Green Bathroom Tile Ideas – 10 ways to upstyle your bathroom with glorious greens
Sitting in between cyan and yellow on the colour spectrum, green is the colour of nature and is often associated with health and new beginnings. Green radiates freshness and, as it’s one of the easiest colours on the eye, it’s no wonder that green is one of the hottest bathroom trends for this year.
Keep reading to find out how to pick the perfect shade of green tiles for your bathroom and
discover some inspiring ideas to make your bathroom stand out above the rest.
Which shades of green will look good in a bathroom?
From the freshest mint green to rich, deep, bottle green, there is truly a shade of green for every bathroom.
If you’re feeling bold and want a dramatic look for your bathroom, consider tiling the room entirely in emerald or teal.
If you prefer lighter shades, opt for a pastel or sage green or you can combine dark green with white for an effective contrast.
Darker tiles will make a space appear smaller but you can still use them to great effect in a small space, even if you don’t have any natural light in the room. It’s really down to your personal preference.
Can I combine different shades of green?
Different shades of green can look incredible when combined. You can choose from multi-shade mosaics, fish scale tiles or experiment with different coloured glass subway or square tiles.
It’s a great idea to gather some tile samples together to see which shades will work well in your bathroom before you commit to placing an order.
It’ll also give you chance to see what the tiles look like in different light and in different parts of the room.
Glorious green bathroom tile ideas
Whether you favour a muted shade of sage or prefer elegant emeralds, we’ve selected some beautiful green bathroom tile ideas to help you pick out the perfect tiles.
Simple sage green wall tiles
If you like muted colours, sage green is worth considering for a bathroom. These gorgeous textured tiles create a feeling of calm and we love the addition of the mint green sink.
Green goes beautifully with gold so consider adding gold brassware to your green bathroom to make the tiles pop.
Art Deco-style tiles and wallpaper
This glamorous bathroom design is heavily inspired by the 1920s and 30s Art Deco style.
Characterised by bold colours and symmetrical patterns, the bold, deep green tiles have been combined with decorative wallpaper to great effect.
Any areas of your bathroom that don’t come into contact with water can be papered or tiled and it’s a great way to add contrast and break up large areas of tiling.
It’s also much easier to change up your paint or wallpaper than it is your tiles so it’s worth considering if you’re
prone to changing your mind!
Adding small touches like adding a gold tile edging strip can make a real difference to the overall finish of your bathroom.
Green marble tiles
There is something so timeless about natural marble. This elegant stone creates a calming, spa-like feel and, since it’s been used by the ancient Greeks and Romans, it’s unlikely to be going out of fashion anytime soon.
Polished marble looks best in large-format tiles, where the tiles are laid as close together as possible to create an almost seamless finish.
Fun fish scale tiles
What could be more well-suited to a bathroom wall than fish scale tiles?
These gorgeous, sea-themed tiles are one of our favourite looks and they’re equally at home in a family bathroom as they are in a master en-suite.
These tiles work well as a feature wall or splashback and make a big splash when combined with simple white tiles.
Glass tiled bathroom floor tiles
Who said small herringbone tiles are just for the walls?
Try something different and add a glossy tiled floor to your bathroom. The deep green tiles add the wow factor to an otherwise completely white bathroom and the polished finish is ideal for a bathroom floor.

Bold striped tiles
Shower enclosures are the ideal spot to have some fun with your tiles. You can introduce unconventional patterns, vibrant colours and unusual layouts that can be paired with plainer surrounding tiles.
Bold stripes are a classic look that never dates and this clever design has been tiled to perfection.
The brass shower heads are a stylish addition to this stripy space. You can create a similar look with green and white metro or square tiles.
Square wall tiles
Understated and elegant, these spearmint-coloured tiles are a joy to behold. With coloured bathroom suites becoming increasingly popular once again, you can add matching ceramicware or hunt out a contrasting sink in pink or yellow.
These tiles have been edged with border tiles, it’s a super-stylish way to finish a look and a great alternative to tile edging.
Magnificent mosaic tiles
Mosaic tiles are synonymous with swimming pools, spas and bathrooms and they’re an excellent choice for your home. If you don’t fancy a wall-to-wall tiled bathroom, take inspiration from the bathroom below and create a feature panel.
It’s a really effective way to add interest to a bathroom and a great idea for introducing colour.
Glossy metro tiles
There is something so classy and timeless about deep green. Floor-to-ceiling dark subway tiles are a bold choice, but they’re oh so elegant.
Combine bottle green tiles with white sanitary ware, a light-coloured floor and gold or brass taps for a bathroom that you won’t want to leave.
Mouthwatering mint green tiles
For a completely different look, that’s no less striking than deep-coloured tiles, pick ice-cream shades of green.
Mint green is a refreshing colour that’s perfectly suited to light bathrooms. Combine it with pink, white and plenty of plants for the sweetest bathroom.
