Place a mirror directly opposite the toilet.

Cream

Gray

If your bathroom is located in the center of the house:

Paint the bathroom red to counter the shar chi (negative or bad chi).

Place in each corner of the bathroom a large stone, crystal, pottery, vase, statue, or other object that represents an earth element. This stabilizes the bathroom's strong water elements.
