One of the most significant interior design trends, travertine stone is featured throughout many homes, and interior design projects. It has been used to craft some of the world’s most acclaimed architectural buildings including the Trevi Fountain and the Roman Colosseum. Travertine provides a timeless, refined aesthetic and creates a serene and tranquil ambiance. The soft, neutral tones of travertine are extremely easy to work with and incorporate into your design with other colour palettes and textures. Travertine decor pieces are an easy way to make a striking statement. We’ve created a guide below to help you understand how to bring travertine into your home.
As one of the world’s most acclaimed stones, travertine has been used throughout architecture and design for centuries, the same way metallic brass, such as gold and copper, is prominent in design. Pairing both materials and finishes together creates ultimate luxury. Our brushed gold and aged bronze brassware works beautifully with the neutral tone of travertine. The two materials also contrast together. Travertine offers a matte, tactile texture whereas brassware brings radiance into a space.
Travertine is often seen as a symbol of tranquility, and is a renowned material used within spas and wellness retreats where neutral colours and natural textures are prominent. Travertine displays muted, soft tones such as amber, white, cream and beige which sit beautifully against other neutral tones. Perfect for a minimalist interior, or Scandi and Japandi aesthetic that embrace natural textures and soft colours. Style a travertine basin or bath against microcement walls, or contrasted with boucle materials and braided rugs.
As travertine stone is a striking material, it doesn’t require much styling. Allow the material to be the focal point of your bathroom by styling it with minimal accessories. Add a basin tap, in a black, gold or chrome finish, to your travertine sink. As well as a soap dispenser to the wall. Finished with a statement mirror to create a luxury touch. If you’re styling a travertine bath, complement it with a floorstanding bath tap for added elegance. Contrast textures by layering with plush Egyptian cotton towels.
Travertine is a natural stone that complements a remarkable number of interior design styles. A favourable choice in neutral palettes, travertine is renowned for its organic texture so style your bathroom around this.
