We might be biased, but the charm of stone is precious and unique. It may seem like a delicate material or suitable only for luxury environments, but natural stone is actually durable and now available in various forms and finishes accessible to everyone.

In a home, the materials that make up the environment are what most impress and characterize. Travertine can be used in various ways in your exteriors and interiors, always providing a prestigious aesthetic result regardless of how it is employed. From bathroom walls to kitchen countertops, and even pool cladding, you will be surprised at how travertine tiles can decorate your home.

It is often thought that travertine, a sedimentary rock (available in various colors and veins), is only suitable for flooring, but that is not the case.

Choosing travertine

It is important to consult a professional to evaluate which varieties of colors and veining to choose. They can provide useful application suggestions: travertine is available in small formats, such as mosaic tiles, up to large slabs for walls and ceilings.

Travertine for multiple uses

Travertine is a frost-resistant material that originates in water and is perfect for exteriors, just think of monuments like the Colosseum or the Trevi Fountain. It remains objectively beautiful even indoors, perhaps in an entrance to immediately provide a wonderful visual impact: it is a material suitable for both classic and modern homes and available in various shades.

Large and small “scale”

Large slabs for flooring are certainly impactful, but if you find choosing travertine flooring too bold, you can opt to create a “detail” in this material. A special element, to be clad with these unique tiles for shades and colors, such as your bathroom shower or your fireplace cladding.

One material, different styles

Travertine is a very ancient material, extracted in the Siena area since Etruscan times and used in many buildings and monuments worldwide. Even though it has a strong “historical” connotation, it can also be found in modern environments. It is therefore important to understand what style your home should have and choose travertine accordingly, with a polished and filled finish for a minimalist environment, chipped and lived-in for a rustic environment.

The importance of finish

The beauty of this splendid stone lies in its various colors and finishes. The finish not only has an aesthetic value but can also affect the material’s use. Travertine can be left with open pores or filled, so it is important to consult a specialist who can guide you on which type of tile and finish is preferable for your project.

Going classic

Travertine has been used in bathrooms for centuries, and its uses in this environment are endless: from floor and wall tiles to mosaics for decorating walls to shower cladding, etc. Often, even just a detail in your bathroom will transform the environment from ordinary to luxurious and transport you to a true oasis of well-being.

A touch of class outside

Travertine can decorate not only your interiors but also your outdoor spaces. If you are looking for flooring for your garden or a material to clad your pool or even for stairs, thresholds, and windowsills, travertine will retain its beauty despite the seasons and time.

Stone luxury

Travertine in its polished and large format finish immediately characterizes the environment. The veins add movement to the space, and the color shades are enhanced with neutral-toned furnishings, meticulously detailed to highlight the beauty of the natural material.

The combination of light and dark

Those who love the “particular” and want to play with materials can use travertine of different colors and cuts in the same environment or pair the lighter tones of travertine with dark wood furniture for a dramatic touch. The contrast between colors and textures will create environments designed to immediately capture attention.

Mosaics for details

Do you want to enhance a space or add a touch to a room? The solution is simple: use travertine mosaic. Available in different patterns, squares, rectangles, lozenges, the mosaic decoration will immediately give character to your wall. With natural stone, the options are practically endless, and you can redefine your home by choosing the material most suitable for your needs.
