When it comes to tiling, 2025 is the year of the green bathroom. That being said, it’s all very well being set on this colour palette, but how do you style it? How do you make a green bathroom timeless without falling victim to another interior design micro-trend? Here’s how…
Green Bathroom Ideas Table of contents
1. Make it Unique
One ‘trend’ that is definitely here to stay is carefully curating your space to make it completely unique. Having a bespoke green bathroom will capture your individuality whilst keeping your home feeling fresh and modern, but still homey.
Adding subtle pops of other colours you like, collecting antique, one-of-a-kind furniture, and even framing some artwork will really complement green, and keep it feeling personal to you. If you want to stick with tiling, why not try combining textures and patterns in other areas of your bathroom? For instance, opting for zellige tiles so that each one is unique, or installing clashing patterned floor tiles.
2. A Touch of Gold
One timeless combination is green and gold. This pairing has been popular across many industries including fashion, jewelry, and of course, interior design. But why do the two go so well together?..
…Gold naturally has connotations of luxury and grandeur, while green is associated with the natural world, so when the two are side by side their contrast creates a beautifully striking finish. Go as subtle or as bold as you like with gold, whether it’s small hardware details like door handles, taps, and light fixtures, or opt for a gold bathtub and mirrors.
3. The Biosphere Illusion
As the importance of sustainability is growing every year, the idea of bringing the outdoors in is becoming more and more appealing. Reconnecting with nature using house plants, green walls, and botanical prints all contribute to this trend.
These elements all work well in bathrooms as they create the illusion of being in an outdoor escape of tranquility and calm – in a bathroom this can feel very much like a spa. One way to execute this is to go all in with green horticultural patterns. Alternatively, use neutral tones and bring them to life with texture and house plants – giving you the effect of a green bathroom without directly tiling the colour on. Check out our biosphere tiles to really immerse yourself in this trend, or check out our brick effect tiles which complement green and foliage perfectly.
4. The Green Feature Wall
If you don’t want to go all-out green with your bathroom, why not try a feature wall? This works well with both muted colours and experimental patterns on the rest of your walls.
It also means you don’t have to commit to tiling your entire bathroom green, making it one of the least time-consuming and budget-friendly methods. A feature wall is a great way to frame specific areas of your bathroom, such as your shower or basin area. Pair it with more natural-looking designs, including stone and marble effect tiles to create a stunning contrast like the ones pictured.
5. Add a Shower Panel
Green shower panels are an efficient way to add a splash of green to your bathroom due to being easy to install. Because they are a singular, lightweight component, you don’t need to worry about applying each tile individually.
They can also be wiped clean very efficiently, and you don’t have the worry of mould and mildew build-up in the grout lines. Normally made of acrylic or PVC, they have excellent moisture-resistant properties. You can explore our collection of shower panels which are stocked in a variety of colours and designs.
6. Keep it Subtle
You don’t have to commit to vibrant jewel tones or olive greens. Just a hint of sage or mint green paired down even further with some cream tiles can provide a more neutral option without looking boring.
Why not try the half-tiled method (where the upper and lower half of the wall are two separate colours or patterns) if you’re using green wall tiles. Creating a contrast between the two colours can completely transform your space without the use of vibrant tones that may be out of your comfort zone.
Final Thoughts
These are some of the many ways in which you can experiment with colour when it comes to having a green bathroom. All of these designs are so different, but they each reflect how easy green is to work with. Needless to say, the green bathroom is a trend that is here to stay for many years to come, and now is the time to get creative.
