Great Bathroom Ideas

Water is one of the most significant aspects of Feng Shui as it’s vital in our lives and it’s also a source of flow of energy. It shows us how to use and harness this energy in an effective manner. It does not simply have to be applied to the bathroom though. Whether we are at household, in our offices, market place, we have the potential to boost our well being to ensure the success in areas such as our relationships, career and school.

When we apply this philosophy to the design of our bathroom, we are essentially trying to establish how the design and placement of the room will be of benefit to our health and prosperity.

There are are many tools designers use, but one of the most popular is the Bagua color chart. Many people are surprised to learn that Feng Shui has its origins related to religion. Its use, even with minor changes will produce a neat and attractive room that will provide a lot of pleasure to spend time in.

If you study the principles and philosophy behind Feng Shui then you will come to realize that the location of the bathroom within the home is vital in terms of dictating the flow of wealth and prosperity. If you construct your bathroom, for example, on the second floor in locations such as over the main door, above the kitchen door you will hold back the flow of cash.

Another location that may destabilize the flow of energy within the whole of the house is if it is positioned in the centre. However, unless you are performing a brand new build or undertaking a complete renovation the location of your bathroom will most likely be fixed.

The processing and elimination of waste is one of the important functions of the bathroom. Therefore, any blockage to the outflow, according to Feng Shui, could cause a blockage to your financial flow which could impede your financial position.

Although it can difficult for some people to give these ideas much credibility, some scientific studies have shown that there may be real benefits to it. My advice, even to the cynics is to give it a go and see for yourself what sort of benefits it can possess.

You might find yourself needing to design a bathroom for your new house. Maybe you’re renovating and adding a new bathroom or changing an existing bathroom. In any case, you have a clear amount of room to use. Use these thoughts as you proceed.

The first step is to make a list of all the essential items required which should include the toilet and sink. You will also need to include either a bathtub or a shower stall if you are working on a full bathroom.

Once you have covered the essential items you can think about all the optional extras. Often people use a sink cabinet to supply storage, but if your room is small or you prefer a more contemporary look, pick a pedestal sink. Think about a mirror over the sink, with our without a medicine chest. A fan can be helpful for keeping damp out and you will possibly want a space for shelves of some kind.

Measure your bathroom accurately and pick things that you think you would like in your bathroom and get the measurements. Some suggest sketching a plan to scale, but for those of us who are less visual, it can be helpful to cut paper to the actual size of the area of the item. Place these items in the bathroom, arranging them to where you think you would like them, but don’t forget that you need room between things.

Once you have each piece in place, you have a few other factors to think about. You might be limited by plumbing or electricity. Window position is a significant fator to consider unless you have no misgivings about showering in front of a window.

If things do not fit into place well then play around with the plan a bit and see if you can come up with more efficient use of space and still get pleasure from the design. If there’s simply no room, you’ll have to make a decision on what you can do without. For example, you can try using a pedestal sink, which takes less space than a full sink and cabinet. Or, if you wanted both shelves and a cabinet, use only one of them. Items such as towels and toilet paper can easily be put away in the cabinet, with the extra supplies in a suitable storage area somewhere else in your home.

With a bit of ingenuity and accurate measurements, you will have a great bathroom. Once your design is finished, it is time to actually make it happen. It’s a lot of work, but it can be worth it in the end.
