Ideas Of Using Travertine In Small Bathroom

Choosing the material for small bathroom must be selective, especially if you deal with maintenance. Travertine is one of materials that is practical to use and clean. Travertine is a natural stone product that is sold in both tiles and slabs for use in all areas of the home. Since travertine is filled with multiple holes caused by gases escaping during its formation, the stone has a naturally rustic appearance. Travertine is available in multiple colours and finishes, including tumbled, polished and honed, which allow it to complement many areas of the bathroom design.
When you decide to use travertine in your small bathroom, you can apply it in several areas. Here are the ideas of using travertine in your small bathroom.
Travertine is an excellent material for bathroom floors. Since the surface of travertine is so often filled with holes, this natural texture helps travertine floors to be slip resistant when they are wet. Consider using travertine in a tumbled finish for a warm, soft and rustic look throughout the bathroom. Shower floors of the same material sized to 2-inches or smaller are the perfect complement. Accent the whole bathroom design by taking a small band of the floor tile and using it as an accent strip through the wall tile. Using a smaller version of the same tile will help keep the design looking fresh.
You can use travertine on the walls as well as on the floors in the bathroom design. For small bathrooms, consider using tiles of the same colour on the walls as on the floor. This will help draw the eye upward, creating a visual effect that makes the room seem larger. Use a smaller size of the same colour travertine, or change the direction of the pattern to add interest to the design. For example, use 12-inch travertine on the floor laid straight with 6-inch travertine tiles on the walls set on the diagonal. For decorative purpose, you can make accent with travertine. Pair the travertine tiles with a border of polished stone or glass tiles for a contemporary look. Then Run the border at eye level through the shower, or just below the chair rail around the entire room.
You can pair the handmade ceramic tiles, which have an uneven surface texture, with travertine. Use handmade ceramic on the walls while travertine is used on the floor for a harmonious look that brings additional colour and texture to the room. Accent the wall tile with a border of travertine mosaic to tie the two areas together and cement the design
