Hello,

Would really appreciate your advise about the best layout for a bathroom. Attached is a diagram illustrating the bathroom location, direction, and different proposed layouts.

Many thanks in advance,

Samer

PART 1: Common sense and avoiding knee injury and or feeling awkward..

In my opinion, there are two considerations:

1. The first consideration is always: Has common sense to do with any of these layouts?

2. Based on common sense Feng Shui; Let's look at "D":

2.1. Imagine if forgot to lock the door. Someone is quite rough and force their way in when one is seated on the "THRONE". May even cause injury to the knee or calf-muscles. Thus, one should not use this layout plan. (Unless perhaps using a bi-fold door)

2.2. A is just as bad. But luckily there could be a toilet roll module on the wall to at least halt the door fully opened. But if one looks at the photo: the knee caps may also be vulnerable like that of Para 2.1 marking D.  In addition, it makes not sense that a toilet door cannot be fully opened. And if one is not careful, the right leg : when seated on the throne.. may also hit toilet roll.

3. Most people would feel more comfortable with the toilet seat at marking C.

3.1. How many toilets have a WC as shown in marking B? This may still work or be okay. But would you or majority feel comfortable seating on such a throne? If not then; in my opinion, the clear winner should be marking C.

Part 2: Hygiene consideration. Isn't this also based on common sense?

1. Do you know that whenever we do not close the toilet lid; and flush the toilet, the micro-droplets will "spray" out of the toilet bowl.

1.1. Below, the illustration may seem exaggerated.. but look at the "spray" pattern:-

For A and D: If do not close the toilet door, the toilet micro-droplet or spray would flow out of the toilet door!

For B: Imagine, the tooth brush, cosmetics etc.. may be sprayed by the WC "water".

C: In this case is suppose to be the least of the worst of the above.

Does the above evaluation makes sense? Thus, no need to tie this with Feng Shui. Simply try to analyse it via pure common sense, right?

In addition for C: even if one forgot to close the toilet door; one is seated to the side of the toilet.

 

Part 3: Common sense says that is it always best to mount the mirror facing the toilet door. (Mirror at a brighter - lighted area)

1. This is to allow natural light to come-in to the toilet. And thus when we open the toilet door; some light would enter the toilet. As opposed to the mirror inside the toilet. And often must always turn on the lights in order to see one-self. This is not the case of A and D.

2. Isn't it more natural to open the toilet door and one can quickly look at one's facial features. Instead of opening the door and greeted with a THRONE. And having to turn a corner to view one's face.

Part 4: Drawing a parallel with the kitchen refrigerator

Lets talk about a home and even many shopping centres and food courts and even local market cum food centre.

The sink is often located at the outer-most of many of these toilets Where do we find a sink behind the WC?

For a common kitchen, often we also place the refrigerator closest to the entrance of the kitchen. How often does one see the refrigerator close to the service yard side of a kitchen?  The sink is also like the refrigerator. Many homes and public places place them closest to the entrance area of a toilet.

Thank you Master Lee.
