Tell me about the stone

Anthill travertine is a gorgeous blend of rust-colored browns and creams. It has a natural stone effect, with a pale mottling and darker, fine veins marbling every stone. Each tile is unique, bringing its own pattern and variation of coloring. It's a great stone if you're looking to achieve that traditional, cozy home environment. Pair it with neutral, cream-colored walls, and beautiful dark wood furniture for a warm and inviting interior.

Travertine is one of the oldest building materials in circulation and has been used to create beautiful tiles for hundreds of years. It is formed in a similar way to limestone, with layers of sediment compacting over time. What makes travertine different is that a fast-moving spring must be present during the process, evoking the feeling of a truly wild, original stone. Its pattern cannot be created by design, only by the unpredictable elements of the earth.

It's a durable and hardwearing tile, with any wear and tear only adding to its natural beauty. This makes it ideal for use in almost all interior applications, from flooring in kitchens, bathrooms, and hallways, to wall tiling and fireplaces.

Tell me about the tile's finish

This Anthill travertine comes in a finely-honed finish, created by grinding the stone down until beautifully smooth and flat. The tile is not polished or buffed but instead left with a satin-effect, matte finish. It's a practical and durable surface that requires little maintenance in order to keep the stone looking its best. A honed effect ages beautifully. The stone looks more natural and weathered if anything.

It's also a finish with a certain level of traction. The tile is unlikely to feel slippery underfoot, making it ideal for use on flooring in kitchens, bathrooms and other areas of the house.

What overall look will I achieve?

Anthill Travertine creates a rustic, natural look. Its warm rusty browns are cozy and inviting, especially when incorporated into a design that complements this. Think cream cotton towels and ivory-colored scented candles in the bathroom of your dreams, ultimate bliss.

Alternatively, create hallway and kitchen floors that are highly practical and blend with almost any design. Add dark wooden cabinets and cream walls for a traditionally classic design that will never fall out of favor.
