Green has consistently been on the list of top design trends for a few years. It provides a pop of color that can rejuvenate a space and give it a whole new feel, with just a simple change.
There are many ways to incorporate green into your bathroom, from tile to showers to paint, the list goes on! In this blog, we want to inspire you with seven ways to incorporate this beautiful color into your home.
The Effects of Green in Bathroom Design
Before we discuss design ideas, we want to share a few interesting benefits of adding green to interior spaces.
Scientists have been studying the effects of colors on human emotions and behaviors since the 1970s. Multiple studies have examined the benefits of the color green, which has been shown to positively affect participants’ self-reported mood and mental activation, calm heart rates, and assist with relaxation.
A study done by Walid Briki and Lina Majed evaluated the effects of seeing the colors green, red, and white while walking or running. The study indicated that “walking in a green environment induced a significant reduction in heart rate values compared to the red and white conditions”. If we translate these findings to your home, green features could inspire a sense of calm and relaxation in the spaces you need it most.
To incorporate green into your space, consider using green tile for the floor, a kitchen backsplash, or as an accent wall in the shower. Green quartz countertops also offer a bold and stylish option. For a more subtle touch, accessories like bath mats, plants, or artwork can add a refreshing pop of green and bring natural vibrancy to the room.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are you interested in a bathroom remodel but need more information? No worries. Here are some answers to frequently asked questions about incorporating green into your bathroom.
What color goes with a sage green bathroom?
Sage green complements a wide range of materials, including most metals, paint colors, and tile finishes. It pairs beautifully with both light and dark wood tones, offering versatility in design. For added contrast, consider incorporating accent colors such as pink, blue, or terracotta. Neutral tones like cream, gray, white, tan, and brown also work seamlessly with sage green, making it an ideal choice for a balanced and cohesive color palette.
What color goes with green bathroom tile?
Green tile pairs beautifully with a wide range of colors, making it a versatile choice for any space. Metallic accents such as gold, rose gold, copper, and brass enhance its richness and warmth. Neutrals like white, cream, brown, and black help green tile stand out, while other green tones can create a harmonious, layered look. For a more dynamic design, consider pairing green tile with warm hues like pink, red, rose, or yellow—these tones add contrast and visual interest. Alternatively, blue shades can complement green to evoke a serene, ocean-inspired atmosphere.
Can you hang tile over green board?
Green board is a type of drywall that resists moisture and humidity, making it great for bathrooms. Depending on the area, you can install tile over green board; however, in wet areas like bathrooms, we recommend installing cement board or tile backer board for the tile to last and prevent moisture damage.
Can you hang tile on Sheetrock in a bathroom?
Sheetrock is a specific drywall brand commonly used in home construction. Its popularity has grown over the years to become synonymous with the word “drywall.” However, not all drywall is made equally. While Sheetrock is great for non-moist areas, it is not the best material for bathrooms in comparison to green or purple boards, which are made to be moisture-resistant.
