Bathrooms should face north, the direction of water, according to Feng Shui. North is also the direction of malevolent spirits and hence, bathrooms are considered to be prone to accidents and mishaps. Keeping this in mind, blue and black, the colors denoting water are ideal for bathrooms, shower rooms, vanities and toilets. They should also be thoroughly protected and extra measures to make them safe for children and the elderly are desired. Bathrooms should be devoid of any sharp objects and non-skid surfaces are preferable. The flow of Chi in the bathroom is necessary and thus, open windows to allow free flow of air, mirrors and Feng Shui crystals should be used.
