Green tile is soothing, refreshing, and full of natural inspiration. If your kitchen or bathroom is calling for a bit of green, a tile backsplash might be the perfect place to put this peaceful shade in play.
To give you a glimpse into what a green tile backsplash might look like in your home, we’ve rounded up 50 of our most inspiring installations.
Green Tile Kitchen Backsplashes
In this minimalist kitchen, it only takes a drop of green pigment in the stacked square tiles to give the backsplash a fresh look that pairs beautifully with the warm wood cabinets. This look comes courtesy of our budget-friendly Essentials Collection, and ships in 5 days or less.
If you fall in love with a darker green glaze, show it off on larger shapes like our specialty Large Star & Cross. With this stunning combination, your backsplash will instantly draw the eye, especially in an open floor plan.

Variations in color found naturally in handmade tile give a backsplash distinct one-of-a-kind detailing, as you can see rippling across the Picket backsplash below (learn more about color variation here). Always be sure to sample your chosen colors and observe them in the space you'll install them in a variety of lighting conditions.

We love the way our soothing green Rosemary glaze complements the natural wood grain cabinets of this modern Scandi kitchen, effortlessly marrying old-world coziness with contemporary elegance.

A barely saturated green looks great on brick as well. The glossy glaze dresses up the rough brick while still revealing its textured character. Paired with dark cabinets the color leans grey.

The same brick paired with light cabinets lets the green tones lead. Notice the excellent craftsmanship on the mitered corners of the range hood.

One last look at this green brick glaze shows that if you can't decide to go lighter or darker with the cabinets, you can always match your paint and tile thanks to this particular shade's easy-on-the-eyes versatility.
Sticking with a similar shade but applied to a very different material, green glass tile gives off a glowing, contemporary vibe with its smooth surface and precise lines.

Placing green tile in an otherwise white setting allows your backsplash to be the center of attention. Our soft Sea Glass glaze adds just the right accent to this bright, modern kitchen.

Conversely, pair a green tile backsplash with rich colors and accents for a look that's undeniably luxurious. This historic theater bar took this idea to the next level with two coordinating tile shapes in our opulent matte Hunter Green glaze.

A Scandinavian kitchen will appreciate a touch of green to bring color to the minimalist neutral tones applied to the walls, floors and fixtures.
Elevate your kitchen like the contemporary space below with our interlocking Chaine Homme Tile in a soothing green hue.

Fully embrace your favorite shade of green by installing a counter-to-ceiling backsplash—bonus points if you paint your cabinets the same color.

Green brick fuels this midcentury kitchen's earthy, organic attitude, balancing showroom-like design with the coziness of home.
Brick: San Gabriel | Design: Jessica Davis | Image: Emily Followill Photography
Green goes with so many design styles, like the 2022 Real Simple Home that gives this Florida kitchen a fresh coastal feeling without coming across as a nautical cliché.

If you have darker cabinets a saturated green backsplash will complement them nicely, creating an atmosphere that's both traditional and timeless.
If you're partial to midcentury modern design, we have a range of greens that will work beautifully in your space including several chartreuses. The retro kitchen below features our beloved Palm Tree glaze, a vivid yellow-green that makes a flora-forward statement in any space.
Another midcentury kitchen with a totally different look, the space below features a petite square mosaic tile backsplash of olive Sap Green Satin from our budget-friendly Natural Press product line.
For a luxe look, extend your green backsplash beyond the backsplash to cover all your kitchen walls. The soothing space below seamlessly incorporates an arched entryway on the fully tiled wall.

We love the way the contrasting white grout makes the color of this modern backsplash pop with little else around to distract from its design.
White grout is always a good choice with green tile regardless of your kitchen's design. The cottage kitchen below boasts a glossy deep green backsplash, but the white grout keeps the space from feeling too dark.

Green is a natural choice for any farmhouse kitchen. Set among cream-colored neutrals, this glossy green backsplash completes the bucolic design.

A splash of muted green is an excellent accent in a new traditional kitchen where neutrals call for a pop of color that complements, not competes.
Tile: 3x9 Rosemary | Design: Next Stage Design | Image: Scott DuBose

A similar sinuous shape with a completely different result, the serpentine Paseo tile in warm green Spruce Gloss is an immediate eye-catcher.

Blurring the lines of where a backsplash ends and wall tile begins, this farmhouse kitchen goes maximalist with walls fully clad in gorgeous green star and cross tile.
This basement kitchen had the same full coverage idea but with a classic green subway tile in a clean stacked pattern.
Tile: 2x8 Rosemary | Design + Image: Pinch Plate Party
If you can't decide between a matching grout or a contrasting grout, a middle-of-the-road neutral might be what you're looking for, like this matte green backsplash with grey grout. Learn more about choosing the right color grout for your tile here.

But we can't help but love the monochromatic look of matte green tile and matching green grout like these two beauties below. The first goes all-in, even matching cabinet paint.
Tile: 2x8 Hunter Green | Design: Camp Kuch | Image: Haley Ritcher
The second opts for natural blonde wood cabinets to break up the color.

Moving in a more decorative direction, green can combine with other colors as well, especially neutrals. This backsplash plays with shades of green and neutrals in a unique pattern that matches the landscape through the window.

Green-themed handpainted tile will add even more wow factor to your backsplash. These graphic tiles of ginkgo leaves are a fitting motif.

More traditional, these geometric tiles are a callback to Old California and create an intricate pattern on this impressive backsplash.
The soothing Plein Aire motif from our Handpainted Block Shop x Fireclay Tile Collection fits beautifully into organic modern spaces like the kitchen below.

Green Tile Bathroom Backsplash
In the bathroom, the principles of a kitchen backsplash hold true, although the bathroom generally offers more areas for tile. It's always a good idea to extend your bathroom backsplash to your shower and/or wainscot—the lush space below demonstrates both.
Tile: 2x8 Sea Green, 1x6 Pozzo Trim | Design: Megan Noelle Low Design | Image: Melati Citrawireja
If you'd like to feel energized as you start your day, choose a vibrant green tile for your bathroom. The space below went all in with our fresh Limon glaze applied floor to ceiling.
Tile: 3x3 Limon | Design: Anthony Roxas Architects | Image: Margaret Austin Photography | Installer: Woznak Construction
Another floor-to-ceiling installation in a more tranquil colorway, the bathroom below invites you to sit back and soak it all in from the tiled tub.
Tile: 4x4 Rosemary | Design: Amber Lestrange | Image: Cary Mosier
This airy bathroom features brick floors in a shade of green we've seen on backsplashes above that complement the soft green ceramic tile backsplash without being overly matchy.
We're seeing more and more color-drenched bathrooms and we have to say—we get it! When you find a color you like, as the bathroom below did with our Eucalyptus glaze, spreading the love throughout the room makes perfect sense.
Let the pattern set the scene with a bathroom backsplash that emulates green waves on the sea.

This contemporary open-concept bathroom uses a saturated green to anchor the airy vanity area.
