Bathroom under the stairs
Many families take advantage of the space under the stairs as a storage place, even arranging bathrooms. However, this is often a cramped area, lacking light and ventilation, easily creating a feeling of stuffiness and inconvenience when using. In addition, people constantly walking on the stairs can also affect the privacy of users.
Bathroom directly connected to the kitchen
Many houses have bathroom doors designed to open directly to the kitchen area. This arrangement not only causes inconvenience in living but also affects hygiene and aesthetics of the living space. According to feng shui beliefs, this is also not a highly appreciated arrangement.
Open-design bathroom
The trend of open space is increasingly popular, but applying it to bathrooms is not an ideal choice. Using only glass walls or curtains to separate can make users feel insecure, and also make moisture and odors easily spread to other areas in the house.
The bathroom is above the living room
In some multi-story houses or off-level designs, the bathroom can be arranged right above the living room. According to feng shui beliefs, this is a location that should be restricted because water from the toilet area is considered inappropriate when located in the common living space. In reality, this location also poses a risk of leaks, affecting the living room below if the waterproofing system is not guaranteed.
