The green bathroom trend
Are green bathrooms fashionable?
Yes. The green trend is back.
When we talk about green bathroom design, many are put off by the idea and immediately taken back to the 70s, to be reminded of head-to-floor murky green tiles, baths, basins and toilets.
Thankfully, bathroom design has moved on a lot since then, and modern styles and bathroom features now available offer a plethora of options to introduce green into your bathroom in a stylish, sophisticated and bang-on-trend way.
Much of the modern-day green bathroom design trend has been roused by the prevailing outside-in interior design craze.
This ecological contemporary theme is becoming increasingly favoured across the home and one that can be effortlessly imitated in the bathroom.
It's all about bringing plants and foliage indoors, making the most of natural light and using natural materials across the space.
It’s easy to assemble an enchanting green outside-in bathroom design, even if your budget is limited.
Whilst there’s lots to say about green as a modern design colour, on the reverse of this, it is becoming a firm favourite amongst those looking to achieve a more traditional bathroom look.
Darker greens such as opulent emerald green and mossy moody green tones have sparked interest amongst those capturing a classic allure inside of their bathroom space.
Not everyone wants an ultra-modern look. Green is a flawless colour pairing for a more muted traditional look with heart-warming natural appeal.
A few things to consider
What type of green will you choose?
First up, decide what kind of green you’d like to base your bathroom design around. Then find the hues, tones and colours that compliment your chosen green.
Will you pick a rich and dark emerald green to achieve a glamorous vintage bathroom with mid-century jewel-toned appeal brought to life with brassy finishes and traditional-style white bathroom features?
Maybe it will be a sage or earthy leafy green colour that will intertwine with calming and humble natural tones and rustic woody bathroom features.
You could choose cool and breezy peppermint green to recreate your own home spa sanctuary, using whites and greys to achieve a crisp clean and soothing finish.
Or perhaps you want to experiment with mixing between retro and contemporary when choosing perky pastel greens and deeply enchanting grey?
Pick a green and work from there.
How much green will you include in your bathroom?
Green can be integrated into a bathroom space as much, or as little as you like.
Whilst you could go for an eccentric style that’s all-out different and unique by covering the walls in green tiles and green features, there’s also plenty you can do to take a more modest approach when designing a green-themed bathroom.
One of the easiest and most cost-effective options is to paint the wall to construct a stand-out splash of green.
But if you want something a little more exciting on the eye, it's definitely worth considering green bathroom tiles or wall panels.
And, for added texture, mix and match between tile colours or experiment with a herringbone pattern.
Wallpaper is another choice you may wish to consider.
Alternatively, you may choose to go green through the bathroom furniture.
Green vanity and WC units are becoming increasingly popular as a way of flickering a flamboyant, yet structured glow of green across the bathroom.
And if you want to keep things as natural as possible, indoor plants are a speedy and easy way to add green to your bathroom space.
Theme your bathroom around crisp whites, greys and oak tones, before choosing an outside-in design achieved through a mixture of potted plants and foliage.
Green bathroom design ideas you may want to consider
Bluey-green bathroom spa bliss
Create your very own home spa when you move closer to the blue-green slice of the colour wheel.
Peppermint green is a refreshingly revitalising colour, that brings a cool and calming dynamic to the bathroom mix.
This is a superb colour choice if you’re looking to go green in a smaller space, because of its bright light reflecting properties.
To create the ultimate relaxation space, consider a traditional white pedestal basin and close-coupled toilet, paired with square peppermint tiles.
Build out the spa scene by tiling one whole wall, to create a feature wall, or opt for the half and half look.
And to achieve a space that truly soothes the sole, why not choose a double-ended or corner bath?
When it comes to flooring, you’ve got a few options.
Either opt for minimalist grey tiles, such as marble or be adventurous and explore green a little more when choosing a contemporary bold and bright emerald green floor.
For a seamless finish, choose monochrome taps. And, for an added element of spa-space luxury, the waterfall tap is a subtle, yet stunning extra-special tap choice to complete the look.
Don’t forget to accessories with your favourite scented candles, fluffiest white towels and calming houseplants to complete your home spa.
Sage green bliss
Sage green is taking interior design by a storm. It’s a colour that is on this year’s hot list and we love it.
Homeowners are finding new and inventive ways to drip-feed this naturally gentle green tone into their homes, and the bathroom is no exception.
It’s a colour that works in both modern and traditional-style bathrooms, with plenty of options to mix and match with other colours to create a cosy and comforting feel.
For a sophisticated and stylish approach to greening up your bathroom, why not consider sage green bathroom furniture?
Go as green as you like when choosing from compact and wall-mounted vanity units, cupboards and centrepiece-worthy WC units.
Pair vanity units with a white basin, and to keep things modern and fresh, choose matt black taps.
Compliment sage green with wholesomely neutral muted tones such as white, cream, oatmeal and light grey across your walls and flooring.
Keep the texture alive by opting for large profile panels with a natural stone finish.
If you have a smaller space or simply want to use sage green as a feature colour, why not opt for neutral white or grey bathroom furniture, and instead create a feature wall behind the basin using sophisticated sage or mossy green tiles?
Blue and green is definitely a sight to be seen
Ever heard the saying ‘blue and green should never be seen’? Well, when it comes to green bathroom design, the rule of thumb simply does not apply.
The two most popular bathroom colours can be brought together to evoke a truly tasteful and suave design.
Choose green as your base colour. Start by painting the walls with a light and bright green colour. For a retro twist that adds a little more body to the bathroom composition, use wall panels.
To avoid an overbearing amount of green, use white or another light-reflecting colour such as coral or flamingo pink, to create a feature wall. Choose tiles to start building some depth and texture to the space.
This will keep green present in a subtle and stylish way, without overdoing it before you start adding blue.
Next, build a layer of blissful blue with dark navy bathroom furniture. If you have a bath, opt for a complimentary blue bath panel.
To lift the colour and make your blue and green features stand out, use light-coloured floorings such as tiles or patterned vinyl.
Complete this beautiful clash of modern and traditional with a brush brassed shower and taps.
Create a modern mega mix of colour with green
Just because you’d like to blend green into your bathroom, it doesn't mean that it has to be the main colour.
We know blue and green work together, but if you’re looking for something slightly more unique and unconventional, why not consider pinks and oranges?
On paper, it may sound a little OTT. But with a little thought and planning, you can create a game-changing modern look that will bring your bathroom up-to-date.
Use a warm pinky-orange across one or two walls. Balance the configuration of light and dark with white wall tiles and flooring. Then add green.
Go for a sage green vanity unit and cupboards. For extra effect, choose units with a corrugated finish or black bar handles.
Choose a wet room shower to focus gaze on the colour composition. To structure the flow of this cosmopolitan look, use modern darker features such as a matt black shower kit, a black basin and shower tray and a black towel rail or premium radiator.
Forestry-inspired green bathroom design ideas
Bathroom design is all about choosing colours that connect you to a personal connotation.
When you think of what the colour green means to you, you may be reminded of the great outdoors.
Are you taken to organic scenes of forestry with towering trees and blue sky breaking through the fluttering leaves? Maybe there’s a river that trickles gently through the fresh and fragrant woodland.
This scene of natural beauty and tranquillity can be recreated through bathroom design when using green.
There are a few ways to do this, and plenty of opportunities to create a harmonious outside-in balance using different materials and green hues.
Choose a fun and funky green wallpaper
Mix together vibrant green, with minimalistic timber tones when creating a flourishing green feature wall using a loud and quirky green wallpaper print.
Even just a small section of bold and eye-catching wallpaper can make a big difference to this space. You don’t need to cover a large wall section to show off real character. Sometimes just a small wall is enough to bring your bathroom to life.
This is a fun and out-of-the-box option if your bathroom has an obscure layout. Rather than working against unusual wall placement, celebrate it and enhance its uniqueness.
To bring your bathroom back down to earth, choose grey-silver wooden wall panelling. Let the feature walls do the talking, and keep the core bathroom furniture slick and simple by opting for a back-to-wall toilet and a wall-hung or pedestal basin.
All-out natural appeal
For something a little warmer, but equally au-natural, choose pine or tropical hardwood panelling for floor and ceiling coverage.
Shine the spotlight on Mother Nature’s invention by contrasting this beautifully enriched timber against crisp-cut, light and airy white wall tiles or panels.
Next, bring the sage green to the mix.
This earthy colour can be carefully constructed around the room by incorporating green vanity units.
Keep things effortlessly simple and minimalistic when you choose to add a few specks of black across the space.
Then, let new age meet natural beauty when choosing a stunning black curved vessel basin, combined with a minimalistic matte black tap.
To amplify the forestry feels, aim to stick with natural materials across the space. This will ensure a calming sense of balance and well-being throughout.
Use deeply charming dark grey stone floor tiles and pebble-coloured accessories such as towels and a chrome grey or matte black shower.
House plants will look at home in this space, whilst contributing to the calming colour palette and soothing silhouettes.
Let the natural elements in your space do the talking by opting for a wet room shower with a clear screen or a stunning roll top bath.
Gorgeous grey and green
Grey and green are a magical modern match.
Grey is a popular bathroom colour amongst those looking to achieve an up-to-date design.
For those whose bathrooms don’t take well to black, grey is a perfect go between lighter and darker shades.
It works so well in bathrooms of all shapes and sizes and offers great versatility as a tone that can easily be paired with a range of bright, bold, fancy and fiery colours.
Adding colour to a grey bathroom also negates the risk of ending up with a flat or clinical bathroom.
Ultimately, you should feel at home when you step into your bathroom. Adding colour, such as gorgeous green, to a bathroom space will ensure that your bathroom provides homely comfort.
When choosing a colour to intertwine with your grey bathroom, why not choose green?
Industrial grey with foresty green bathroom design
Industrial bathroom designs are in. Green is a wonderful way to bring together industrial modern chic with organically wholesome tranquillity.
Build out your grey and green bathroom space by starting with grey. Opt for clean and moody concrete and slate grey colours across wall panels and flooring.
Choose ash grey vanity units with a white basin, perfect for storing away towels and bathroom essentials to maintain the minimalist look.
Be sure to add an element of warmth and comfort with a luxury design dark grey radiator.
To further soften the industrial style, add a gentle glimmer of green by incorporating a leafy green tiled feature wall behind your basin. Or to make a grandiose green statement, bring your wet room to life with a backsplash of forest green tiles.
A white roll top bath will bring a soothing soulful balance to your grey and green bathroom space.
And, for an extra touch of minimalist appeal, choose a large overhead shower, with a clear wet room screen and black shower tray.
Pastel green and ash grey
For something that is a little more playful, why not go for a pastel green tone?
You’ve got a little more wiggle room to go darker with your grey tone with this protruding colour.
Choose an ash grey and pair with popping pastel green tiles.
If the look is too dark for a smaller space, swap out grey features for white.
For example, choose a white basin and vanity unit to balance things out. Select black handles and taps to tie the three tones together, whilst creating a show-stopping basin focal feature.
Traditionally green and grey
If you’d prefer something that offers classic appeal, why not include green in your traditional bathroom design?
Choose grey vanity units with shaker doors, paired with a grey bathroom cabinet with a mirror.
Add a green basin black splash using dark green tiles. This is so simple, and subtle, yet a highly effective way to intertwine a sophisticated splosh of green.
Pair with a low-level toilet, or to add more grey, choose a back-to-wall toilet with an ash grey WC unit.
To maintain an open and capacious space, keep the wall colour light by choosing white or light grey wall panels or a painted wall, contrasted against a grey floor and ceiling.
Choose chrome or brassy taps and handles to finish the look.
