The family that fitted out this bathroom consulted a Feng Shui practitioner before ordering the plumbing and the fittings. The position of the door in relation to the toilet, and the way in which the door opens has been carefully designed, so that anyone using the toilet has an additional sense of privacy. The same applies to anyone sitting in the bath tub. The relative location of the bath tub and toilet has been worked out so that, although they are in the same room, they are not immediately next to each other. The position of the hand basin takes into account the presense of the mirror: it is not facing the doorway or the window and therefore the tendency for mirrors to bounce energy backward and forward and disturb the environment is minimized.
The use of a roller blind on the bathroom window adjusts the flow of energy in the room and note that the window is not directly opposite the door, nor does it overlook or open behind the basin, toilet, or bath tub.
Unfortunately, whether you are renting or buying a home or are designing a new one, you will find that very little attention is paid to a good layout for the bathroom. It is either thought of as a mere utility room, or else efforts are made to dress it up almost as if to disguise its purpose. In the human body it would be as if the eliminative needs of the body were completely ignored. A recent development has been the incorporation of the bathroom into the bedroom area, as en suite facilities, which are now increasingly being installed in homes.
