We are probably biased but the charm of the stone is precious and unique. It may seem a delicate material or suitable only in luxury environments but natural stone is instead resistant and today available in different shapes and finishes within everyone’s reach.

In a house, the materials that make up the environment are what strikes and characterize the most. The travertine can be used in different ways in your exterior and interior and always gives aesthetic value results regardless of how it is used. From the bathroom walls to the kitchen counter to the swimming pool cladding, you will be amazed at how travertine tiles can decorate your home.

It is often thought that travertine, a rock of sedimentary origin (available in different colors and veins), is suitable only for floors, but this is not the case.

Choose travertine
It is important to contact a professional to be able to evaluate which variety of colors and mottling to choose. The latter will be able to give you useful application suggestions: travertine is in fact available in small sizes, as in the case of mosaic tiles, up to large slabs for walls and false ceilings.

Travertine for multiple uses
Travertine is an anti-freeze material that is born in water and is perfect for exteriors, just think of monuments such as the Colosseum or the Trevi Fountain. Objectively it remains beautiful even in the interior, perhaps in an entrance to immediately give a wonderful glance: it is a material suitable for both classic and modern homes and available in different shades.

Large and small “scale”
The large paving slabs certainly have an impact but if you feel too bold to choose a travertine flooring you can opt to create a “detail” in this material. A special element, to be covered with these unique tiles for shades and colors, such as the shower in your bathroom or the coverings of your fireplace.

One material, different styles
Travertine is a very ancient material, in the Siena area, it has been mined since Etruscan times and has been used in many buildings and monuments around the world. Although it has a strong “historical” connotation, it can also be found in environments with a modern character. It is therefore important to understand what style your home should have and choose travertine accordingly, with a smooth and stuccoed finish for a minimalist, chipped, and lived-in environment for a rustic setting.

The importance of finishing
The beauty of this splendid stone is in its various colors and finishes. The finish has not only an aesthetic value but can also affect the use of the material. Travertine can in fact be left open-pore or grouted, so it is important to discuss with a specialist who can guide you on what type of tile and finish is to be preferred for your project.
