English green is a dark, layered, old-house look built on one deep green plus brass and warm light. The three versions here take it in different directions. The first goes full traditional: green damask wallpaper, glossy subway tile and a big mahogany cabinet lit by candles. The second keeps the same green mood but strips it back to painted walls, mosaic tile and a floating vanity. The third splits the difference with Edwardian tile and a washstand. One layers on furniture and pattern; one stays light on its feet; one plays it straight period, which matters more than it looks in a small room.

Questions

Which of the three versions suits a small bathroom?
The classic one. Its floating vanity keeps the floor visible and the mosaic tile is calmer than damask wallpaper, so the room reads its real size. The Edwardian washstand is the middle option. The traditional version, with its full mahogany cabinet and busy paper, is built for a larger, taller room.
Does dark green make a bathroom feel smaller?
It makes it feel enclosed, which is not the same as smaller if you use it well. Deep green plus good warm light reads cocooning; deep green plus poor light and a bulky cabinet reads cramped. Light and furniture decide it more than the colour does.
Wallpaper or paint for the green?
Paint is the safer bet in a bathroom and it is what the classic version uses. Damask wallpaper like the traditional version gives you more depth, but keep it to the dry walls, away from the bath, and only in a well-ventilated room. Paint goes anywhere and survives steam better.
Brass or chrome with green?
Brass, in both versions, and it is not a coincidence. Warm metal is what makes green read as English rather than clinical; chrome cools the whole thing into a generic modern bathroom. If your fittings are staying chrome, green will fight you a little.
