Every room of the house, including the children's room, the home office, the meditation room, and the kitchen, has unique Vastu Shastra prescriptions. Not only does vastu govern the proper placement of furniture at home, but it also affects the direction of rooms. In terms of orientation and position, there are also vastu recommendations and rules for the bathroom and toilet. Because they are rarely treated with the same care as one's bedroom or living room, toilets and bathrooms can become a source of bad energy in a household. Putting in the effort to construct a bathroom according to vastu rules, on the other hand, will pay off and may even turn it into your new retreat. The ancient texts of Vastu Shastra clearly specify sticking to the standards of perfect cleanliness to be maintained in each part of the home, notably the spot where you wash and clean yourself everyday, according to vastu expert Ashna Ddhannak, creator and owner of Enlightening Lifestyle.
Here are some of the best vastu tips for bathroom and toilet-
According to vastu, the optimum orientation for building a bathroom is in the north-west area of the house since it promotes waste elimination.
The first step should be to instal a high-quality wooden bathroom door. A metal door encourages negativity and may be harmful to your health.
Close the bathroom door at all times to prevent negative energy from entering your home and causing problems in your career and personal relationships.
Decorative statues or religious idols should not be displayed on the bathroom door.
According to vastu, the toilet should not share a wall with the bedroom, puja room, or kitchen, among other rooms, as this may cause a negative energy in the home. You can have nightmares if your bed is on the same wall as the toilet.
According to vastu, the sink and shower should be located in the bathroom's east, north, and north-east corners.
In the bathroom and toilet, the proper vastu direction for water and drainage is north, east, or north-east. So that water drains in the same direction, the bathroom floor should slope in the same way.
When it comes to placing the toilet seat in the bathroom, extra care must be used. It should be positioned in the west or north-west to aid in the removal of waste and poisons from the body.
To bring fresh air and sunlight into the bathroom, the exhaust fan or bathroom window must face east or north-east. The importance of ventilation in the bathroom is that it reduces microorganisms.
Brown, beige, cream, and other earthy tints are the ideal colours for the toilet interior, according to vastu. Black and dark blue should be avoided.
The commode should never be set in such a way that the person using it is facing East or West. As a result, the commode should be located on the southeast or northwest side of the room, facing north or south.
