When people buy or build a house the two areas that escape the attention in most cases are kitchen and bathrooms. Yet these are the two areas of a house where people need to spend a significant amount of time. An improperly designed or decorated kitchen or bathroom mar the appeal of an otherwise nicely adorned house. Hence it is imperative to adorn the two areas of a house using top notch materials and accessories. 

Tiles are used both in kitchen and bathrooms. However there are various types of tiles. One can choose from a variety of options while buying bathroom wall tiles or kitchen floor tiles. Nowadays a lot of people use travertine in their kitchen and bathrooms. It is a natural stone which is softer than marble but harder than limestone. In most of the cases it is used indoors.

However in nations like Turkey and Italy it is also used outdoors. As a matter of fact, Travertine can be used by several residential and commercial establishments. It is available in a variety of hues. In most cases brown, white and beige stones are used. However some people also prefer hues like red and gold.

It is mined mostly in countries like Turkey, Iran, and Italy. Among them, only Iran makes red travertine. The Iranian yellow travertine is of superior texture and quality. Travertine adds warmth to a room�s interior owing to its hues and texture. It is a good idea to use filled travertine if one is making a swimming pool. Beige travertine is used for making kitchen wall tiles by people with a tight budget where as the white travertine is a choice of the elite people.
