Practical feng shui tips to create calm and focus in children's rooms

Small space, big energy

Hybrid learning has been both a blessing and a challenge. While students may enjoy a break from the traditional school routine, learning from home often comes with more distractions. And let’s face it—not every household has the luxury of a dedicated study room.

If a separate study room isn’t an option, the bedroom can double as a space for learning and rest—if set up thoughtfully. This is where some simple and practical feng shui tips come in handy. Feng shui, the ancient Chinese art of balancing energy in a space, offers small changes that can make a big difference in how a room feels.

“For beds, we prioritize areas that support health. For desks, we look for areas that promote focus, academic success, and positive mental energy,” geomancer Melvin Sua tells Manila Bulletin Lifestyle, in an exclusive interview.

Of course, not every parent can consult a feng shui expert. That's why Melvin breaks things down into simple and easy-to-follow tips you can try at home.
