Green tiles for the bathroom - psychological characteristics of color
Green color is ideal for display in the bathroom. Ask why? The color green always evokes in us associations with freshness, cleanliness and comfort. This color is as close to nature as possible and evokes a feeling of comfort and relaxation. Green color is perfect for those who like to relax in the bath and calm their nerves after a busy day at work. It is believed that green color can smooth out negative emotions. The most surprising thing is that all shades of green are perfect for the bathroom, so there should be no problems choosing the most suitable one. To create a harmonious mood for the entire room, you can further dilute the background with decorative elements: inserts, borders or mosaics.
An interesting fact is that traditionally green interiors were created in order to emphasize wealth and financial well-being, without being too pretentious. The green tint is present in various precious stones: malachite, emerald and many other amazing gifts of nature. This is one of the reasons for the nobility of this wonderful color.
Combine colors with green
The bathroom is a place where several different colors and shades can be combined at the same time. In order for everything to fit harmoniously into the interior, it is necessary to take into account not only the size of the room, but also to keep everything in the same style.
Decorating a bathroom in green tones will help you not only visually increase the area of your room, but will also add coziness and freshness to your apartment or house.
There's a little trick to make your small green bathroom look bigger. If there is a need to make the room as light as possible, make three walls in the room green, but each wall should be one tone lighter than the previous one. Paint the fourth wall white or cover it with white tiles.
Great combinations of light green and bright yellow. However, such combinations will be appropriate if your room is large enough and the interior is decorated in a Mediterranean style.

Green bathroom tiles. Classic style, design ideas
For centuries, tiles were only produced in green, blue, yellow and burgundy shades, so it is not surprising that many classic tile collections are still made in green. You can use square green tiles or hog tiles. To decorate a bathroom in a classic style, small tiles (10x10 cm, 15x15 cm, 20x20 cm, 10x20 cm, 7.5x15 cm) are better suited than the now fashionable 40x80 cm or 50x110 cm. The most important thing. in any case, this is furniture in a classic style. If you can afford a free-standing clawfoot bathtub and a chandelier, consider yourself halfway done. On the floor in a green classic-style bathroom, you can safely use wood-look tiles, stone-look tiles, plain monocolors and tiles with a patchwork pattern.

As a rule, color combinations found in nature are considered harmonious. Remember where and how you most often see the color green? Leaves on trees, grass and flowers are the very first things that come to mind. Green goes well with brown (tree trunk), yellow (dandelions and shades of grass) and blue (sky). Neutral white is another great option to pair with green in your bathroom. Green and yellow, green and white are the most suitable color duos for a bright and cozy bathroom. When diluting the main green background in a calm color scheme with decors of rich shades, it is worth using them in small quantities to avoid oversaturation. There are a great variety of shades of green: from delicate salad and olive to acidic green colors. Most, however, prefer natural shades. These include herbal colors that create a relaxing atmosphere.
The gradient transition of shades of green, or dark and rich shades of green, diluted with soft and warm colors, is very beautiful. It’s not difficult to come across collections of green tiles with a “chameleon” effect. A huge variety of techniques and ways to highlight the beauty of green tiles, the choice is yours! By the way, cold shades include shades of green with an admixture of blue, and warm shades include green with an admixture of yellow, but not vice versa. It is better not to forget these moments.
Shades that can be combined
The green tone goes well with almost all colors of the palette. Let's look at the most popular combinations.
- The light marsh and bright green shade fits perfectly into the modern interior style. The main thing is not to overdo it with the use of these tones, otherwise a negative atmosphere will be visible.
- Turquoise, olive and pistachio look original in minimalist trends, as well as varieties of modern.
- The color of grass, emerald or jade will highlight the decor of a rustic bathroom.
- If the room is bright, then dark green colors are completely inappropriate. They constrict the space, making it too deep when it is not at all necessary.
- Calm tones: olive, pistachio, light khaki symbolize calm and tranquility and will never become an unnecessary accent.
All these shades will create the most interesting feeling and relax the psyche.

Decorating a bathroom in cool colors definitely affects the perception of its size. The darker and more intense the shades in the bathroom interior, the optically we reduce its surface. By applying a matte finish to your bathroom walls, you add depth. Ceramic and shiny finishes on tiles or glass mosaics will optically “bring together” the walls and narrow the space.
