From the shower floors to the walls, installing bathroom tile is an excellent way to give this important room a major refresh. If you’re looking for inspiration, green tiles add a fresh pop of color to your bathing space. Whether it’s a sleek subway wall tile, light marbled hues, or stunning herringbone, the possibilities are endless.
You can add new green-colored floor tiles, elevate a walk-in shower, or decorate the walls with this versatile material. A green tile bathroom makes both a powder room and a main bathroom look and feel more lively. In the list below, you can find the most inspiring green bathroom tile ideas that will give your bathroom a refreshing makeover.
Dark Green Subway Tiles Add Drama
The dark, deep forest green color of these subway tiles gives this bathroom a bold, dramatic vibe. Note how the white grout lines help to make the details and the color of the tile pop.
In this example, the homeowner chose to install the tiles from the floor to the ceiling for an impressive effect.

Mix and Match Green Tiles with Other Materials
Although green tiles are prominent in this bathroom, they’re mixed with other materials as well. The swirling marble floors and tub surround give the room a sense of luxe sophistication.
Using white cabinets and fixtures also helps to break up the space so it doesn’t feel too monochrome or bland. Mixing the two materials (and color schemes) also gives this particular bathroom design an elevated look and feel.

Add Metallics to Make Green Tile Pop
The dark green tiles in this bathroom-laundry room combo are bold and deep, giving it a contemporary vibe. Installing sleek brushed gold hardware including some towel racks, the rainfall showerhead, and other accents to match not only visually breaks up the space, but it also lends it a sleek, sophisticated component.
Instead of adding standard bland builder’s grade fixtures, the homeowner chose to upgrade to something a bit more high-end, making this one of the best green bathroom ideas on our list.

Try a Light Green Herringbone Tile
If you want your green bathroom tile to be a bit more subtle, consider this example. Yes, the shower cove has green walls, but the shade is much lighter and has a slightly marbled effect with tones of ivory or creamy white mixed in.
The choice to install herringbone tile also gives this bathroom a sweet, soft look that’s not too modern or cold. It also pairs nicely with the white paint throughout the rest of the bathroom, giving it a perfect, subtle pop of color without being too overbearing.

Combine Colors and Patterns
Here, the bathroom walls feature an almost olive-green colored tile with a sleek, reflective high-shine finish. However, the bathroom floor tile boasts a classic, retro-inspired black-and-white pattern. The combination of these two color and pattern choices gives the space a unique, dramatic look that most people don’t typically see in standard bathrooms.
Combining the two styles and colorways is a fun way to mix and match tones to create a bold style that gives the bathroom a distinct yet casual vibe.

Use Green Tile for the Floors
Although this bathroom is mainly white, the floors are a dark green tile, giving it a dramatic contrast. One of our top tips for green bathroom tiles is to choose one single component of the room to add green, leaving the rest a separate color.
Adding colored tile to a bathroom instantly gives it a completely different look, and it’s an easy upgrade. While this particular design choice isn’t overly dramatic, it still does a nice job of making the space feel warm and inviting.

Try Tile in a Vibrant Green Color
This bright, almost emerald-green tile makes the bathroom in this example stand apart. The unique color of the tile gives it a modern look, and the vanity and other accents have been painted to match.
A large skylight allows natural light to come into the space, and it helps to highlight the unusual tile color and modern design. The floor and bathtub are featured in a neutral, terracotta color that helps to showcase the contrast of the vivid green bathroom tiles on the wall and backsplash.

Install Green Tiles as an Accent Wall
Using deep, dark green tile is a bold choice for any interior design, but it’s especially dramatic in a bathroom. This space features a sleek, modern green tile all along one corner and throughout the shower except for the floor.
Installing this thin, sleek rectangular tile this way creates an accent wall, making the green-colored tile a focal point that contrasts nicely against the diamond-shaped neutral tile on the bathroom floor and the bright white sink.

Apply Green Bathroom Tile to Part of the Wall
Instead of green wallpaper, the homeowner chose to install dark green tiles on the wall. However, they only added it about 3/4 of the way up instead of to the ceiling.
This design works well in smaller bathrooms since it prevents the tile from “swallowing” the room entirely. Allowing the upper section of the white walls to remain helps to make this compact space look and feel just a bit larger.

Bring in Luxury with Green Marble Tile
If you like the idea of green bathrooms but don’t want the tile to be too dark or bright, consider installing green-toned marble instead. In this example, the shower walls feature large, high-end marble tiles with a deep green hue and subtle swirls of white.
Black trim on the glass shower door and the choice to use black shower heads make this bathroom look sophisticated and luxurious.
Use Tile to Express Your Personal Style
This charming contemporary bathroom boasts a fun interplay of textures, patterns, and colors. The light grassy green tile on the shower walls adds a fresh, natural touch and pops nicely against the white tile trim.
Note how the rest of the bathroom has wood floors, but the shower features a fun and funky two-toned hexagonal tile. The homeowner also added patterned wallpaper to the hallway and a different pattern to the adjoining room, making this home a cheerful place that encourages you to have fun with interior design.

Make Tile the Star of the Show
Green is a versatile color that works well in lots of spaces, including the bathroom. Here, the deep earthy green tile on the walls gives the space a natural feel.
There are not many other features in this particular bathroom, which allows the tile to become the main attraction. Choose from several shades of green to find the one that works best for your space.

Choose Green Tile in a Fun Shape
Not all tile has to be in a square or rectangular shape. In this bathroom, a charming light green hexagonal tile was used for the bathroom floor. It’s a great way to make a space feel fun and modern while also giving it a relaxing, spa-like feel.
The large window lets lots of natural light into the room, and the rest of the space features white to help make the green tile floors pop.

Apply Green Tile to Unique Room Features
The concept of a green tile bathroom is enticing, but you might not want to use it on every surface. Here, the homeowner installed a beautiful textured green tile over a unique feature — the oddly-shaped wall behind the toilet.
This draws the eye toward this part of the bathroom while giving it a nice look next to the metallic fixtures and simple color scheme. This example proves that tile can be a great way to add finishing touches to your bathroom.

Use Green to Make a Statement
A beautiful claw foot tub and luxurious floor tile give this bathroom a luxurious vibe. The brushed gold fixtures and gold claw feet on the tub tie the look together. However, adding the shiny bright green subway tiles brings the bathroom a touch of modern style. Blending these styles is a good way to make a statement in your own home.

Incorporate Tile for a Natural Feel
Wood and stone accents give this bathroom a calming, natural vibe. The choice to install unique green tile on the shower walls brings it all together. Rather than creating a traditional bathroom with white tile, this design features a lively green tile that complements the space’s nature-inspired aesthetic.

Pair vertical Green tiles with black and white flooring
The black and white chevron flooring in his modern bathroom with a black vanity and black fixtures is balanced out by the use of subtle green tiles on half of the bathroom walls. The combination of the different tiling and the two shades of green makes for a unique and elegant effect that makes the white bathtub stand out.
