Feng Shui bathroom: rules and photos

Feng Shui is an ancient Chinese teaching based on the endless flows of Qi energy circulating around the world and accompanying people throughout their lives. The basic natural elements that make up the concept are fire, water, wood, metal and earth. Each of them is responsible for a particular area of ​​human life. So, for example, water and, accordingly, a bathroom in Feng Shui is associated with the financial sphere and money. The bathroom is the main source of water, therefore it is considered to be the place with the strongest concentration of energy responsible for financial well-being. In order for this indicator to be at the maximum level, according to the Feng Shui concept, the bathroom should be equipped with objects and accessories of certain sizes, shapes and colors, which should be located in the most favorable places.

However, it should be noted that to compensate for the loss of favorable energy within the apartment, you can use various accessories (mirrors, shelves, etc.).d.) correct shapes and sizes, use combinations or single color solutions for painting walls and much more.

Feng Shui color scheme

The purpose of the bathroom as the main source of water is to assist in relaxation and detoxification of the body. An important role in this process is played by the color design of the room. According to the doctrine, gentle light colors and their pastel shades contribute to maximum relaxation.

abandon the use of black and dark brown;

use bright colors only as secondary colors;

as facing materials for floors and walls, you can purchase light ceramic tiles, but not mirrored;

to improve the style of the bathroom and give it a special atmosphere, you can dilute the walls with bright inserts or decorate with miniature borders;

hang several paintings depicting jets of water or smoothly flowing rivers.

Feng Shui bathroom lighting

According to Feng Shui, in order to activate the flows of positive energy in a room, it is necessary to have abundant light of medium brightness.  Ideally, this should be sunlight, since its rays penetrating through the window help to instantly activate the flow of Chi energy.

An abundance of natural light is appreciated in the Feng Shui bathroom

An obligatory element of the window in the bathroom should be a small curtain made of a material with waterproof properties, since due to constant exposure to steam, ordinary fabric can be damaged or begin to become moldy.

For bathroom windows it is better to use oilcloth curtains

In the absence of a window, you can compensate for the lack of light by using built-in halogen lamps or auxiliary lighting sources (sconces, lamps, etc.).d.).

Rules for arranging furniture in the bathroom according to Feng Shui

Any furniture - cabinets, drawers, cabinets or shelves for storing personal hygiene products - should have a modest appearance that emphasizes the overall style of the room. You should also know that a large accumulation of tubes and bottles with hygiene products helps to attract negative energy.

In the case of a combined bathroom, the toilet should be located away from the entrance so that it is not visible, as this will be more correct from the point of view of Feng Shui. You can use a partition with a moisture-repellent coating or a screen.

The most preferable from the point of view of shape are objects made in the form of a circle, semicircle or oval, and regardless of the scope of the accessory.

When choosing a mirror for the bathroom, you should focus on the signs of the zodiac, since the correct shape of the object will depend on this.
