TRAVERTINE CORNER SHELF IDEAS YOU MAY NOT HAVE THOUGHT OF

Fitting a travertine corner shelf in the shower is so simple that you might want to fit two so you can make a feature of the opposing corners. Using your pair of travertine corner shelf shower inclusions to make a secondary feature is something that is both subtle and underrated. Think about how you can do it, and the color you want to use, and you’ll start to find you have plenty more ideas. 

Going for something that is bright and vivid like an orange or pink stone could be one way to go about it. Alternatively, you could opt for a richly varying red that gives you something to smile about as you reconnect to the more classic colors that we all know and love. Ideal when you want to be able to craft interiors that are to make you smile for many more years to come. 

TRAVERTINE CORNER SHELF INSTALLATION TIPS 

Installing a travertine corner shower shelf, whether it be in a deep taupe or a neutral white, is all about investing in the preparation. You want to make sure that the underlying wall or tile surface you’ll be mounting the shelf to is stable, firm and dry. These three things will make sure the shelf is level, stays put and adheres properly to the mounting surface. Preparation really does make a world of difference. 

Taking your time and marking out where you want to place the shelf will help ensure it is level and firmly in position. Think of it as the finishing touch you want to take your time over, as opposed to a step you simply have to race through so you can see your new-look shower. This little change of mindset will allow you to make short work of your latest DIY job so you can enjoy the flawless results. 

HOW TO INSTALL TRAVERTINE CORNER SHELF?

Wipe the mounting surface and then leave to dry naturally for 24 hours to ensure no moisture remains that could change the way the epoxy of mortar dries. Once ready, apply firm and uniform pressure perpendicular to the wall, taking care to remove excess. 

CAN YOU INSTALL TRAVERTINE CORNER SHELF IN THE SHOWER?

Yes, this is a quick and easy job that can be taken on by anyone with modest DIY experience. Patience and a little bit of preparation is all that is required to install a shelf that is firmly affixed and flawlessly level. 

HOW DO YOU CUT A TRAVERTINE CORNER SHELF?

Due to the thickness of the typical corner shelf this is best done with a water-cooled saw. If you don’t have access to one, any skilled local tiler will be able to take care of it for you in no time at all.
