Feng Shui Bathrooms Zen and Feng Shui friendly bathrooms have lots of natural or filtered light, efficient ventilation and are always sparkly clean and, as with any other room in a Feng Shui enhanced home, the design of the bathroom has to be tied to the elements of water, earth, fire, wood, and metal. To create a balanced, harmonious and prosper environment you need water. Water zones can include the shower and the bathtub, while the earth connection can come from natural-looking elements used over the entire room. These may include faux-slate tub surroundings, or a blooming orchid displayed on the vanity counter. You will find lots of mirrors in a Feng Shui bathroom. They keep chi, the energy symbolizing life, health, wealth and other positive life expectations, moving around the room and all through the house. Clean your dirty fixtures and repair dripping faucets right away, because faulty plumbing is considered a sign of wasting money. Those familiar with this ancient philosophy know that, as there are many ways to lose wealth, there are even more counteractive measures one can undertake to stop losses. Attracting fortune and richness can be accomplished by keeping a bowl of pebbles, a living plant, or fresh flowers on the toilet tank, or on a shelf above it. This will prevent prosperity from being flushed away. Equally important is to always keep the toilet lid down and the door shut. Color schemes for your Feng Shui bathroom will depend on its location. If it is situated in the center of the house paint it red to incorporate the fire element, but if the room is properly located according to Bagua, a chart of areas corresponding to a different aspect of your life, light colors, earth tones and pastels are appropriate. The five elements of Feng Shui have to be present in any bathroom, if you want to succeed in balancing your homes energy flow. For those living on a tied budget, it can be as easy as purchasing a set of colored Feng Shui candles. Add a lucky bamboo and your chances for fortune will definitely increase! |
