Where should be the bathroom: a good location for feng shui
In eastern countries, where feng shui education is paid close attention, houses and apartments are initially designed taking into account the location of certain elements. The bathroom, ideally, should be in the northern part of the building, because it is at this point that the energy of the water activates the positive energy of qi. Unfortunately, making repairs in our conditions, it is difficult to radically change the location of the bathroom, because for this you will have to completely change the communication. However, even if your bathroom is not in the northern part of the dwelling, you can activate the energy of this room, slightly changing the location of the door or by hanging a mirror on it.
To ensure that the favorable energy of the water does not flow out, the bathroom door should not be located opposite the front door. If the first thing you see when entering the apartment is the bathroom, and it's impossible to change its location, just hang a rectangular mirror on the door of the room.

Feng Shui bathroom must necessarily be separated from the toilet by a wall or partition. However, do not be upset if you live in an apartment with a combined bathroom. It is enough just to divide these zones with the help of suitable decorative screens, curtains, partitions or lockers. But try to equip the bathroom so that, entering it, the toilet remained outside your field of vision.

The bath itself should be in the south-western part of the room. If the bath is located in another part of the room and can not be moved because of technical reasons, try to decorate the south-western sector with details that represent water. For example, here you can install a decorative fountain or hang a sticker with a picture of a waterfall or a river.

Favorable colors in the bathroom by Feng Shui
The element of water is a symbol of peace, peace and prosperity. This element does not tolerate haste and activity, therefore it should be personified by soft pastel and cold shades. The most favorable color for the design of the bathroom is a white shade that does not interfere with the energy of the water circulating in the right channel.
Also good color of the bathroom on feng shui are all pastel shades - gray, beige, cream, peach, etc. But bright and dark colors are recommended to use in the bathroom interior only in a small amount. In this case, if you have chosen several shades for the design of the bathroom, combine them so that the bright and dark colors are in the lower part of the room. For example, if the color of the tile coincides with the rules of feng shui, but you want to decorate the walls with some bright decorative inclusions, do it below, and decorate the top of the walls and the ceiling in pastel colors.

Favorable interior
As the energy of water directly affects all other elements that are in the house, the interior of the bathroom should be harmoniously combined with the overall design of the apartment. In feng shui there are no strict recommendations regarding the style of the premises. It does not matter what interior you prefer - classic or ultramodern, it's important how well and professionally your bathroom is framed. Very good, if the finishing of the bathroom uses natural materials - wood, metal, stone, marble, etc.

Ideally, the bathroom on Feng Shui should be free and spacious. In this room there should not be any unnecessary detail, so, first, do not litter the bathroom with extra things, and secondly, use multi-functional and roomy furniture.

What to do with laundry baskets
Almost all the housewives give out in the bathroom a separate corner for storing a basket for dirty laundry. However, from the point of view of feng shui, this is not entirely correct, since the accumulation of superfluous things can provoke a stagnation of favorable energy. Therefore, it is advisable to transfer this basket to another room, or to store laundry that requires washing in a separate chest of drawers.
Mirror in the bathroom according to the rules of Feng Shui
Perhaps in every bathroom there is a mirror. On the feng shui mirror in the bathroom should be hung in front of the door. This location will help increase the favorable energy and direct it throughout the house. Also, to activate the favorable energy, you can hang two mirrors opposite each other. However, according to the rules of feng shui, the mirror in the bathroom must necessarily be solid and smooth. Such decorative elements as a mirror tile or various glossy ledges and openings create the effect of a "broken" mirror image, which introduces disharmony in the energy of this room.

Some important recommendations
- If space allows and there is such an option, choose a bath that is not rectangular, but round. The circle on Feng Shui embodies a coin, and since the element of water that reigns in the bathroom affects material well-being, this symbol will help increase the prosperity of home owners.
- Always watch for sanitary equipment in the bathroom. If the pipes flow, and water constantly drips from the faucets, this weakens the energy of the room and, moreover, does not have the best effect on the well-being of the tenants.
- Choose soft, but bright lighting for the bathroom. Instead of a central lamp, it is better to give preference to several built-in lights that can evenly illuminate all areas of the room.
