Paving your home’s exterior, cladding your interior walls, and using premium materials for outdoor areas can significantly enhance your home’s curb appeal. While this sounds exciting, selecting the right stone for your décor, such as choosing travertine tile colours, can be challenging.With a variety of stones available, the best choice for your home depends on your personal preferences and desired décor theme. Many contractors agree that natural stones can infuse warmth into any interior, and their neutral tones and unique character make them stand out compared to man-made alternatives. One natural stone that has gained popularity among homeowners is travertine tiles.
Travertine is available in a wide range of colours and patterns, including beige, cream, white, and silver. This centuries-old natural stone can significantly enhance your home’s aesthetic appeal. Its popularity stems from its durability and resistance. Despite its slightly porous nature, travertine has a non-slip texture, making it an ideal choice for outdoor areas such as pool decks, driveways, patios, alfresco spaces, wall features, pathways, and more.
Travertine is typically not used in its raw form. Instead, it comes in various finishes, including polished, tumbled, honed, and brushed. While travertine naturally boasts warm tones, it is available in a vast array of colours such as white, grey, yellow, cream, silver, noce, brown, black, and ivory. These subtle colour variations can make your outdoor tiles truly stand out.Beyond colour, this premium stone is offered in diverse sizes and shapes. You can choose from rectangular tiles, French pattern formats, crazy paving, cobblestone, stackstone, and more.
If you prefer a glossy finish, polished travertine is your best option. However, keep in mind that polished travertine can be slippery when wet, so it’s best to avoid using it in outdoor or wet areas.
Travertine tiles feature warm and neutral tones, including pale creamy, golden, deep mocha, green, walnut honey, silver, and more. The colour of these stones depends on the organic material, so most travertine stones do not feature a single colour. Instead, they often sport a combination of warm and neutral tones. For instance, silver travertine is one of the most popular types available on the market.The colour of the stone also depends on its extraction location. Stones from the same area typically feature consistent colours, making them look great on floors, wall cladding, patio pavers, pool pavers, pathways, driveways, and other spaces.For a natural finish, we recommend choosing unfilled and tumbled travertine stones. Unlike polished travertine, tumbled stones are not glossy and are mainly installed in outdoor areas like pathways, driveways, gardens, and patios.
Here are some of the warm and neutral tones of travertine natural stone available at Stone Pavers:
Although some colours are darker than others, all travertine tiles require sealing due to their porous nature. Sealing should be redone every 3-4 years, depending on usage. Areas exposed to food and drink or around pools may need more frequent sealing.We offer two types of sealers that penetrate the stone to protect it, rather than sitting on the surface. Sealers are available in clear or enhance options, with the enhance sealer darkening the stone by up to 40%. Prices for sealers start at an affordable $60 per liter, and larger quantities are available for better value. If stored properly, sealers can last up to 24 months.
Ultimately, there’s no single best travertine colour. The stone looks wonderful in all its warm and neutral hues. The ideal colour for your space depends on the intended area, your personal preference, and your overall décor theme. If you prefer darker tones, rich brown, coffee, or chocolate travertine might be perfect. For a lighter, neutral look, walnut, pale cream, or grey travertine could be ideal.When selecting a colour, consider your existing outdoor design and how the travertine will complement it. If you’re still undecided, consulting with a professional architect, landscaper, or stone supplier can provide valuable guidance.
