FORUM Travertine Collection

FORUM is ArtePierre’s travertine collection, curated around warm natural stone, soft movement, and grounded texture. Travertine has a way of making a space feel established and inviting: relaxed on walls, comfortable underfoot, and timeless across classic, Mediterranean, transitional, and modern interiors.

Use travertine field tile for floors, walls, fireplaces, and larger surfaces, and choose travertine mosaics for shower floors, niches, borders, backsplashes, and detailed transitions. Shop by stone family below to keep tone, movement, and finish direction consistent across your project.

Because travertine is a natural stone, each piece can vary in pore structure, tone, banding, veining, and surface movement. These natural details are part of the material’s character. We recommend ordering samples before selecting full project quantities, especially when coordinating travertine with cabinetry, paint, countertops, grout, or other tile materials.

Design notes for travertine

  • Natural character: expect variation in pores, tone, banding, movement, and texture from piece to piece.
  • Finish matters: honed travertine reads calmer, tumbled travertine feels more rustic, and polished travertine adds more light reflection.
  • Blend before installation: mix pieces from multiple boxes to distribute tone and movement naturally.
  • Wet areas: mosaics are often preferred on shower floors because extra grout lines help with slope and traction.
  • Grout choice: warm matching grout creates a softer field, while contrast grout emphasizes the tile pattern.

Care notes for natural travertine

  • Seal travertine as recommended for natural stone, especially in kitchens, bathrooms, and wet areas.
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners and avoid acidic products that can etch or damage the surface.
  • Wipe spills promptly to help protect the surface and sealer.
  • Expect natural pores, pits, and variation as part of the stone’s character.
  • Confirm application suitability with your installer for wet areas, floors, exterior spaces, and high-use areas.
