Hi,
The apartment that I'm interested has a bathroom with the mirror in direct line with the front door. The bathroom is also between the master bedroom (with bath) and a guest bedroom. Can you tell me if this is bad feng shui. If so, is there a remedy for it? Below is the link to the floorplan:

Thanks,

These are some considerations:
1. Please refer to attachment.
2. If based on the Original or existing layout plan; then close the toilet door when not in use.
3. You can refer to Options A orB as possible viable alternatives. (Subject to structural engineering approval or your country's building approval on such alternation(s) )

Thank you for your quick reply. It was very helpful. I can't change the door placement in the apartment but I can shut the door when not using it if I choose this floorplan.
1. Can you tell me what it means from a feng shui apartment to have this type of floor plan, ie why we should close thebathroom door and what would happen if you don't.I'm concerned, but I don't want to be paranoid.
2. Also, I read that having a bathroom in the middle of the house is very bad. Would the bathroom in this floor plan be considered in the middle of the floor plan?
Thanks for your advise.
TT

Reply: There are two considerations:

 

1.1. Commonsense Feng Shui and "First Impressions Count."

1.1.1 Here, just imagine when we step into the home; visually if the toilet door is not closed; then our "first impression" is to see thewash basin + themirror.

1.1.2 It is like the notion of asking someone not to place the dining table so close to the main entrance door. Again this is cow-sense. Some of us literally litter our dining table with lots of "rubbish" on it. And someone stepping into our home immediately gets to see this pile of "rubbish". Again it is more of the "first impressions count".

1.2. The will claim that a mirror facing the main door is no good. Again; there is this commonsense or cow-sense involved. Some of us come into a home and suddenly get to glimpse a shadow of a person in the mirror.

1.2. These are some of the "paranoid" I mentioned. Otherwise, what is there to be concerned about.
 

2. You said:"Also, I read that having a bathroom in the middle of the house is very bad. Would the bathroom in this floor plan be considered in the middle of the floor plan"

 

Reply:

3. I can safely say based on eye-ball method: "This layout's toilet is at the center-point of the home".

3.1. Since you can't change to Option A and B; then no issue; just close the toilet door when not in use. For those who want to make a few cents; can always place a table and a small coin box that says " 10 cents to enter toilet".. how's that!
