For Bathrooms too certain basic principles are advocated by Vastu Shastra.

These are:-

• It is advised that the bathrooms are located adjacent to the south-east corner in the east direction.
• The morning sunrays coming from the east side and falling on the human body after the bath is considered quite useful.
• Adjacent to the bathrooms and near the kitchen a small washing room for washing clothes and utensils can be very convenient.
• The sink or the washbasin and the shower should be placed in the northeast, north or the east side.
• Heater, switchboard, all other electrical appliances should be in the south-east direction.
• In case there are plans for a changing room in the bathroom, it should be in the west or the south direction.
• Tub baths should be either in the east, the west or the north-east directions in the bathrooms.
• The slope of the flooring in the bathrooms should be in the east or the north direction.
• The water outlet should not be in the south-east or the south-west direction.
• The wall mirrors and the door of the bathrooms should be in the east or the north. They should not be in the south direction.
• There should be windows or ventilators in the east or the north. For bathing the east or the north side should be used.
• Clothes to be washed should be kept in the north-west corner.
• The colour of walls and tiles of the bathrooms should be white, light blue, sky blue or light colour. Dark red or black colour should be avoided.
• A toilet within the bathroom is not advisable. In case it is to be built then it should be in the west or the north-west. These should not be constructed in the east or the north- east corner.
