Designing a Travertine Backsplash
A travertine backsplash can add an elegant and luxurious touch to any space. Its soft color tones and gorgeous natural beauty provide the perfect backdrop for any design. You can pair it with a design that's neutral overall, or build on it with colorful, bold elements. Either way, you'll be able to create a space that will truly amaze your guests. Here are some inspirational tips and ideas.
USING NATURAL TRAVERTINE
A real travertine backsplash becomes an immediate feature of any kitchen, bathroom, or bar area. This naturally occurring limestone-based stone is formed around mineral springs—especially hot springs. This creates neutral shades of color, which can match any design, and gorgeous natural pockets and striations.
Because the stone comes in many shapes, you can create just about any pattern. Consider going with a brick-joint, mosaic, traditional cross-cut square, or basket-weave pattern. You can also create your own tile pattern to personalize the design of your room. The versatility of travertine means you can let your imagination be your guide.
