This Windowless Bathroom Uses Two Shades of Green Tile to Break Up the Shower
Without a window to bring color into the room, this bathroom uses tile, wood, and terrazzo to divide a long, narrow footprint. Two shades of green mark separate parts of the shower, while acacia fronts the vanity and a speckled floor runs from the entrance to the shower curb.
Reddit user u/mrjohanvds shared the remodel, which replaced the bathtub with a walk-in shower and changed the former gray-and-white bathroom into a space built around green tile, acacia wood, black fixtures, and open storage.
Gray Tile and a Bathtub Filled the Original Bathroom
White wall tile covered much of the room, with a narrow green-gray stripe running around the walls. A gray tiled floor continued beneath a white vanity with pale inset doors and a worn gray counter.
The bathtub occupied the far end, with a glass screen mounted along its edge. A large wall mirror, recessed cabinet, open shelving, and the long vanity filled most of the remaining wall space.
Vanity and Wall Storage Left a Narrow Route Beside the Tub
From the bathtub end, the original layout shows how the vanity projected into the passage. The sink sat near the tub, while a tall blank panel and open shelves occupied the opposite end of the room.
The remodel kept the long footprint but changed how each wall was used, including the tub wall, vanity area, and storage at the far end.
Terrazzo Flooring Runs Through the New Bathroom
White terrazzo-style flooring with black flecks replaced the large gray floor tiles. Since the bathroom has no window, u/mrjohanvds said the lighter floor was chosen to help keep the room from becoming too dark.
A wood vanity now sits against the right wall, while built-in white shelves fill the far end. A green curtain can close off the storage area and repeats the green used across the shower and sink wall.
Two Green Tile Shades Divide the Shower
Instead of covering the shower in one tile, the remodel uses two green tones. Pale gray-green herringbone tile covers the wall behind the black shower system, while a deeper green herringbone pattern covers the adjoining wall.
Black trim outlines the niches and glass panel, matching the rain head, hand shower, controls, and wall-mounted accessories. The shift in tile color separates the two shower planes without adding another material.
Acacia Wood Replaced the Painted Vanity
Acacia wood fronts and a matching top give the sink wall a strong contrast against the white walls and speckled floor. The vanity uses rounded recessed details across the cabinet doors and drawers rather than knobs or pulls.
A rectangular stone-look vessel sink sits on top with a black faucet behind it. Above, a wood-framed mirror and narrow wood ledge extend the same material across the wall, while two round sconces flank the mirror.
Green Tile Continues Beyond the Shower
The darker green herringbone tile does not stop inside the shower. It continues behind the sink as a backsplash, connecting the vanity wall with the green shower wall across the room.
A fixed glass panel keeps the shower open to view, so both tile shades remain visible from the entrance. The black shower frame, faucet, towel hooks, and curtain rod repeat the same dark finish across separate parts of the bathroom.
Would you use two shades of the same tile color in one shower?
