Creating a positive atmosphere is equally essential as making your bathroom beautiful. The philosophy of Feng Shui can make your home conductive to the flow of positive energy, which is called ‘chi’. Feng Shui, literally translated as wind and water, has been practiced for over 3,000 years in China. When you think of water, bathroom is certainly the first room that comes to your mind since it is primarily governed and driven by this element. Water is also associated with wealth, prosperity, career and good cash flow.

Feng Shui aims to achieve balance and harmony in any environment. Bathroom is a common knowledge an essential part of the house, which needs to be considered to achieve total tranquility of one’s environment. The following bathroom tips are beneficial to anyone who wishes to attain perfect harmony and invite positive energy into one’s home.

House’ entrance, which is usually the front door, is where career and opportunities come in. If your bathroom is located directly in front of the entry, opportunities could also flow out immediately. You can prevent this loss of opportunity by always closing the bathroom door and the water closet’s seat and cover to prevent the escape of Chi.

Good lighting and ventilation is essential as well. Mirrors may be used to reciprocate positive energy and keep it moving around the bathroom. Light and pastel colors are most desirable for proper Feng Shui. Lighten up any dark walls or corners to bring out quietness in the environment. For properly located bathroom use light gray, cream color and pale blues. Bathroom located in the center of the house is advisable to be painted red.

The center of the house is the prosperity spot; if your bathroom is located in this area, place a full-length mirror in the bathroom. The mirror will deflect chi and also create an illusion of bathroom not being there.

Do not allow dripping faucets or dirty fixtures since it is a sign of wasting money. Another way to prevent prosperity from being flushed away is to keep bowl of pebbles or fresh flower arrangements on the water closet’s tank or shelf. Adding element of Earth will help control the force of water. A black or red rug at the base of the water closet will also provide additional protection against any wealth loss.

In any bathroom, energy and beauty must coincide to create total balance. HCG, the leading brand of bathroom fixtures, offers a wide array of products that can help you create an ideal bathroom that promotes positive vitality in your life.
