From Travertine Beds, to Bedroom Floor – Inspirational Use of Stone in the Home

Another quick case study here, this time from our friends at Taylor’s Etc. with a stunning design utilizing natural, unfilled, tumbled travertine in a bedroom setting.  The bedroom has an open-plan design and so there was a desire to have a continuous, uninterrupted floor running from the en-suite, through the rest of the room.

The soft tones of the natural travertine lend themselves well to a bedroom environment. The client liked the natural look and feel and so specifically requested that the stone remain ‘unfilled’ after installation, this simply means that the natural, characteristic holes and pits in the surface of the stone were not to be filled with grout. Although the floor has been sealed with a good quality, water based sealer.

To allay any concerns about the floor being cold under foot, under-tile heating was installed throughout the en-suite and the bedroom (both areas can be independently controlled via their own thermostats). The finished result, as you can see is exquisite with the travertine playing an important role in the overall design. The client, as you might imagine, was delighted.
