Good Feng Shui Tips for your Bathroom

Keep your bathroom Sparkling Clean:

The first step to incorporating Feng Shui in your bathroom is keeping it neat and tidy. Just having a clean and orderly bathroom is not enough, it has to be ‘sparkling clean’. Having a mess would double or triple the negative energy in there, so make sure it sparkles. Also, a minimalistic look is exactly what you need in your bathroom. Make sure not to have unwanted things, keep only toiletries, cosmetics, and medicines. However, if your bathroom is used by many people, you will have to get organizers and shelves for extra and neat storage.

Save Water:

Feng Shui was created to connect our homes to nature and water. It is an environmentally concerned green design. Saving water in the bathroom creates good energy. When you conserve water, your care and mindfulness for saving this valuable resource lead to other areas of your life improving, like other people around you start to treat you better. You can conserve water by repairing leaks, taking showers instead of baths, and installing devices that help save water.

Make sure the bathroom door is closed:

By keeping the bathroom door open, good qi could flow out. Keep your bathroom door closed so that it minimizes the chances of that happening.

Keep the toilet seat closed:

The toilet washes away waste and water. So, for Feng Shui, you need to pay attention to your bathroom to prevent the loss of resources. This also reduces the humidity and moisture in the bathroom, and you will have less mold and mildew.

Keep Some Plants around:

In a bathroom, water flows away and according to Feng Shui, that is a problem. Keeping plants in your bathroom- living houseplants- is a great way to improve the feng shui in the bathroom. Plants convert the downward energy of water into energy that is vital for life. Watering plants helps them to grow and survive. Adding plants to the bathroom gives it a natural element.

Always have fresh Towels:

When you use towels for a really long time, they start to collect bacteria and odors. Make sure to wash towels regularly and replace them after a while. Old towels can be used in other ways. You can cut them into pieces to use for cleaning. When you do eventually decide you need new bathroom linens, remember that your skin absorbs the energetics of materials put on it, so opting for organic non-toxic, and sustainable products would be a smart choice.

Deep Clean your bathroom on a regular basis:

Take time out at least once a week. In the same way that our body needs to be cleaned so does the bathroom. Buy sustainable and non-toxic products to use to clean.

Keep the toilet out of sight:

Attempt to keep your toilet out of sight. Always keep the bathroom door shut or when decorating the interiors, place the toilet in a way that it can’t be seen from the outside.

Have a mirror on the bathroom door:

Get a mirror to put up on the outside of your bathroom door. Doing this improves the feng shui in the bathroom. The presence of the mirror is said to energetically erase the bathroom and get rid of Feng Shui problems.
