Create Feng Shui for the Bathroom

More than a functional space, with Feng Shui principles, your bathroom can be a sanctuary of escape and rejuvenation. Feng Shui balances energy with color, light and reflection to create a bathroom space that promotes good health and good fortune. Your bathroom should mainly reflect yin qualities of peace and seclusion.

Step1-- Introduce soft, forest-green towels, soaps, shower curtains and decorative accessories. Most bathrooms are painted white or other light shades. Balance this inherent extreme of light with greens in shades of the woods.

Step2-- Keep the lid down to lock in energy. According to Feng Shui principles, an open toilet invites wealth and and luck to be flushed away. If your bathroom is in the southeast quadrant of your home, the sector of luck and prosperity, take care. Always keep the door and the toilet lid closed when not in use.

Step3 --Place odd numbers of green plants in your bathroom. Odd numbers are lucky in Feng Shui. A peace lily gently ionizes any space it occupies. Three of these plants are fortunate additions. If your bathroom is dark or damp, hang ferns, which thrive in darker, humid environments.

Step4 --Reflect negative energy. If you have a bathroom near the entrance of your home or within view of the kitchen, always keep the door closed. Situate a mirror near the entryway or kitchen to reflect away negative influences. A bathroom near an entrance to your home indicates lost opportunities. Bathrooms close to kitchens can be associated with health issues.

Step5-- Fix faucet drips. Dripping water will flow away the "shui" (which is also slang for "money") in Feng Shui. Leaky faucets trickle your energy and money down the drain.
