If you love color but want to maintain a calming feel, look no further than a green bathroom. From sage to olive, forest, emerald, jade, or mint, there’s a nature-inspired shade of green for every taste and style, from modern to midcentury or traditional.

Green is a versatile color that can be used anywhere from wall paint and cabinetry to shower, backsplash, or floor tile. It pairs well with brass, silver, black, or copper hardware and marries well with blues and neutrals like gray, white, black, or cream. Or you can contrast green with shades of pink, orange, or yellow for a bolder look.

Check out these green bathroom ideas in a range of styles, sizes, and shades for inspiration.

Green paint comes in a wide variety of shades, but this earthy, moody hue is giving us major inspiration. Plus, when paired with the white fixtures and subway tile, it stays light and airy.

    What is more luxurious than a soaking tub? ​A dark green soaking tub, like this one from thehousepotnoodlesbuilt. This bathroom has just enough color to give it plenty of texture and depth, but the contrasting white walls keep it light and open. While black and white will always be a classic combo, consider mixing it up and swapping out black for a dark green instead.

    This lovely bathroom pictured by beckykimball may be small, but it's big on style. We love the pairing of the dark green tiles with the lighter, fresh, beach-y wallpaper.

    Create Your Own Built-In

    Bathroom with green paint

    @claire.a.ramshaw / Instagram

    We love this bathroom from @claire.a.ramshaw, which creates the illusion of a built-in shelving unit with a single coat of paint. This rich green not only makes the whole space appear larger, but by painting the shelf the same shade as the wall, it almost blends into it and becomes invisible. 

    You may shy away from dark colors out of fear they will make small spaces feel claustrophobic, but the truth is that a deep moody color like green will actually push the walls out and give the room more depth.
