Dark Green: Bold and Moody


 

Dark greens offer a statement of luxury and drama to your bathrooms whilst also creating a relaxing personal sanctuary.

 

Our recommended combinations

 

Tiles: Consider dark green tiles of forest, racing and jade shades for your walls. 

Use these small tiles across the entire bathroom or create shower feature walls or backsplashes.

 

 

Paired with marble effect floor tiles, this palette is the ultimate vision of luxury and beauty.

Green stripes


 

Create playful designs with stripes, whether of green and white or green and colours.  Perfect for smaller bathrooms and cloakrooms to create a hub of character and intrigue. Consider incorporating stripes as backsplashes or create a focal point in your shower cubicles.

 

Opt for striped tiles or create your own stripes using the same small format tile in different colours.

 


Soft sage


 

Shades of soft and sage greens are the ideal way of adding calming colour to your bathroom but in a more minimalist approach. Sage green offers an elegant, timeless and spa-like feel to your home. These tones are ideal for those larger bathrooms, where you don’t want to feel overwhelmed by colour or texture.

 

 

Our recommended combinations

 

Tiles:

Consider pairing your sage green tiles with neutral tones of cream, beige and terracotta.

 

Tile Expert Mark Cooper adds ‘Sage green wall tiles paired with terracotta floors or other neutral shades, creates a calming, timeless and minimal feel in your bathroom. A perfect design for relaxation.’

Furniture:

Only want small doses of colour? Add sage green bathroom furniture to your space to add pops of colour to your neutral bathrooms.

 

 


Green furniture


 

You can incorporate green into your bathrooms with more than just tiles, green furniture is a great way of adding colour and character to your space. For smaller bathrooms, this is a great idea for those who don’t want to overwhelm the space and simply want to incorporate minimal colourful additions. Mix and match a green tall bathroom column unit with a wood effect vanity unit to create a contrast or have a complete green bathroom furniture collection to create a cohesive, seamless space.
