What is a travertine wall light?

Travertine is a natural stone with a subtle, porous texture and warm, earthy tones. As it is a natural material, each piece has slightly different veining and colour, making every wall light unique. Because a wall light is positioned at eye level, you can see the natural texture of the stone up close. This also makes the lamp a decorative feature on the wall when it is switched off.

Combining travertine

Travertine is often combined with other materials. Travertine and opal white glass make a classic combination, with the stone adding warmth and the glass diffusing the light softly. Combining travertine with wood enhances the natural look, while gold or brass creates a more sophisticated feel. You’ll also find travertine wall lights with integrated LED or an adjustable spotlight.

Which interior styles suit travertine?

Travertine works particularly well with natural materials and calm, neutral tones. It suits Japandi and wabi-sabi interiors, where simplicity and natural forms are central, but also works well in modern and rustic interiors. Beside the bed, in the hallway or along a staircase, a travertine wall light adds warmth and a natural touch.

Which bulb do you need?

Most travertine wall lights are fitted with G9 or E27 bulb fittings. Models with adjustable spotlights often use GU10 bulbs. Some lamps have integrated LED or come with a bulb included. For a warm, natural feel, choose warm white light of around 2700K. The bulb fitting and size you need are listed in the specifications for each wall light.
