When you first start learning feng shui, your bathroom might seem like a complicated area.
Bathrooms represent draining energy in feng shui, which no one wants when they’re trying to create good energy in their home!
But it’s actually not that hard to create a bathroom that’s full of good feng shui energy!
Here are tons of feng shui bathroom tips to help you!
Before we get started, let’s discuss feng shui and bathrooms in general.
The reason bathrooms seem tricky in feng shui is because of the water, the drains, and the germs.
Water is flowing energy, and because of the drains the water flows right out of your home.
And of course bathrooms tend to accumulate dirt, germs, and grime a lot more quickly than other rooms.
But these things don’t need to be a source of concern because they are easily fixed!
Routine bathroom cleaning alone helps the majority of the “yuck” energy, and the draining water energy can be countered with these feng shui bathroom tips!
The two most important things you can remember when it comes to feng shui for your bathroom:
- Create a spa-like, restful, rejuvenating environment
- Keep it clean
See? Simple!
Feng shui bathroom tips for a spa-like experience:
One: Color!
Good feng shui bathroom colors help counteract the water element and slow the draining energy.
When you think “spa” you probably think of these colors: beiges/neutrals, greens, and browns.
And those are the perfect feng shui colors to use in your bathroom!
These are the earth and wood element colors, which help slow down the water energy in the room.
Two: Frequent deep cleaning.
Part of what makes a spa so relaxing is how clean the environment is.
Spas are free of clutter, dirt, and germs.
Deep clean your bathroom frequently, and don’t forget the corners and ceiling!
Any place that accumulates dirt and grime also accumulates stagnant energy.
So the “good” energy in your bathroom is draining away from the flowing water, but the dirt and grime keeps the dirty, stagnant energy!
So clean and organize your bathroom often.
Get rid of old bottles, soap, hairspray cans, toys, makeup — anything that accumulates under the sink or on counters or in storage.
This goes for old linens too — replace your towels, washcloths, and rugs when they are worn or full of holes.
You are worth the fresh, sparkling energy of a clean bathroom with fresh linens!
This is also a fairly inexpensive way to update and refresh your space, which equals updated and fresh energy!
Three: Add a plant.
Plants are wood and earth energy, which again helps stop the fast flow of the draining water in the bathroom.
If a plant won’t thrive in your bathroom, you can just use a picture of a plant or a landscape that you love.
What is the best feng shui bathroom decor?
The best decor is the decor you love!
You don’t have to add items just because they’re good feng shui — especially if you don’t love them.
However, if you don’t really have a bathroom decor preference and want feng shui friendly decor – think nature.
Natural decor is always a good idea:
- plants and fresh flowers
- jute
- cotton, linen, and other natural fabrics or materials
- ceramic tile
- wicker baskets, and items made of wood
These are great items to balance out the water element and also create a spa-like environment!
You can also add candles, essential oils, and other fragrance items to enhance the air in your space and help you relax.
Are there colors you should avoid if you want a good feng shui bathroom?
Avoid these feng shui colors in the bathroom: Water colors!
Colors associated with the water element are: blues and blacks. .
Since there’s already a lot of water in the bathroom, don’t add more unless you just really love them.
If you do really love blacks and blues and want to use them in the bathroom, just make sure to balance them out with some greens, browns, and whites.
What are the best feng shui plants for your bathroom?
If your bathroom has enough light and space for a plant, the best feng shui bathroom plants are:
- Tall plants, like lucky bamboo
- Plants with rounded leaves
- Succulents (like jade)
- Pothos
- Any plants with lush, green leaves
Plants to avoid in the bathroom:
Cactus or other spiky plants (cactus are generally not great for feng shui anyway because they are “dangerous” but if you love them, they go best in your fame area.
So if your bathroom IS in your fame area, you can keep them there!)
What are the best practices for good bathroom feng shui?
One: Keep the toilet lid closed.
This stops the good Chi (life force energy) from going down the toilet drain.
Two: Keep the bathroom door closed.
If you can’t keep the bathroom door closed or if…
