How to Feng Shui Your Bathroom

The bathroom is often overlooked when it comes to feng shui, but it’s an important space in the home that can greatly impact your energy and well-being.

Historically, homes didn’t have indoor bathrooms because there was no indoor plumbing. Try as I might with my home builder clients, there’s no avoiding indoor bathrooms now. If we don’t feng shui them appropriately, positive energy called chi could be drained, causing problems with your health, finances, career, etc.

Here are some tips to feng shui your bathroom:

1. Choose the right colors. Select a color scheme appropriate to the section of the Bagua where your bathroom is located. There’s no need to paint the whole bathroom – simply accenting the area with décor should be fine.
2. Use natural elements & shapes. Incorporate elements and shapes appropriate to the Gua where your bathroom is located.
3. Use soft lighting. Bright lighting can be stressful, so it’s best to use soft, indirect lighting in the bathroom whenever possible to create a soothing space. You can use dimmable lighting and vanity mirrors with focused lighting when necessary.
4. Keep the bathroom clean and clutter-free. Clutter can create a sense of chaos. It disrupts the flow of energy, so it’s important to keep the bathroom clean and organized.
5. Choose comfortable and relaxing materials. The materials you use in your bathroom can have a big impact on the energy of the space. Plush towels and rugs can create a sense of relaxation and comfort. Avoid hard, cold materials such as marble or concrete that can feel uninviting.
6. Add the element of fun. Be creative and have fun when decorating your bathroom space. All of the energy coming into your bathroom is designed to go down the drain. Counteract that by creating an uplifting environment.
7. Redden the drains. Wrap red duct tape or string around drains in the bathroom or even paint them red if they’re hidden by a cabinet. Doing so slows down chi energy that is escaping your home through the drains.
8. Use bagua mirrors. Further slow escaping chi by reflecting it back up your drains with a flat bagua mirror placed underneath each drain.

Follow these tips and use the principles of feng shui in your bathroom design to improve your energy flow and stop the loss of uplifting energy in your home.
