The location of the bathroom is a hot topic in Feng Shui, and if you find your bathroom in your relationship corner the following ideas are ways that you can help keep the Chi fresh and healthy. To locate the relationship area of your home via the Bagua map, look here. 

 

* Bathrooms have a very strong downward pull (due to the drains.) The classic Feng Shui way to deal with this is to keep the toilet seat down and to cover the drains! This is a simple yet powerful way to help the energy in the room.
* Bring in plants, pictures of plants, or place fresh flowers on the toilet tank. These all have an upward feeling that help to pull energy up.
* If you are getting a new shower curtain, pick one that has plant like designs. This also has upward movement.
* Look for any broken items – broken toilets, dripping drains, chipped tiles, or anything that is not working fully. Replace these right away! Anything that is not in full working order calls in partners that are not in full working order.
* If possible, make the environment feel as spa-like as possible. Create a space that feel stress-free by using colors you enjoy, delicious soaps, and bring in bamboo accents such as wastebaskets and shelves.
* Have good, flattering lighting. The relationship area of the house starts with our relationship to ourselves. If you find your own reflection unflattering, it will be harder to attract someone from a positive space.
* Decorate using pairs of objects. You can have two candle, matching hand towels, two toothbrush holders, or two of anything. The idea is to bring your items into relationship with each other.
* Good colors for a bathroom in the relationship area are purples, blues, green and dashes of reds for romance. Stay away from using white and dark colors.

Overall, the bathroom has to go somewhere in everyone’s house. We are all dealing with it, so dont worry too much about it. Just make sure it is a place that you really enjoy, keep it nice and clean, and enhance it using the ideas above that resonate with you.
