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.
A plan where bathroom isn't located directly across from any entry doors would be most preferable. The entry to the home is where career and opportunities enter. If the bathroom is located directly in front of the entry, they could flow out immediately.
Display bamboo and have it reflect in the mirror. Bamboo thrives in any location and plants that grow upward represent money. As well, the reflection doubles the amount of the bamboo.
Good color schemes for a properly located bathroom are light grays, cream colors, and pale blues. If your bathroom is located in the center of the house, paint it red. The fire element will increase income and therefore counteract the drain of wealth.
No family pictures should be placed in the bathroom.
A bathroom is the room for wealth and a dirty and cluttered bathroom can make you poor. Bathrooms that are clean well organized and in good shape, encourage the free flow of energy leading to prosperity in the household.
Place a mirror in the bathroom in such a way that the person in the shower can see the bathroom door clearly.
Pipes of the bathroom should be maintained in good working order and clean them occasionally to prevent clogging.
Don't allow dripping faucets or dirty fixtures to be a part of your bathroom. A dripping faucet is a sign of wasting money.
Sinks and bathtub drains should be kept covered to stop your money from going down the drain.
A screen between the toilet area and shower area is desirable.
Avoid clutter and never ever bring things from the kitchen into the bathroom. One needs to remove waste, dead and stagnant energy that gets blocked ere and cleaning with natural cleaners can help you to keep Chi fresh in this area of your home.
Another way to counteract opportunity and prosperity from being flushed away is to keep a bowl of pebbles or fresh flower arrangement on the toilet tank or on a shelf above the toilet. By adding this element of Earth, you will help control the water.
A black or red rug at the base of the toilet will also provide protection against wealth loss.
If you choose a home with a second floor, the bathroom shouldn't be located over the main entrance.

Feng Shui Bedroom
The head of the bed should be placed against a solid wall for support. Do not place it against a window as you will not only lack support but your health may be affected by the cold draft from the outside!
Watch out for overhead beams cutting across your bed (lengthwise or otherwise!). Over the long term these beams can cause health problems.
The ceiling should also be level. Sloping ceilings can create emotion related problems.
Also ensure that lighting fixtures, fans and air-conditioners are not installed over your head or any parts of the bed.
Ideally, the bedroom should be as far away as possible from the front door, mirroring the practice of our prehistoric ancestors who did not sleep in the mount of their cave.
On entering your bedroom, note where the windows are located. Chi tends to travel between the door and any windows, so avoid positioning your bed in line with this flow of Chi.
Position your bed so that you can see the door from where you sleep. This gives you a deep sense of inner security.
If it is feasible, position your bed as far away from the door as possible.
Avoid sleeping with your head close to a window as your Chi will dissipate through the window and make you feel more tired on awakening.
If you have a bathroom, toilet or shower leading off you bedroom, make sure that the toilet door is always shut while you are asleep.
Make sure all bedside tables have rounded edges and not square to prevent cutting Chi being focused towards the occupants. If two sleep in the bed, ensure matching beside tables on either side for added stability and protection in the relationship.
If you sleep with another, make sure your bed is symbolic of this relationship. Beds that are rickety or likely to fall part speak volumes about the state of the relationship.
Given that the bedroom is a more yin environment, the lighting that you choose needs to reflect this. Soft lighting is ideal. Avoid having ceiling lamps right directly over your bed.
Pastel colors are ideal for the bedroom.
Avoid sleeping with your image visible in a mirror. The worst scenario if all is a mirror at the foot of your bed.
Place something beautiful that inspires you where you first look in the morning.
Pay attention to what is under your bed. Keep the space clear and get rid of any unwanted items there.
The toilet door should not open to the bed. Ideally the toilet door should be located at the side. If the room is big enough you can place a free standing screen to block the toilet (door) from the bed.
The toilet door should ideally be closed all the time. Installing an automatic door closer will help greatly.
The bed should not share a common door with the toilet/bath. The walls are porous and over a long period the water from the bath can seep through the walls. If your bed is located at the other side of the wall, the excess moisture can affect your health.
A desk is not meant to be in a bedroom, neither is anything else related to work. Electronics such as televisions, stereos and computers are also inappropriate for this particular room, because they will distract you from getting the sleep you need.
Move the exercise equipment out, as they too tend to promote restlessness.
Keep all sorts of doors closed during night. It might be your bedroom door, the door of your closet, your bathroom door etc. This will ensure the optimum flow of nourishing and healing energy and will improve your health and strengthen your relationship.
A good looking and balanced bed is the most important thing in a bedroom. For producing harmonious Feng Shui energy, you need to have good mattress, solid headboard and high quality sheets from natural fibers.

5 Element Pagoda
The 5 Element Pagoda is an excellent cure for the deadly five yellow star (wu wang) which brings accidents, financial loss and severe problems. It is also perfect for suppressing the #2 black star, also known as the ‘Sickness Star’ which brings illnesses and ailments to occupants. Placing the 5 Element Pagoda in the afflicted sector not only exhausts the these malignant stars but activates the lucky 1, 6 and 8 flying stars as well.
This item can be unscrewed and earth or crystal pieces can be placed inside for good luck. Fill the 5 Element Pagoda up with earth taken from your garden or potted plants if you do not have a garden. This symbolizes "locking up" the Five Yellow (五黄) and hence suppresses its malignant chi.
