How to choose the right colour travertine for your space?

With numerous stones available, the optimal choice for your home depends on your personal preference and desired décor theme.

While many contractors agree that natural stones can infuse warmth into any interior, their neutral tones and unique character make them stand out compared to man-made alternatives.

One natural stone that has recently gained popularity among homeowners are travertine tiles.

Travertine Colours and Finishes

Travertine is typically not used in its raw form. Instead, it is available in various finishes including polished, tumbled, honed, and brushed. As a natural stone, travertine naturally boasts warm tones. However, the tile comes in a vast array of natural colours such as white, grey, yellow, cream, silver, noce, brown, black, ivory. These subtle colour variations can make your outdoor tiles truly stand out.

Another way to enhance your flooring, wall, and other space is by choosing travertine shapes and colours that make a statement.

As mentioned before, the stone is available in polished, tumbled, honed, and brushed finishes.

If you are looking for a glossy finish, then polished travertine is your best pick. Though it can resist spills and stains, polished travertine has a slippery texture.

It is highly likely to get a little slippery when wet. So, it is best to avoid it in outdoor or wet areas.

The Best Tone for Travertine Tiles

Travertine tiles feature warm and neutral tones. It comes in a range of neutral shades that include pale creamy, golden, deep mocha, green, walnut honey, silver, and more.

Since the colour of these stones depends on the organic material, most travertine stones do not feature a single colour. Only a few travertine stones are sold inconsistent colours.

A majority of the travertine stones sport a combination of some warm and neutral tones. For instance, silver travertine is the most common and popular type of natural stone available on the market.

The colour of the stone also depends on the area it is extracted from. Most stones, extracted from the same area, feature a consistent colour.

These stones look quite good on your floor, wall cladding, patio pavers, pool pavers, pathway, around swimming pool, driveway, and other exterior and interior space.

Travertine looks the best when it is installed in its natural form. So, we recommend you pick the unfilled & tumbled travertine stones if you need a natural finish.

Unlike polished travertine, the tumbled stones are not glossy or round-shaped. They are mainly installed on the pathway, driveway, garden, patio, deck, and other outdoor areas.

Here is the list of warm and neutral tones of the travertine natural stone is available at Stone Pavers:

• Although some colours are darker than others, because Travertine is a porous stone they will all require sealing. Sealing will need to be re-done every 3-4 years depending on how much the area is used. If it is a food and drink area or around a pool these areas will need to be cared for and sealed more frequently or when needed.

• We offer two sealers. Both sealers are penetrating which means they seep into the stone to protect it, instead of a surface sealer which sits on the surface of the stone.

• Sealers are available in clear or enhance. Neither will effect the texture of the stone but the enhance sealer will darkening the stone up to 40%.

• Sealers start at an affordable price of $60 per Liter, you can purchase the sealer in larger quantities for a more affordable option.
• If the sealer is stored in a cool dry place it will last up to 24 months.

Essentially, there’s no such thing as the 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 exterior or interior décor theme.

If you gravitate towards 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, landscapers or stone supplier can provide valuable guidance.
