Written by Stephanie Roberts


The bathroom has a bad reputation in feng shui, and in some ways this is deserved, as you will discover. But it's not all negative. Comfort, cleanliness, and convenience are key ingredients to good feng shui, and our modern bathrooms provide them all.

One ofrepparttar challenges posed byrepparttar 111098 modern bathroom is that there's no good place for it inrepparttar 111099 ba gua* [the feng shui map of a space], which long predates indoor plumbing. We can look atrepparttar 111100 ba gua and see at a glance thatrepparttar 111101 Family area would be a good place forrepparttar 111102 living room, that a home office is well-placed inrepparttar 111103 Knowledge, Wealth, or Career sectors, and thatrepparttar 111104 Marriage corner ofrepparttar 111105 house is a great place forrepparttar 111106 master bedroom. But where doesrepparttar 111107 bathroom go?

The bathroom is a little out of place anywhere, although some locations are more troublesome than others. The thing to keep in mind is that bathroom plumbing has a draining effect wherever it is located.

Some very difficult bathroom locations are next to or aboverepparttar 111108 front door and onrepparttar 111109 second floor directly aboverepparttar 111110 kitchen. These locations are particularly difficult because:

- A bathroom inrepparttar 111111 front hall, close torepparttar 111112 door, can drain chi away before it has a chance to circulate throughrepparttar 111113 rest ofrepparttar 111114 house.

- A second-floor bathroom aboverepparttar 111115 front door floodsrepparttar 111116 main entry to your home with negative energy.

- The water energy in a bathroom aboverepparttar 111117 kitchen will extinguishrepparttar 111118 hearth's fire energy, and floodrepparttar 111119 entire kitchen with negative energy. This is potentially damaging to both health and prosperity.

The worst location for a bathroom is inrepparttar 111120 center of your home, where it will destabilizerepparttar 111121 energy ofrepparttar 111122 entire home. If you suspect thatrepparttar 111123 bathrooms in your house are affecting important spaces, there's no need to panic. Use these simple feng shui remedies to help keep your health, wealth, and happiness from flowing downrepparttar 111124 drain:

- Problem: bathroom inrepparttar 111128 center ofrepparttar 111129 home Solutions: paintrepparttar 111130 walls red, and place a stone, large crystal, or other earth-type object (such as a heavy ceramic bowl, vase, or statuette) in each corner to help stabilizerepparttar 111131 energy; a mirror onrepparttar 111132 outside ofrepparttar 111133 door is highly recommended for this bathroom location.
