Bathroom Sinks Renovations , Not content with just red accessories in the bathroom? Why not go the whole hog and consider a red sink?

A bathroom sink renovation could involve fully replacing the sink bowl or in the form of a do it yourself project you re-design the outside shell of the sink by painting it or using a graphic sticker.

It occurred to us today that we haven't actually seen red sinks in the flesh before and wondered if they are something to consider. Have a look and tell us what you think: We want to hear from you - what do you think of the red sink? Is this something you would like to see on Red Candy?

The most popular form of sinks in bathroom design is a vessel sink. Offered in many materials, shapes and colors your vessel sink can either be the key accent piece or a complementary and charming accent to whatever theme you may decide.

Biggest concern for Feng Shui Bathroom

• Never put bathroom / toilet in the middle of your house. It will have a huge impact on health of people in the house.
• Imagine people in the house smell or see the toilet very often when they stay in the house. It will cause a health problem both physically and mentally to people who live in the house. This is one of the most in-auspicious Feng Shui Bathroom.
• Normally, Feng Shui Bathroom is quite flexible for people who have limitation in the house and cannot follow the good Feng Shui Bathroom. But bathroom or toilet in the middle of the house is totally unacceptable and difficult to find the way to sooth the impact. So, Avoid it as much as possible.

Bathroom at the front?

• Position of bathroom greatly impace lifestyle and Feng Shui Bathroom of people who live in the house.
• If the first room after you enter the house is the bathroom people who live in the house will have health or financial problem. The energy will flow our of the house very fast becasue bathroom is the room where has so much water and water means energy in Feng Shui Bathroom.
• To explain in more realistic way, the first thing after entering the house of people who live in such kind of house is to like to be going to toilet. They will worry about their look or health too much because they get to see bathroom very often.

Water is a flow of energy

Hide your toilet from the outside.

• Imagine people walk pass your bathroom and see the toilet all the time. It should be even worse, if the house (and toilet) is old. Who would want to walk in that area.
• If the space is not favor this Feng Shui Bathroom use some big frame to block toilet from people's eyes.

Big miror increases energy.

• Try putting big mirror in your bathroom. You will immedietly feel a big difference. It will make your bathroom bigger and more lively. People who use bathroom will feel very comfortable with the help from big mirror.

Use glass bell or wind bell

• Glass bell or wind bell is an excellent decoration for Feng Shui Bathroom. Hang it between the door and toilet area to hold the energy not to flow out of your bathroom too quickly.

Feng Shui Bathroom : Do

1. * Fix the leakage as soon as possible. Water is an energy in Feng Shui Bathroom phylosophy.
2. * Position the bathroom away from the front door of your house.
3. * And, position it away from the dining room and living room.
4. * Position the bathroom away from the kitchen.
5. * Hide the toilet section from bath area.
6. * Plants or nice decoration is recommended to create relaxed atmosphere
7. * Maintain a good ventilation in the bathroom.

Feng Shui Bathroom : Don't

1. * Bathroom should not too big or too small. Use mirror to technically enlarge the bathroom.
2. * However, do not place mirror opposite of each other.
3. * Do not store unncessary or expire items in the bathroom.
4. * Do not use sharp color for the bathroom. Soft color is always better for Feng Shui Bathroom.

Bathroom Storage problem | The art to fit the bare essentials.

In the context of a contemporary documentation sent Nordic Museum out a questionnaire about personal hygiene. From a young woman came the following list on essential hygiene items:

Facial Cleanser, shampoo, conditioner, comb, hair dryer, shower gel, face lotions, facial cream, eye cream, bubble bath, nail file, hårinpackning, brush for deep cleansing of skin, body lotion, cream cleanser for makeup, night cream, toothpaste, dental floss, toothbrush, hand lotion, foot spray, foot file, ear buds (tops), push the armpits, razor for my legs, pads and tampons, eye shadow, mascara, eyeliner, lipstick, day cream, powder, cream base, concealer, nail polish, perfumes, foam and spray conditioner.

She had still not received with such obvious items as:

Rouge, nagellacksremover, foundation, lip gloss, primer, face, bronzer, brow pencil, hand mirror with magnifier, tweezers, curler, powder brush, blush brush, toilet bag, bomullspads, makeup sponges, hair brush, hårvax, flat iron, hair spray, nail scissors, sparkling, hand soap, body soap, lip balm, hand cream, wipes, peeling, cuticle cream, shine serum, oil shower, foot bath salts and deodorant.

And not only that.

Many also want a little extra layer of toarullar and everything else that it is the consumption. Plus of course you want to squeeze in the bulky piles of towels and bath towels. The problem is that most bathrooms are small and cramped. To top it all, we often have a clean and peeled spamiljö with Feng Shui feel.

Are you going to get together the equation, you must carefully plan storage.
