A classic grey shaker kitchen in a flat with exposed brick walls

post

This gorgeous turn-of-the-century apartment for sale in Sweden (photographed by Frederik J Karlsson for Alvhem) has partially exposed brick walls by the window adding a warm and rustic effect to the otherwise classic interior. The classic shaker kitchen is paired with beige walls with green undertones for a beautiful combination of colors.

The rest of the living space is decorated classically, with the original porcelain fireplace and the floral armchairs adding a bit of a romantic element to the interior.

While the main part of the kitchen is designed exclusively with lower cabinets, the module opposite the window goes all the way towards the ceiling. This height is sufficient for all kitchen appliances and lots of storage space.

17 Inspiring Green Bathroom Tile Ideas for a Refreshing Makeover

post

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.

A contemporary residential renovation with classic elements

This newly-built private residence in the south of Finland is designed by Fyra (in collaboration with Studio BonBon Architects, photographed by Riikka Kantinkoski).

This beautifully styled turn-of-the-century apartment for sale in Sweden (Photographed by Walti Hösli for Entrance Makleri) has some bold color choices that give the space a unique character.

The living room has a grey wall, paired with a darker grey tone on the ceiling, white textiles, and lamp shades for a powerfully contrasting look. The living room and bedroom are connected with double interior doors for a semi-open floorplan.

The kitchen is painted bold pink on the walls, kitchen cabinets, and wall shelving. The window seat offers the ideal spot for drinking coffee in the morning.

14 Inspiring Pink Hallway Ideas to Welcome Your Guests

post

Searching for a way to showcase your personality in your interior design? A pink hallway may be the solution you’ve been looking for. The color pink can evoke feelings of peace and well-being, making it the perfect introduction to your home.

From bold hot pink to elegant powder pink, there’s a huge range of shades to choose from for your hallway design. Below are the most elegant hallway ideas to use as inspiration if you’re ready to ditch plain white walls in your entryway.

Floor to Ceiling Mirrors and Blush Pink Paint Create a Stunning Entrance

This example takes the space around the front door and fills it with life for a dramatic first impression. A warm blush pink covers everything in this alcove, including the trim, door, and even part of the floor.

The paint on the floor ends with a crisp diagonal line running between the mirrored cabinetry and wall, marking an obvious shift from one room to the next.

A Pale Pink Hallway With Light Natural Wood Floors, Black Accents, and a Purple-Toned Statement Piece

This pale pink style is full of elegance and calm. The light wood flooring and white trim pair perfectly with this shade of pink, and the black accents pop against this backdrop.

Furniture in dark hues can bring a sense of depth to this type of space, as seen here. The plum shade is the perfect complement to this hallway design, drawing the eye and bringing attention to the additional statement pieces.

A Bright Salmon Pink Hallway With a Gallery Wall and Decorative Items in the Corner

For an interior design that’s full of visual interest, try pairing a brighter pink paint on the walls with high contrast accents. This gallery wall showcases abstract art in black, white, and shades of tan, which stands out well in this space. Bright natural light bathes the space in an inviting warmth, creating the ideal introduction to your house.

Use Pink paint colours to make a Section of your Hallway stand out

In this beautiful historic hallway, a pink wall color was used to highlight a section of the space. The pink tone stands out against the green-grey wall color used in the main entryway area. By using the pink on the inside of the curved doorway, this beautiful feature stands out powerfully.

Soft, Baby Pink With Gold Accents, Leather Cabinet Pulls, and Dark Wood Floors

For a fresh, more neutral style, combine a soft pink base with dark brown flooring and decorate with striking accessories. This hallway design uses smooth-faced cabinetry for additional storage, which allows the same paint to be used to create a cohesive look.

Leather pull handles on the doors pull in the brown shades from the floor, and the brassy-gold decor is the perfect complement to complete the design.

If you’re in search of darker and more dramatic hallway ideas, this might be the style for you. A dark pink tone sets the stage for daring furniture and decor full of eye-catching patterns. The striking dark wood makes for a historic air that’s quickly contrasted by both modern and vintage items.

The resulting interior is one that leaves visitors with a strong first impression that will stick with them throughout the rest of the home.

Interior design is an excellent way to show off your style and create an endless source of inspiration in your daily life. One way you can achieve this is to decorate your hallway with fun hues and items that you find joy in.

Mixing different pink paint colors in a single room is an easy way to create depth in a small space. The soft pink paired with the darker rose tone is an excellent combination for this entryway and goes very well with the green hues in the next room.

A Subtle Pink Hallways With Matching Accessories and Unique Features

To easily create an inviting hallway, decorate the space with items that are similar in color to the main shade used for the room.

Pink Walls and Light-Toned Natural Wood Floors With Black Accents

Similar to many of the other hallway ideas we’ve looked at so far, this example pairs walls in pink with natural wood floors and black accents. The resulting hallway is one full of contrast, but not aggressively so. A large framed mirror and decorative antique ladder provide additional visual interest.

Rich Wood Materials and an Abstract Mirror in a Rose Pink Hallway

This fully pink hallway serves as great inspiration for anyone looking for an unforgettable, yet still subtle, entry hallway. Hardwood flooring set at a diagonal from the entrance leads you deeper into the room, and the small side table is conveniently placed to hold essentials like car keys.

The unique mirror, lamp, and light fixture are excellent finishing touches.

A Classic Pink and White Hallway With a Pale Wood Floor

For the final example in our list of pink hallway ideas, we have a simplistic space that peacefully welcomes you into the home. White paint around the entrance alcove brightens the room and creates a sense of lightness as you enter.

Neutral-colored furniture and decor would fit well here, though the lack of such items in the immediate area is not missed in this space.

Pink paint colors are used everywhere in this Small Hallway

This is one of the more subtle pink hallway ideas because of the light pastel paint color used in this room. However, by using the same paint color on the walls, ceiling, and storage cabinet an impressive tone-on-tone effect is achieved for an eye-catching look.
