Feng Shui is an age-old Chinese philosophy based on realigning your home's energy with your own. At its core, Feng Shui is the simple practice of arranging the elements in your living spaces to create balance with the natural world.
Capable of transforming the bathroom into a haven of self-care and wellness for both body and mind — Feng Shui is a means to generate positive energy and optimise energy flow in your personal hygienic spaces. From the colours to the positioning of your furniture, discover how to cultivate peace and harmony with Feng Shui in five simple ways.
Location, Location, Location
In Feng Shui, being mindful of where the bathroom sits in the home is vital to cultivating positive energy. The front door is the mouth of chi, which means it is how energy enters your home. The bathroom is often viewed as a “negative space” since it flushes good energy down the drain and was once a place of uncleanliness and possible illness during Ancient times.
To avoid generating negative energy, keeping the bathroom away from the front door and kitchen is crucial. But if you’re not looking for a complete design overhaul, placing a mirror on your bathroom door is another great way to minimise or negate the cultivation of negative energy while making your spaces feel wider.
Keep it Light and Breezy
To create a bathroom that overflows with positive energy, homeowners must first invite natural sunlight and airflow into their personal spaces. Sunlight is an instant mood booster and natural disinfectant, while airflow keeps mould from growing and your bathroom from smelling bad. Whether you invite these elements in through a window or an extractor fan, sunlight and airflow are always an important consideration.
Natural Elements
Getting in touch with nature is a surefire way of cultivating positive energy, but that doesn't mean exposing your bathrooms to the elements. Infusing your designs with wood and metal can bring your designs down to earth, bringing nourishment and centring into your home.
A Splash of Colour
Colours are not only a great way to attract the energy you want to your bathrooms but also a fun way to add a little personality to your designs. From the passionate and fiery reds to the cheery and hopeful colours of yellow, each colour will inspire and invigorate the body in different ways.
We recommend lining your bathroom designs with the purifying tones of white, the rejuvenating ambience of blue, and the nurturing colours of green.
