Vastu plays a significant role in designing a toilet. The toilet should always be kept clean. The best location for a toilet is the north-western side of the house. The north-eastern side is forbidden for a toilet. Ideas for luxury vary from person to person, as people like to add different features to the bathroom. There are endless possibilities, such as separate wash basins for men and women, a Jacuzzi, options for heating both the air and water, a steam bath, and so on. The bathroom is often tucked into a private corner of the home next to a glass wall that brings the outdoors inside.
Normally, the floor of the toilet is higher than the other floors, and the toilet door must open toward the south or east. You must not build a toilet on the north-eastern, south-western, or northern side of the building. A person should face south or west while sitting in the toilet.
No worship room is permitted directly above or below the toilet in the house. The floor of the toilet should slope toward the west or south.
The dressing wall in the bathroom should be kept simple, and the toilet should look uncluttered. You can use cream-coloured tiles. Since soap and water come into contact with the tiles or walls in the bathing area, choosing these materials carefully is important — otherwise they will leave dirty stains over time. You must light the bathroom properly. Fluorescent light works well, but a few bulbs are also capable of giving a clear reflection in front of the mirror.
Bathroom accessories such as the soap tray, toilet paper holder, hooks, and toothbrush holder should be in matching colours. A wardrobe adjoining the bathroom is a common feature.
Any light colour suits the toilet walls, but white suits it best. The water storage should be on the eastern, northern, or north-eastern side of the toilet. The toilet should have a small window on the eastern, western, or northern wall. The commode should be placed on the western side and should face south.
The eastern side of the house is ideal for building a bathroom. The morning sun's rays are considered good for wealth, so windows should be placed correctly in the bathroom, while also taking privacy into account when positioning them. Taps and showers in the bathroom may be fitted on the north wall, which is also a good place for the mirror.
