Did you know? The colour green is huge in interior design right now. It’ll only take you a short flick through a glossy homeware mag to stumble across your first sage-shade setting. It’s also a highly popular colour for bathrooms.
Not only is it a trending colour that’ll take your home to the top level of amazing interior design but it’s calm, fresh and nature-inspired, perfect for adding a tranquil feel into your home. Green is so versatile and can suit a range of tastes from traditional and rustic to modern and minimalist.
It can also be incorporated in lots of different ways – from a lick of paint on the wall to a statement tile feature. In this post, we’re going to explore lots of different green bathroom ideas to add this refreshing hue into your home, in a way that perfectly suits who you are.
1. Soft Sage Green
Sage is having a moment right now. It’s a muted tone that effortlessly soothes with its understated feel. That’s why it’s perfect for creating a calming ambience. The earthy undertones offer an outdoorsy aesthetic – that’s perfect for bringing a little nature inside. Choose to paint the backdrop of your bathroom with this colour, or use sage green tiles against a neutral palette. You can easily add other nature-inspired details too through plants and natural wood accents. We think sage is here to stay and bring a clean, airy look to your house.
2. Fresh Mint Green
Remember the mint green suites from yester-year? Mint green can be brought back into the bathroom but this time with a modern edge. The fresh and pastel palette of this hue offers a mid-century reminiscence and nostalgic feel. Instead of colour-drenching everything in this shade though like the old retro fixtures, it can be used as an uplifting colour on backsplashes, tile feature walls or everyday accents like toothbrush holders.
3. Rich Emerald Accents
If we were to look at green on a colour spectrum, we’d leave mint at one end with its counter opposite being the deep, dark and mysterious tones of emerald green. It is a stunning shade that offers a luxurious richness as well as a contrast depth that can’t go unnoticed. This rich, jewel-toned colour can be used behind your shower in tiles, or as a simple backsplash. You could also create a breathtaking feature wall in paint. Emerald green works well in bright, airy rooms – because the colour is quite dark, you don’t want to make your room feel closed in.
4. Deep Forest Tones
Sitting along the darker side of green with the deep-jewelled tones of emerald we’ve got forest. It boasts the same richness and made-you-look statement, however it’s more of an earthy, nature-inspired colour. When worked into your bathroom it can make a truly moody aesthetic that’s perfectly complemented by black and brass coloured accents like mirrors and taps.
5. Botanical Greenery
For a lush and tropical feel in your room – go for vivid, leafy greens. Jungle-inspired hues are great for creating impact. They will give your space a vibrant energy that’s perfect for the after-shower get up and go before work. We love the look of pairing dark green bathroom ideas with organic materials and textures like slatted panels, bamboo accents and rattan storage baskets – really bringing that outdoors feeling inside.

6. Go bold with Wallpaper
Wallpaper is sometimes overlooked in the bathroom, but it’s an amazing way to bring a statement style into your home. We’ve already discussed botanical hues and another way to bring a jungle-influenced edge to your interior is with oversized palm prints and leaf-dotted wallpaper. Make a feature by adding it to a single wall, and then paint the rest with a complementing green tone.
7. Subway Tiles
Subway tiles are trending right now, and we suppose they’ve also been high up on bathroom styles since they were first introduced to the scene back in the Victorian ages. They can effortlessly transform your space with their brick-shaped quality and sometimes irregular smoothness. Why not make a feature backsplash by tiling up to the wall from your sink? Or add them behind a shower. You can also switch up the look by going for vertical placement, herringbone or classic brick grid layout.
8. Just a Touch of Green
We understand – adding a bold colour to your bathroom isn’t for everybody and it’s easy to fall back on popular hues like blues and whites. However, there’s still a way to add green to your space subtly. Think about adding green details like towels, bathmats and decorative items such as toothbrush holders and toilet roll holders. The benefit of doing this is that it’s also really cost-effective and if you change your mind anytime soon, you can switch it up easily.
9. Green & White – a harmonious blend
Similarly to above – green can often seem a daunting shade to put in your bathroom. That’s why pairing it with a softer colour can be a perfect way to introduce a new hue. Green and white together create a crisp, clean and refreshing feel that go together in harmony. White tones help the green to stand out while offering an airy aesthetic. How about choosing a white wall with green feature tiles? Or green walls with white fixtures? The possibilities are endless.
10. A Splash of Lime
Want to add a playful edge to your interior? Like all good designers know, one way to stand out is with fun, vibrant shades like lime. For a lively and energetic feel, consider using this hue. Lime is a bold and zesty hue that’s perfect for creating a striking edge. Add it in smaller doses, for example with fun lettering on bath mats and edgy décor – rather than going all-out lime.
