Green Bathroom Designs for a Retro Look or Modern Luxury

Green isn’t the most common color in bathroom design, but green bathrooms are worth your consideration.

View in gallery

This color is popping up all over in interior design from kitchens to bedrooms and bathrooms. Green bathrooms range the gamut from classic traditional to modern glam and everything in between.

This is a complex color with so many shades; the look of green bathrooms is distinct based on the color variations of green and by the depth of each color. In addition, this color can be the foundation of the bathroom design or just provide the accent tones.

View in gallery

Either way, green is a beautiful addition to any bathroom. By the end of this article, we think that you will agree!

Best Green Paint Colors

Trying an interesting paint color on the walls of your bathroom is one of the best ways to add this dramatic color to your interior spaces. Here are some of our favorite greens for you to consider.

Green Bathroom Ideas and Inspiration

Green is the perfect way to inject a bit of drama into our everyday lives, and the bathroom is a wonderful place to experiment with a new color idea.

We have gathered some of our favorite green bathrooms for you to peruse and gain some inspiration for your own bathrooms.

Green Bathroom Tile

View in gallery

This bathroom has a contemporary style that at first glance is striking in its simplicity.

However, if you look closer, the marble walls and bath surround have a beautiful visual texture, and the deep green tile shower area is set off by the same color ceiling.

This stark difference creates an interesting visual contrast that sets the two sides of the bathroom apart. Jigsaw Interior Architecture designed this space.

Emerald Green Bathroom

View in gallery

If you are looking for a lush and dramatic style, try emerald green tiles. E and A Interiors used glossy scalloped tiles with a light grout to heighten the intricacy of the design.

They added further glam with the gold accents like the basin sink and gilded mirror. The marble countertops complement the herringbone marble tile floor.

The textural but light-colored marble does not compete with the emerald walls but supports the elegant style.

Green Bathroom Paint

View in gallery

Green paint, rather than tiles, is another way to add this lovely color to your bathroom design. This bathroom uses a green shade of Kelly green which is a dark shade of green that you find right between blue and yellow on the color wheel.

It is intense, but it doesn’t have the moody depth of forest green. Add life to the bathroom with potted plants and bring in rattan accents for extra texture and visual contrast.

This cool bathroom design is from Laura At Number Twelve.

Dark Olive Green Bathroom Tiles

View in gallery

For another modern hue, try a dark olive green tile. Notice the vertical angle of the tile. This orientation draws attention to the height of the bathroom and gives it a more modern look.

Also, this accent wall does double duty displaying both form and function with the insert of the tiny cabinet in the tile.

The wall provides the perfect contrast to the simple style of the walk-in shower. Cobalto Studio designed this bathroom.

Mint Green Bathroom

View in gallery

You don’t just have to use green to create a look of drama; you can use it to create a bathroom design that is calm and fresh using a light green color.

Mint green is one of the shades of green that has this effect. Try it on textured walls and with aqua accents like this beautiful bathroom.

For good measure, accent with marble countertops and brass fixtures to create a luxurious style. Chan and Eayrs designed this serene space.

White and Green Color Combo

View in gallery

If you are looking for a green bathroom design with a modern twist, try painting your walls with a split wall effect. This designer chose to paint the white walls with a bottom layer of dark green. This is a simple way to create an interesting effect.

The designer, Chelsea Hing, kept the other bathroom features simple like the thick wooden countertop and the wood surround mirror.

All of these together give the bathroom a look of rustic but also sophisticated simplicity.

Green Bathroom Decor

View in gallery

This bathroom does not shy away from the dark and moody atmosphere. Rather, it goes full steam ahead with the dark greens on the walls and trim and pairs it with the metallic gold chinoiserie wallpaper.

In addition, notice how the lighting in this bathroom combines ambient recessed lighting with the brass wall sconces.

This way, no corner of the room is left dark. This stunning bathroom is from Anna von Waldburg.

Green Bathroom Vanity

View in gallery

One of the most popular ways to use green in the bathroom is to paint the vanity.

Painting the bathroom dark green will create an effect that is dark overall, but painting the vanity dark green and keeping the walls white gives the room dramatic character but keeps it bright in appearance.

Craven Haven renovated this beautiful bathroom.

Green Subway Tile

View in gallery

Green tile even works with historic-style bathrooms. For example, consider this bathroom from FG Interiors. They used a variegated jewel green subway tile. The subway tile gives the room a traditional style, but the color green keeps the look current and exciting.

The classic historic style is further emphasized by the footed marble vanity and brass hardware.

Traditional Green Bathroom

View in gallery

Hunter green is a bold color, but it looks right at home in this bathroom. The green walls are balanced by the gold highlights and the warm wood textures. You would not expect it, but the contrasting red rug works well with the design to warm up the tile floors and provide a pop of contrast to the green walls.

Green Paneled WallView in galleryLone Fox

Adding paneling to a bathroom wall is a wonderful way to add texture and interest to a bathroom; paint the paneling green, and you create a look that is current and looks more expensive than it is.

This dark green looks amazing with the wood textures and sets off the warm colors to perfection.

Dark Green BathroomView in galleryOld Brand New

There are so many shades of green that look beautiful in the bathroom. In addition, green is an amazing complement to many styles from traditional bathrooms to modern bathrooms.

When paired with colors like pink and gold accents, green walls look refreshing and on-trend.

Sage Green BathroomView in galleryStyle Curator

If you are not interested in a dark green, you can try a light color green like sage or sea green. Consider the variegated scalloped tiles that the designer used as the backsplash in this design.

This tile varies from dark sage to almost white which creates wonderful visual texture.

Olive Green BathroomView in galleryKWD News

Placing many shades of green together is an effective design style. Consider this bathroom with the olive green walls, the natural green flowers, and wall art. Rather than lighten the bathroom with brass accents, this designer chose to use dark fixtures to keep the style understated.

Green Floor TilesView in galleryThe August Diaries

There are so many ways to incorporate green into the bathroom including the floor. These dark green herringbone floor tiles are a bold statement and provide a pop of color in this otherwise neutral bathroom. Pair green with white and black to balance the dramatic color with a simple design.

Susan Yeley Homes

patch among fields somewhere between Indianapolis and Bloomington. Their first project with SYH was a kitchen remodel, a total overhaul completed by JL Benton Contracting, that added color and function for this family of three (not counting the cats). A couple years later, they were knocking on our door again to strip the ensuite bedroom of its ruffled valences and red carpet—a bold choice that ran right into the bathroom (!)—and make it a serene retreat. Color and function proved the goals yet again, and JL Benton was back to make the design reality. The clients thoughtfully chose to maximize their budget in order to get a whole lot of bells and whistles—details that undeniably change their daily experience of the space. The fantastic zero-entry shower is composed of handmade tile from Heath Ceramics of California. A window where the was none, a handsome teak bench, thoughtful niches, and Kohler fixtures in vibrant brushed nickel finish complete the shower. Custom mirrors and cabinetry by Stoll's Woodworking, in both the bathroom and closet, elevate the whole design. What you don't see: heated floors, which everybody needs in Indiana.

Melshire Modern Guest Baths

Alair Homes Plano

These repeat clients had remodeled almost their entire home with us except this bathroom! They decided they wanted to add a powder bath to increase the value of their home. What is now a powder bath and guest bath/walk-in closet, used to be one second master bathroom. You could access it from either the hallway or through the guest bedroom, so the entries were already there. Structurally, the only major change was closing in a window and changing the size of another. Originally, there was two smaller vertical windows, so we closed off one and increased the size of the other. The remaining window is now 5' wide x 12' high and was placed up above the vanity mirrors. Three sconces were installed on either side and between the two mirrors to add more light. The new shower/tub was placed where the closet used to be and what used to be the water closet, became the new walk-in closet. There is plenty of room in the guest bath with functionality and flow and there is just enough room in the powder bath. The design and finishes chosen in these bathrooms are eclectic, which matches the rest of their house perfectly! They have an entire house "their style" and have now added the luxury of another bathroom to this already amazing home. Check out our other Melshire Drive projects (and Mixed Metals bathroom) to see the rest of the beautifully eclectic house.

Green Bathroom Color Tips

2 the following recommendations:

There are many shades of green, unfortunately, not all of them will look good in the design of the bathroom. Dark green shades will evoke associations with apartments that were built back in the 80s.

To avoid such embarrassment, listen to the recommendations of professionals or check out the catalog of green bathrooms. There you can determine for yourself the most acceptable shades of green and its combinations with other colors.

If the design of the apartment is made in a modern style, give preference to light shades. Marsh, light green, bright color is allowed.

Mint, olive, turquoise shades are suitable for classic design. For small rooms, you should choose light shades that visually expand the space of the room.

An important nuance - the green tint can visually mix with other colors that are located next to it.

Matching colors with green

The bathroom is a place where several different colors and shades can be combined at the same time. In order for everything to harmoniously fit into the interior, it is necessary to take into account not only the size of the room, but also keep everything in the same style.

Decorating your bathroom in green tones will help you not only visually increase the area of ​​your room, but also add coziness and freshness to your apartment or house.

There's a little trick to make your little green bathroom look bigger. If there is a need to make the room as light as possible, make three walls in the room green, but each wall should be one tone lighter than the previous one. Paint the fourth wall white or tile with white tiles.

Excellent combinations of light green and bright yellow. However, such combinations will be appropriate if your room is large enough and the interior is decorated in a Mediterranean style.

A bathroom decorated in the colors of marsh duckweed will look beautiful if you add light brown shades. This will give a little comfort and warmth.

If the room is decorated in muted green tones, you can add purple and brick shades.

We combine shades

Combinations of green shades with white, orange, gray, beige shades are considered classics.

If you want to make the interior more sunny and soft, it is recommended to use color combinations with green for the bathroom, such as rich green shades with whites, grays, blues, yellows, browns and reds.

If there is a need to expand the boundaries of the room - use not only light green, but also blue or blue shades.

Finishing materials

The most common bathroom finishing material is ceramic tiles. It can decorate the entire room.

Light large tiles are suitable for large rooms.
