Although the decoration of the bathroom does not need to be as expensive and energy-intensive as the living room and bedroom, and it does not need to be too magnificent, it must be designed reasonably. You also need to pay attention to feng shui. Let’s take a look at some common feng shui taboos in bathroom decoration.
1. Avoid no windows
Water is the main element in the bathroom, and a room with a lot of water is more humid, which causes heavy air to be left behind, which tends to stagnate, and if there are no windows, the consequences can be imagined. Assuming there is enough space, bathrooms must be large rather than small to avoid harmful drafts from condensing and stagnating in the room. Some residential bathrooms are fully enclosed, with no windows and only exhaust fans. If the exhaust fans are not turned on frequently, it will be unhealthy in the long run. In the bathroom with windows, you can place green plants or hang pictures, which can ease the atmosphere and gather vitality in terms of Feng Shui.
2. The connectors of lamps and lanterns should not be exposed to the outside
Bathrooms are humid so take extra care when installing lights, wiring. It is best to use lamps and switches with safety protection function, and the connectors and sockets should not be exposed outside. If the switch is a seesaw type, it should be located outside the bathroom door, otherwise, a moisture-proof and waterproof panel should be used to prevent accidents caused by moisture leakage.
3. Avoid too much lighting
For bathroom lighting, incandescent lamps should be selected for overall lighting, and soft brightness is appropriate. However, an independent lighting lamp must be set next to the vanity mirror as a supplement to the local lighting, and fluorescent lamps can be selected for local lighting in front of the mirror to increase the feeling of warmth, spaciousness and freshness. In the choice of bathroom lamps, glass or plastic sealed lamps with reliable waterproof and safety should be the main ones. In terms of the shape of the lighting, it is not advisable to use complicated lighting patterns for embellishment, and it should not be too low to avoid accidents.
4. Avoid using dazzling colors
Colorful bathrooms highlight individuality and style, but because the bathroom is a place where the five elements belong to water, it is best to choose white, metallic colors that belong to gold, and black, blue, and gray that belong to water, which are elegant and can produce a sense of tranquility and peace. . Avoid using dazzling colors such as bright red and deep purple in the bathroom, which will make the toilet users feel depressed and irritable.
5. Avoid clutter
Clutter is a big no-no in bathroom feng shui, as it can stagnate the air. Only the minimum necessities should be placed, and it is not advisable to put too many sundries in the bathroom. Cleaning tools should not be exposed outside, and there should be special storage. The best bathrooms are those that are clean, simple in design and well ventilated. The flow of air and energy will be affected by the materials used. Different floor tiles and floor materials will produce different effects. For example, marble, granite, and other hard and smooth surfaces will accelerate the flow of air energy, especially in the case of crystal clear and bright light, the effect is better. They help create an uplifting, positive atmosphere.
