Green Tiles

About

Green Tiles Buying Guide Green tiles cover sage and olive, jade and aqua, and deep forest tones. This collection holds zellige and handmade gloss tiles, subway tiles, marble-look and patterned porcelain, kit kat and penny round mosaics, and period octagon tiles with a green dot. It suits bathrooms, kitchens, laundries and powder rooms that need warmth and a link to nature. Which shade of green tile should I choose? Sage and olive are soft and close to neutral, so they suit full walls and calm rooms, as with the Sage Luca and Olive Luca handmade gloss tiles or the Tamarama Soft Sage. Jade and aqua are brighter, as in the Jade Green Leon subway and Aqua Theo subway. Antique and deeper greens, such as the Middleton Antique Green kit kat or Cottesloe Ming Green marble, give richer contrast. Are green tiles a good choice for a bathroom? Yes. Green works well with timber vanities, natural stone and brass tapware, and suits both period and modern bathrooms. Use a soft green across the walls, or keep a stronger green to a shower recess or vanity wall and pair it with a neutral floor. Period octagon tiles such as the St Kilda with green dot suit Federation and Victorian homes. Can green tiles be used on floors? Check the slip rating. The Matrix Green marble-look matte porcelain and the Meander Green and Meander Green fish scale tiles are rated P3, and the Tamarama Soft Sage is P3, which suits most bathroom floors. Handmade glazed ceramics such as the Dianna and Evelyn ranges are generally for walls. What is a kit kat or finger mosaic tile? A kit kat tile is a narrow, rounded mosaic laid in a row on a mesh sheet. The Middleton Antique Green kit kat is 12 x 92mm porcelain. It bends around curved vanities and shower niches and adds fine texture to a feature wall or splashback. What tapware and grout suit green tiles? Brushed brass, gold and bronze tones bring out the warmth in sage and olive. Chrome and brushed nickel suit jade and aqua. Matte black adds contrast to pale greens
