Vastu tips for redesigning your bathroom

Many people put a lot of effort while designing or renovating their living rooms. This is because the hall and drawing room are what your guests see and make it presentable. However, homeowners forget to give their bathroom or toilets a makeover and these become the most neglected areas in your house. 

It is not advised to leave your bathroom out while you are giving your home a much-needed makeover. According to Vastu shastra, the bathroom/ toilet space emits energies and if ignored, these can turn into negative energies.

Bathroom direction as per Vastu shastra

The toilet or bathroom space should be in the northwest or north direction. Avoid building the bath area in the south, south-east, or south-west direction as this can harm your health. The toilet should be one or two feet higher than your bathroom area.

Keep in mind the following Vastu tips before reconstructing your bathroom/ toilet

1. North or northwest direction is the best space to construct your bathroom as this area supports the elimination of waste.
2. Avoid using a metal door for your bathroom as it fosters negativity and can affect your health. Instead, use a wooden door.
3. The bathroom door should always be kept shut as this avoids the negative energy from entering your home and affecting your personal relationships and career.
4. Do not put up religious idols or decorative statues on your bathroom door.
5. If the bathroom or toilet shares a wall with the puja room, bedroom, or kitchen, it could create a negative vibe in the whole house
6. According to Vastu shastra, the shower and washbasin area must be in the northeast, north, or east part of the bathroom.
7. As per Vastu shastra, the outlet of water and drainage in the toilet and bathroom should be north-east, east, or north. 
8. The toilet seat should be placed in the northwest or west direction of the bathroom as it helps in eliminating waste and toxins from your body.
9. To allow fresh air and sunlight, the exhaust fan must face the east or northeast direction of the bathroom. Remember that ventilation is extremely important.
10. Earthy shades like brown, beige, and cream are the best colors for your toilet. Vastu shastra tells us to avoid black and dark blue.
11. Remember that designing a bathroom should also be included in your renovation plan. Leaving your bathroom/ toilet unattended can cause the invasion of negative energies.

Renovating a bathroom according to Vastu shastra will help you in the long run.
