We understand that committing to colour can seem daunting. A way to incorporate green without dominating your entire scheme is by opting for a green vanity. It allows the bulk of your space to remain neutral but draws in interest with a fresh focal point. Additionally, since it is a slight design decision, a green vanity bathroom frees up the possibilities for your fixture and accessory finishes.

Positively pastel, mint green is an excellent tone to lighten your bathroom with colour. It’s an invigorating and enthusiastic variation that coordinates excellently with white and neutral tones — making it effortless for those looking to experiment with green modestly. For a safe fixture option, try brushed nickel or white. But to give the eye some contrast, matte black would work cohesively with a mint green bathroom too.

The sage green bathroom has been countless homeowners’ most popular design choice. But why? It’s an earthy green that also dips into a neutrally-toned territory, making it incredibly versatile and easy to apply. It still possesses a calming atmosphere, which is ideal for a bathroom environment. We have seen brushed brass and brushed copper fixtures work seamlessly in this design, while matte black is best for those looking for a contemporary edge.

An olive green bathroom is a warmer rendition of sage. It’s the earthiest colour selection on the list and is equally suited for light and dark schemes, making it effortlessly versatile. Brushed nickel or brushed gunmetal would be an impactful fixture finish that doesn’t overwhelm the eyes, while brushed brass would emphasise warm undertones found in olive.

Moody, foresty, and comforting — dark green bathrooms are a statement in the home. It’s a tone that envelops you with a deep calm and can work as a refreshing contrast for a light space. Alternatively, as it’s a darker colour, using brushed brass, brushed copper, or brushed nickel could be a complementary touch to brighten up the bathroom.

The classic appeal of marble meets the tranquillity of green to elicit a powerful stone look. Green gives an energising edge to marble’s grandiosity and can give your space a unique feel. The good part about stone is that there’s variety in the level of colour you want to inject into your bathroom. A marble with more white and less green will brighten, whereas the opposite will create a deluxe, mysterious atmosphere. With that said, we’ve chosen brushed brass or brushed nickel as the ideal pairing to suit both choices.

Contemporary and eccentric, a green terrazzo bathroom is an exciting option for those who want a stone without the esteem of marble. Terrazzo is a fun way to introduce patterns into a space, and again, you can choose either a light or dark variation of green. As it’s quite eye-catching, it would be best to choose fixtures along the monochrome scale.

A pink and green bathroom is a territory that not many dare to tackle. But for the colourfully bold renovator, this may be the scheme you’re looking for. Try a baby pink and a soothing sage for a pastel wonderland or an emerald green for depth. We’ve seen brushed brass fixtures work nicely in this design, or alternatively, adopt matte black or brushed nickel to stay on the safer side.

Bold geometric shapes and luxurious details characterise the art deco style. Green is commonly featured throughout art deco, and the bathroom is no different. For those that adore a vintage style and aren’t afraid to try something different, this could be an interesting avenue for your design. As art deco preferences opulence, brushed brass and brushed copper would work excellently in this style.
