Let's check what should and shouldn't be done with the bathroom
When it comes to beliefs in this modern era, whether it's about homes, bathrooms, or anything else, there are usually two types of beliefs: traditional beliefs and scientifically proven reasons. It's up to you which side to believe in, and here are things you should avoid doing with your bathroom.
Do not build a bathroom in the middle of the house
According to mysterious beliefs in feng shui, if you place a bathroom in the center of the house, the family members will continuously suffer from illnesses, taking turns being sick every other day.
However, from a scientific perspective, not only does this violate feng shui principles, but it also increases humidity in the house, making it a breeding ground for germs, which negatively affects the health of the household.
Do not build a bathroom at the front of the house
According to feng shui, having a bathroom at the front of the house is considered truly inauspicious.
However, scientifically, it is not clearly stated why this is prohibited. It may be because having a toilet at the front can lead to unpleasant odors, dampness, and germs being blown into the house.
Do not build a bathroom next to the kitchen
This point strictly follows feng shui principles, which state that water and fire should not be close together, as it can affect the health of the residents and may lead to illnesses.
Therefore, you should ensure that the bathroom and kitchen share different walls.
The bathroom floor should not be higher than the bedroom
According to feng shui, if you build a bathroom higher than the bedroom, it can lead to a loss of fortune. From a scientific standpoint, if the bathroom is elevated, water can overflow and flood the bedroom floor, causing damage to the house.

Bathroom door restrictions
This point also strictly adheres to feng shui principles: the bathroom door should not face the front door of the house. This is a significant restriction; otherwise, fortune will disappear, and misfortune will enter instead. Uh... that sounds a bit scary!
Do not build a bathroom under the stairs
According to feng shui, having a bathroom under the stairs can lead to difficulties in having children, or if you do have children, they may be very mischievous.
Therefore, it is advisable to demolish it. However, if you don't have the budget to tear down the bathroom, consider putting up a screen at the bathroom door to make it seem like there is no bathroom there.
Do not build a bathroom above the kitchen
If this violates feng shui principles, the people in the house may suffer from severe illnesses, even to the point of being bedridden, because fire will directly impact water, which definitely affects health. Yikes, that's pretty intense!
Do not leave the bathroom door open
This is important because it concerns money matters. If anyone has never closed the bathroom door, we recommend that you keep it closed at all times; otherwise, your fortune will disappear.
