Jennifer Lopez Rebalances Bathroom Feng Shui With A Sleek, Vertical Storage Move – Inside The Clutter-Free Shelving Technique Designers Love
In Feng Shui, the bathroom has the lowest energy flow – here’s how Jennifer boosted hers with sleek, tall, tidy storage
Improving Feng Shui is perhaps most critical in the bathroom, a space experts often identify as having the lowest energy flow in the home. This challenge stems from the room's historical association with waste – a complication that affects every residence, including Jennifer Lopez's abode. Despite these inherent hurdles, the singer has successfully enhanced her room's energy through one strategic element: her storage.
As the winter chill lingers and we spend more time indoors seeking sanctuary, the link between bathroom storage and Feng Shui becomes even more influential. Selecting tall, vertical storage cabinets – much like the sleek, gray units seen in Lopez’s space – is a simple yet impactful way to refresh your home's energy for the new year.
These cabinets do more than just maximize vertical space or fill a 'dead area'; they are essential for maintaining a clutter-free environment. Ruth Foster, an interior design expert at Victoria Plumb, explains that this organization is vital for positive bathroom Feng Shui.

'To enhance the flow of Chi, it’s essential to maintain a sense of openness and fluidity in the bathroom. This can be achieved by keeping the space tidy and ensuring there’s a clear pathway for energy to move freely,' she begins. 'A clutter-free bathroom not only looks more appealing but also allows for better energy flow.'
By minimizing mess, you create a 'calm and serene environment' that serves as a perfect winter retreat for unwinding in a warm bath. Foster suggests using 'clever storage solutions such as tall units and floating shelves to keep essentials neatly organized.'
Beyond storage, your choice of bathroom light plays a significant role in energy flow. 'Natural light and good ventilation are key components of Feng Shui, as they help to refresh energy and keep the space feeling vibrant and airy. It’s important to take this into consideration when designing your bathroom,' Foster says.
To combat the shorter, darker days of the season, she recommends using large windows or skylights paired with sheer curtains. 'If natural light is limited, consider using mirrors strategically [a technique also seen in Lopez's space] to reflect light and create a brighter atmosphere.'
