Much like the green kitchen, the green bathroom is on-trend and timeless. Yes, it’s hing a moment, but it kind of always has been. Green is such a versatile color that it can never go out of style, which is why it’s a go-to for our forite interior designers. “I love using shades of green in bathrooms,” says Rebekah Zeloff of Imparfait Design Studio. “The grounding color can go from speakeasy to garden vibes depending on the hue and application.”
When it comes to hue, you can opt for a moody moss tone, a soothing seafoam, a bold emerald—or a combination. You can then apply your chosen shades of green to your bathroom by painting the walls, installing shower or floor tiles, or putting up wallpaper. You can even source a green claw-foot freestanding tub. For more green bathroom design ideas, as well as the answers to your frequently asked questions, scroll on.
What is the best green bathroom color?The best green color for your bathroom remodel depends entirely on the vibe you’re looking to create. If you want a relaxing, spa-like bathroom, go for a sage or a pale seafoam. For a dramatic, sultry feel, choose a deep forest green. And to achieve a vibrant pop, gem-like emerald is the way to go.
What color tile goes with a green vanity?If you’re painting your vanity green, the most obvious tile pairing is white. It’s crisp, it’s classic, it’s safe. It never won’t work. But if you’re more daring, you can mix a green vanity with near-matching green tile for a tonal look, or you can juxtapose a green vanity with contrasting pink tile for a total shock.
What are the best paint colors for a green bathroom?There are tons of beautiful green paint colors ailable for your bathroom walls. Ashley Martin of Ashley Martin Design is partial to earth tones like Evergreen Fog by Sherwin-Williams, while Rachel Rector of Chinotto House prefers a bolder hue like Kendal Green by Sherwin-Williams. We’re also big fans of Bancha by Farrow & Ball, Backwoods by Benjamin Moore, and Saged by Backdrop. However, there’s no right answer as it all depends on the look you’re hoping to achieve and what works best with your fixtures and other bathroom essentials.
