yellow for DC2, but we haven't actually bought them yet.
A relative spent some time this afternoon telling me that they were the wrong choice of colours because DC1 new room will point North, and DC2's South.
I nodded and smiled and decided to ignore her, but have since looked it up and seen that this is actually recognised advice and not just my relative being overbearing.
Does it actually make any difference, really?
Relative thinks I should (a)suggest the DC swap - since they haven't actually taken up residence in the rooms yet. (They might actually not mind, but it seems an excessive step.)
Or (b) suggest they choose different colours - again seems excessive, and excessively dictatorial, I feel these are their bedrooms, not mine.
I am still most likely to choose (c) Let them paint their rooms a colour of their choosing.
But I wondered what the consensus was.

Should I really pay attention to compass points when redecorating?
