Feng Shui: What to Do When Your Bathroom Is in Your Wealth Area

Bathrooms offer release from stress and opportunities to wash the cares of the day down the drain. If your bathroom is located in the upper left quadrant of your home -- the feng shui wealth and prosperity area -- align your bathroom space with opportunities for wealth and abundance. Arrange the room to promote healthy and vibrant chi -- energy. Your bathroom in the wealth sector can be a source of financial frustrations or of ease and abundance. Feng shui common sense for bathrooms in the wealth area applies to all bathrooms in your home.
  1. Drains and Mirrors

    • A bathroom mirror prevents energy from stagnating in bathrooms.

      Bathroom drains are a source of prosperity troubles. When drains are open, prosperity energy drains away, according the Lucky Feng Shui for Life and Love website. Pull the stoppers closed in your sinks and bathtub. Place a stopper over the shower drain if you have a stand-alone shower. Leave the toilet lid down when not in use.

    Cleanliness

    • Feng shui promotes simplicity and cleanliness as primary ways to encourage positive living spaces. Keep your bathroom clean with few adornments other than those that promote abundance. Uncluttered counters, windowsills and bathtub edges allow wealth and abundance chi to circulate and not stagnate.

    Maintenance

    • Leaking or dripping water causes money to leak away from you. Turn off faucets completely. Repair leaky pipes and other fixtures as soon as possible. Wipe counters and toilets regularly to prevent dust from absorbing energy.

    Decor

    • Allow natural light in if possible for natural chi. The Lucky Feng Shui for Life and Love website recommends placing a plant in your bathroom for its ability to absorb humidity and old chi. Hang lightweight shower curtains and window coverings. Use feng shui colors, such as blue or white, on your bathroom walls. Hang a full-length mirror on your bathroom door to prevent your door from absorbing and wasting chi, says the Spiritual Feng Shui website.
