Green is generally a calming colour, associated with plants and nature. It is a popular colour choice in kitchens and bathrooms, so in this blog we will look at some green tiles ideas for interior design projects.
Green in Home Decor
Greens can give a feeling of balance and security, as well as a gently uplifting feeling of energy and connection with nature and the Earth. Of course, there are many shades of green and paler greens can seem cooler and bring light to a small or dark room. Darker greens can in fact make a room feel warmer and cosier and these shades work particularly well in a period home or in a vintage home decor style.
Green Tiles Ideas
Some of the green tiles weu2019ll look at have flower designs, while other have fruit or herb designs. Fruit tiles and herb tiles look great in a kitchen, especially for those who enjoy gardening, home-grown produce and home cooking.
Green Tiles with Single Flowers
This rose design is based on an antique botanical illustration and works well in a period home or with vintage decor.

One way to add a splash of green to break up an otherwise plain wall is to place a few green tiles here and there - such as the herb tiles in this example
Green Tiles - Check Patterns
An example of how a check pattern looks using the pale green and pink roses patterned tile. The white tiles break up the pattern and make the wall seem less busy, while the patterned tiles add colour and detail.

An alternative way of creating a check pattern - use plain coloured tiles and alternate with single design tiles such as the fruit tiles here.
Plain Green Tiles
The plain tiles shown here can be used together with our decorative tiles to create scatter, check and patchwork patterns.
