Bathrooms with travertine – photos and ideas

Why travertine in the bathroom

Travertín patrí posledné sezóny k najžiadanejším vzhľadom kúpeliek. Pôsobí prirodzene a teplo, a pritom nie je taký výrazný ako mramor. Prírodný travertín je pórovitý a v kúpeľni vyžaduje impregnáciu a opatrné čistenie. Preto sa dnes do kúpeliek takmer vždy vyberá gresová dlažba a obklad v travertínovom vzhľade, ktorá má rovnakú kresbu, no nenasiakavý povrch.

• Colour: from light ivory through beige to nutty brown. Light shades are suitable for smaller bathrooms, darker for the floor or one wall.
• Format: 60 × 120 cm and larger, ideally with horizontal patterns on the walls. Travertine looks most natural in large formats.
• Surface: matte or finely structured. For the shower floor, choose higher slip resistance – we have detailed this in the article Tile parameters.
• Combinations: oak wood, linen textiles, bronze, gold, or matte black fittings, and warm light.

Travertine pairs well with light walls and wooden floor tiles. If you want contrast, try darker travertine on the floor and light on the walls, or one wall in stone or concrete. We discuss travertine in detail in the article Travertine in the bathroom, and you can find a comparison with marble, wood, and concrete in the article Imitations of travertine, marble, wood, and concrete.
