Picking perfect green tiles
When choosing green bathroom tiles, start considering the colour you would like. There is a huge range of shades to choose from so think about your preferences, from soft mint to deep forest. Different tones can conjure up a variety of feelings, however green bathroom tiles will always help to convey a sense of calm. After all, this room should enable you to relax and unwind, away from your busy, daily life.
Green bathroom tiles: style options
Once you have picked the right colour tile for your bathroom design, check out all of the collections according to the style you require to see which one will suit you. This can come down to personal preference and why not consider trends with longevity in mind? Patterned tiles tend to be a favourite if you're looking for statement flooring, whereas metro tiles can add a classic touch to a bathroom, for example.

Choosing green tile shapes and sizes
There are a whole host of tile shapes to choose from - rectangular, square, hexagonal, scallop and so on - so you can add your own personal touch to your project. When it comes to tile size, whether this is for floors or walls, you can pick options which will suit the size of your room and will work with any awkward walls, such as those you may find in a period property.
Picking durable tile materials
For floors, you'll need durable tiles, which can withstand heavy traffic with good anti-slip ratings. You can check these details first with your tile expert. For both floors and walls, you'll be looking for a collection, which not only looks stunning but is versatile, too - think tiles which will last, from moisture-prevention through to general wear. Porcelain, glass, ceramic and mosaic tiles make great options.
How to find your tile finish
When you're choosing green bathroom tiles, don't forget to consider the best finish. A gloss tile could be ideal for adding more natural light to a smaller room and these tend to be easier to clean. If you prefer a contemporary finish, a matt tile will bring a sophisticated look. Matt also works well if you want to hide water spots with an extra level of safety on a wet floor.

Our expert ideas for a green bathroom tile design
It's fair to say that you can instantly make a statement with the right green tile. So, if you're unsure how to make your green bathroom design work, follow some of our ideas to make a statement in your home:
Nature-inspired bathing sanctuary
If this style appeals to you, why not pick soft, pastel greens? Sage and mint tiles with natural wood or wood-effect accents (think bathroom furniture) will instantly add a natural touch. This spa-style look produces a calming effect and choose from a mixture of matt and high-gloss finishes for more depth to your design. Complete the look with plenty of greenery in your favourite planters.
Create drama with dark green bathroom tiles
A collection of deep green tiles, such as emerald or forest hues, will instantly add a dramatic effect to a luxury bathroom. Whether you choose a tile to create a feature wall, or perhaps use these on floors and walls, you can brighten the look with gold accents for your fixtures and fittings, from taps to must-have accessories. Or why not contrast the look with chic, white tiles for more impact?

Feature wall tile ideas
Patterned green tiles can make perfect feature walls and statement floors. Geometric designs are popular if you want a striking finish - simply complete the look with a neutral colour palette elsewhere, from sanitaryware to towels. Also, consider using them to frame a bath, shower area or sink for greater definition.

Creating patterns with different shades
Add an extra dimension to your bathroom with different shades of green on your tiles. This monochromatic tile colour palette adds more layering to your design, whether you choose a tile with different tones of the same shade or use different tiles in varying colours to produce a unique design.
Tile practicalities for your bathroom floor
The suitability of your green tiles should take priority in your bathroom scheme. Choosing anti-slip floor tiles and durability have already been mentioned but these should be key in your decision making process for high traffic areas in your home. Underfloor heating is becoming a must in many households. After all, this is the best way to add an extra layer of warmth to a bathroom. If you want to install a heating below your floor, don't forget to consider which tile materials work with underfloor heating, such as porcelain. Simply ask our tile experts before you buy. Porcelain tiles make an excellent choice, particularly for floors.

How to create a cohesive finish with green tiles
Give your bathroom cohesion with a consistent tile style. It's all about harmonising design elements throughout the room and choosing green tiles from the walls to the floors can help to tie your look together. Green is such a good colour for bathrooms because it's renowned for its soothing properties. However, it can also balance different tones - warm and cool - which is why it can be the perfect accompaniment to natural materials, such as stone, glass and wood, and metallics. Green also signifies growth and wellness, which makes it the perfect choice for bathrooms where self-care is key.
Green tile installation & maintenance advice

You'll need to install your green tiles properly so it may be best to ask an expert tiler to do this for you. This way, you can benefit from a durable finish which will stand the test of time. You'll also want your green tiles, whether these are on a bathroom wall or floor, to be water-resistant in such a wet, humid environment.
When investing in green tiles for your bathroom, make sure you pick high-quality adhesive and grout. This is an important part of the process and these will secure your tiles in place. Keep your green tiles clean with a gentle cleaner and avoid using abrasive materials. Don't forget to check whether your tiles need to be sealed before use (porcelain tiles, for example, don't need to be sealed) and, if so, how often treatment is needed.
