Marble has long been a symbol of elegance in the home, elevating kitchens, bathrooms, and decor with its smooth, polished finish. More recently, though, we’re seeing organic-looking travertine gaining popularity. This stone’s porous texture and tonal patterns make it a versatile choice for various applications throughout the home.

Travertine is a type of limestone formed by mineral-rich hot springs and boasts a rich history dating back to Roman architecture. Known for its durability and weather resistance, this stone is
perfect for both indoor and outdoor spaces. Its distinct porous texture and range of colours, from beige to deep red, make it a versatile choice for any design scheme.

With various finishes like tumbled, polished, honed, and brushed, travertine offers a multitude of design possibilities. Whether you’re looking to create a warm, inviting kitchen or a spa-like
bathroom retreat, travertine’s natural elegance adds an organic, sophisticated touch to any space.
