Soft and serene or bright and bejeweled, blue and green are the new go-to hues in contemporary interior design. Their exceptional versatility, along with their ability to pair with a wide range of colors, has earned them a reputation as the new neutrals. With a spectrum of shades and designs available, these nature-inspired colors can be incorporated into virtually any style. Read on for 20 of our favorite blue and green tile ideas to enliven your kitchen backsplash or wall.

1. Delight With English Cottage Patterns

The delicate, whimsical floral motifs of the Laura Ashley Wexbord tiles—shown here in Midnight (left) and Fresh Green (right)—embody the cozy charm of English country cottage style. Inspired by historic textile designs from the iconic British company, these tiles create spaces that are bright, playful and as soothing as a sip of Earl Grey.

If this cheerful style is your cup of tea, explore our exclusive Laura Ashley designer collection.

2. Make Waves

The curved edges of the Wave Blue Reef tile (also available in Grey Owl, Old Cream and White) create a gentle sense of movement along this kitchen backsplash. A versatile tile that can be installed in a variety of layouts to achieve a personalized look, the offset pattern shown here creates a pillowy design that juxtaposes beautifully with the dark navy coloring.

3. Pick a Parisian Pattern

The wonder of the City of Light comes alive on this stylish kitchen backsplash featuring Alison Victoria French Connection Saint Germain tile (also available in Montmartre [blue] and Le Marais [beige]). Inspired by the famous scrollwork found throughout Paris, this chic dark green pattern adds sophistication to the kitchen wall. We love how the antique faucet and glassware contribute to the storied feel, but this tile would also be an excellent choice for a kitchen floor.

4. Embrace Authenticity With Handcrafted Tile

Zellige tile is popular for its authentic, artisanal qualities. Crafted, painted and glazed by hand using ancient techniques, each tile is completely unique, creating natural tonal variation on your kitchen wall or backsplash. These traditional Moroccan tiles are available in a range of sizes, shapes and colors, including Azul (dark blue), Turquoise, Shamrock (bright green) and Dirty Blue, shown here in a petite subway.

Create an architectural showcase for your decorative tile by installing it within a recessed arch. This stunning kitchen features Fired Earth Designs Botanica patterned tile in an arched niche behind the sink. The lush design creates an artistic focal point to enjoy as you go about your kitchen chores. The handmade-look Fired Earth Homespun Subway White tile keeps the surrounding wall neutral, though it would also look stunning paired with a complementary green subway tile.

7. Distinguish Your Stove Backsplash

A beautiful patterned tile behind your stove makes culinary tasks more pleasant while creating definition between your prep and cooking areas. Here, the Kelli Fontana Inlay Proper Dutch tile distinguishes the stove backsplash from the counter backsplash clad in Tribeca Gypsum White tile. The ornate blue-on-white pattern might feel overwhelming if used throughout the space, but between the cooktop and range hood, it adds visual interest to the white kitchen.

If you love this whimsical, bold and classic style, explore our exclusive Kelli Fontana designer collection.

8. Make It Minty Fresh

So soft and serene it can serve as a neutral that pairs with virtually any hue, the Signature Mint Gloss tile is available in a range of shapes, styles and sizes, allowing you to create custom designs.

St. James Wandle River tile (also available in Ferringdon Grey and Pure Cloud) features an intricate floral pattern fit for a king. The organic movement of the motif perfectly complements the white cabinets in this elegant stove backsplash.

The mudroom is more than just a place to store your shoes; it’s often the first room you enter when coming home after a long day. Make it as welcoming as it is practical with these stylish, durable and easy-to-clean tile ideas.

1. Up Your Game with a Stone Checkerboard

The checkerboard pattern is creating champion spaces throughout contemporary homes. We love how Timber Trails elevates this fashionable design with alternating squares of Noir and Silver Mist limestone tile. The natural veining in the stone tiles adds lovely movement–notice how the tiles are thoughtfully installed to alternate the direction of the veins.

3. Add Visual Texture with a Cement Look

Cement is a staple of industrial design, but this transitional mudroom–designed by West Bay Homes–proves that this urban look can also feel warm and inviting. The Sofia Charcoal cement-look porcelain tile* features rich shade variation that adds visual texture to the space. Paired with the taupe-painted cupboards, this simple tile brings an unexpected touch of sophistication.

4. Add a Neutral Pattern

Maintain a neutral palette without sacrificing style with a patterned tile in grey, brown or beige. Here, the Britannia Soho tile* incorporates all three colors in an ornate design. The floor tile perfectly complements the dark grey walls, creating a contemporary mix of warm and cool neutrals.

5. Go Geometric

The diagonal lines of the Rango Taupe matte hexagon tile bring a playful sense of movement to any space. This tile can be installed in a variety of ways, depending on your desired design, but we love how @eosinteriordesign created a starburst pattern on this mudroom floor. The warm color adds depth to the white room, but you can achieve a similar look in black and white with the Rango Blanco tile.

6. Choose Stone for a Sophisticated Space

Dark and earthy, Noir limestone tile offers the unique variations inherent to stone, while its black and brown tones will hide the appearance of dirt. We love how Julie Howard of Timber Trails installed this subway tile in a brick-lay pattern to evoke a cobblestone pathway.

Shop limestone tile to bring this natural look into your home.

7. Embrace a Black and White Pattern

A simple black-and-white tile is the perfect complement to a range of design styles. Keep it neutral or pair it with color and pattern, like in this bright and bold space designed by @magnolialakbuild. The Cloth Black and White floor tile features a textile-inspired check pattern that holds its own against striking dark green details and floral wallpaper.

8. Add Movement with Herringbone

Classic and chic, a herringbone pattern infuses any space with an elegant sense of movement. You can create this pattern using virtually any rectangular tile: a large format tile will make your space feel more expansive, while a herringbone mosaic or subway tile–like the Jerica Cenzia floor tile shown here–adds visual interest.

Find your local Tile Shop showroom.

9. Fill Your Space with Color and Pattern

If your home is bright and colorful, your mudroom should match the mood. This vibrant space, designed by Zig & Co., embraces the more-is-more ethos of dopamine decor. The Laura Ashley Mr Jones Midnight tile is paired with bold wallpaper, a green door and blue cupboards. The key to this design is a simplified color palette; all the elements are unified in shades of blue and green. Discover more ideas to fill your home with unending cheer in our guide to dopamine decor.

10. Create a Contemporary Classic with Hexagon Tile

This classic six-sided shape is enjoying a contemporary design resurgence. Surprisingly versatile, hexagon tile comes in a wide variety of sizes, colors and styles. Mix and match two or more same-sized hexagons to create a custom pattern or use a single tile to create a monochromatic look–like this chic Spicy Salty Sweet Home-designed mudroom featuring the Silver Hex tile.

From vibrant cobalt to dreamy sky, blue is a versatile hue that is having a much-deserved moment in interior design. Blue can rejuvenate your space and brighten your mood — the perfect shade for the place where you often start and end a busy day. Here are twelve of our favorite bathroom tile ideas that will have you singing the praises of blue.

1. Pick Painterly Patterns

Taking its palette from the ocean that inspires her original watercolors, the Laura Park Seaside Marble wall tile mimics the veining of natural stone while coordinating with the vivid hues of the Cosmo Aegean Blue floor tile. The abstract pattern is derived from the famed designer’s artwork and her signature textiles. Paired with handmade-look Bespoke White—featuring a unique layout of tile 5″ squares and 2.56″ x 5″ rectangles on the upper wall—this artistic bathroom offers layers of visual texture within a beautifully cohesive color scheme.

Discover more painterly palettes and patterns in our exclusive Laura Park designer collection.

2. Showcase a Marvelous Mosaic

A unique shape evokes gentle waves washing ashore on the California beach that serves as the namesake for the Alison Victoria Malibu Edit Pointe Dume tile. The deep blue marble features elegant white veining that enlivens this opulent sink backsplash. Rich and refined, this singular tile is the true jewel of any space—whether in this oceanic hue or its two other exquisite colorways: Matador (green) and Pescador (white).

3. Add Artisanal Appeal

The stunning, undulating tones of the Cool Blue tile–displayed on the accent wall of this sleek, contemporary bathroom–create a beautiful, water-like effect. This chic handmade-look tile offers the perfectly imperfect aesthetic of authentic artisan tile, but with the added benefits of easy installation and a budget-friendly price tag thanks to its 12″ x 24″ format and pre-scored grout lines.

4. Celebrate Beautiful Abstraction

Show off your artistic side with the Big Sur by Jeffrey Alan Marks in Off the Hook tile (also available in blue-green Sea Spray). The abstract, glossy blue patterns are overlaid on a cream-colored matte base, beautifully resembling glazed pottery. With six distinct tile faces, you can create a custom design that’s unique to your space.

5. Punctuate Your Design With Trim

Essential for finishing raw edges and creating graceful transitions between surfaces, trim is also a powerful design tool. Running it between your field tiles is an excellent way to accent your layout—as seen in this elegant bathroom featuring Morris & Co. Hawkdale Pure Chalk handmade-look tile punctuated with Signature Slate Blue gloss pencil trim. These thin bands of blue separate rows of vertical, offset subway tile, adding rich visual texture while tonally complementing the Morris & Co. Pure Net Cloud Grey floor tile.

Discover more historic patterns from the iconic British designer in our exclusive Morris & Co. collection.

6. Fancy It Up With a Floral Flourish

Delicate and feminine, the Kelli Fontana Inlay Proper Dutch tile features an intricate blue floral pattern set against a crisp white background. Creating a lacework design across the floor and extending up the accent wall, the motif fills this spacious bathroom with ornate elegance that brings a classical sensibility to the contemporary space.

If you love this classic, bold and whimsical aesthetic, shop our exclusive Kelli Fontana collection.

7. Infuse the Room With Soothing Summer Style

The Jeffrey Alan Marks Summerland Miramar tile (also available in light-grey Ricon and dark-grey Toro) captures everything we love about laid-back, seaside summers. The blue-and-white patterned tile is designed to resemble faded linen embroidery and pairs perfectly with neutral accents and soft shades, such as the Tribeca Gypsum White tile.

8. Add a Touch of Whimsy

A cross between Jane Austen’s drawing room and your grandma’s living room, English country cottage style captures the whimsy, elegance and coziness of the British countryside. In this charming bathroom, the Laura Ashley Sunflower Charcoal With Cloud Blue tile dots the floor with a captivating, geometric floral pattern. Inspired by the iconic British brand’s classic textile designs, the Laura Ashley collection exemplifies this fanciful style with playful patterns in cheery color palettes.

The blue-on-white oceanic pattern radiates a sunny, seaside serenity. We love how it’s paired here with crisp white wainscoting and sink vanity, though this tile would look equally stunning alongside blue fixtures.
