Bathrooms are crucial in feng shui design and decor. Traditionally, they’re associated with negative energy, which makes them one of the most challenging rooms for harnessing balance. As such, homeowners generally need to take some extra steps to encourage a more harmonious space. Bathroom remodeling presents the perfect opportunity to improve your household’s feng shui. Here are a few tips for incorporating this ancient Chinese philosophy into your bathroom.

How to Create a Feng Shui Bathroom 

1. Choose the Right Location

If your bathroom remodeling plans allow for a change in location, make sure you select the right place for your bathroom to cultivate positive energy. According to feng shui guidelines, a bathroom shouldn’t be positioned near the kitchen or facing the front door. It’s also preferable that bathrooms aren’t inside a bedroom, but since this is common in modern home layouts, put in a barrier between the two rooms, such as a curtain or screen.

2. Keep It Clean & Uncluttered

A spotless and orderly bathroom is vital for cultivating good feng shui, which thrives on purification. It will be difficult to achieve this if you have a dirty, chaotic space. Make it a habit to clean and declutter on a regular basis. Your bathroom remodeling project should also include plenty of storage solutions, such as cabinets, closets, and shelving, to help you maintain an organized room. 

3. Promote a Relaxed Setting 

When making design decisions, it’s important to create a space that promotes relaxation. This is also a way to bring positive energy into a bathroom. Aromatherapy candles, essential oils, and plants will help inspire a calm environment. Additionally, use more natural lighting and paint the room neutral colors to stimulate more balance and harmony.
