feng shui bathroom colors

The main aim when choosing Feng Shui bathroom colors is to keep the colorful atmosphere of the room bright and fresh. Feng Shui beliefs say that due to the often moist air in a bathroom the flow of chi energies tend to stagnate.

In order to counteract the tendency of the of flow of air and energy to stagnate

• Try to position your bathroom where it gets best natural light or if this is limited use bright but appropriate artificial lights.
• Good ventilation will dispel humidity and keep the flow of fresh air and the energies flowing.
• Keep blinds or curtains open whenever possible.
• Keep clutter out and furniture to a minimum.
• Incorporate shiny surfaces and mirrors where appropriate to allow a greater flow of energy.

Feng Shui Bathroom Colors

Plain painted walls are more yang which means more relaxing but need balancing with the more active yin.

To balance the bathroom decor’s plain colored wall use more exciting colors in the accessories.

For example:-

• If your bathroom faces East or south-east, the most favoured bathroom position,the suggested wall colors are cream and off white with green and dark blues suggested for the accessories or accents colors, used for towels, mats or blinds.
• If your bathroom faces North, north-west or north-east, which is believed to be an unfavourable position, then and if possible, have a skylight built to bring in the morning sun.
  
• Arrange for some shiny surfaces, round metal shapes and green or white plants or red flowers.
  
• These extra features may promote active energies and allow the chi to circulate.

Best Bathroom Colors and Patterns

Irregular patterns are thought to support water energies and could enhance the general decor.
You could use free hand painting or stencils. An exciting and possibly challenging idea!

Remember to always keep the bathroom and toilet areas very clean and make a habit of keeping the toilet seat shut for the flushing sequence and at all times when not in use. This will keep the bacteria at bay and also minimize loss of chi energy.
