Travertine Coffee Tables

Travertine has been prized in architecture and design for thousands of years — the Colosseum in Rome is built from it — and a travertine coffee table brings that timeless, natural quality into the living room. Warmer and softer in tone than marble, a travertine coffee table suits modern organic, Japandi, Mediterranean and coastal interiors with equal ease. The natural pitting and veining in travertine can be left open for a raw, textural look or filled smooth for a more refined surface — both versions of the travertine coffee table read beautifully in a contemporary room. Paired with a linen sofa and a timber side table, a travertine coffee table becomes the natural centrepiece that holds the whole room together.

We stock travertine coffee tables in round, oval and rectangular shapes and in a variety of base styles including plinth, pedestal and slim metal leg designs. A round travertine coffee table softens a room and pairs well with a curved sofa or a corner configuration where sharp edges feel out of place. A rectangular travertine coffee table provides more surface area and mirrors the line of a long sofa. An oval travertine coffee table splits the difference, offering generous surface area without the hard corners. The base design changes the character of the travertine coffee table significantly — a solid plinth base reads as sculptural and architectural, while slim metal legs keep the travertine coffee table feeling light and contemporary.

The stone surface of a travertine coffee table is best allowed to do the talking. Style the travertine coffee table simply — a linen or leather tray to contain smaller objects, a single sculptural object, a low plant or a candle — and keep at least half the surface clear for everyday use. The warm, earthy tones of a travertine coffee table pair naturally with raw linen, aged leather, warm timber and olive or sage tones. It is a material that grounds a room without demanding attention, which makes a travertine coffee table one of the most versatile natural stone pieces you can choose.

Caring for a travertine coffee table is straightforward with a little consistent routine. Because travertine is a porous natural stone, it benefits from regular sealing to protect against staining — a good stone sealer applied every twelve months keeps the surface of your travertine coffee table clean and resistant to marks. Use coasters under drinks at all times, wipe spills promptly with a soft cloth, and avoid leaving acidic liquids such as citrus juice or wine on the surface, which can etch the stone. For everyday cleaning, wipe the travertine coffee table with a barely damp cloth and a pH-neutral cleaner rather than anything acidic or abrasive. Our team can recommend the right products for your travertine coffee table in store.

Natural stone reveals its true texture, warmth and weight only in person, which is why we recommend visiting one of our five showrooms — Nunawading, Springvale, Essendon DFO, Preston or Alphington — open seven days, before you commit. Because no two travertine coffee tables share exactly the same surface character, the piece you choose on the floor is the piece that comes home, a genuinely individual selection.
