Default Travertine Wall Tiles

Looking for some advice here .
We are just about to fit out a new en suite some 32 sqr meters ( walls ) shower / bath /
The walls are all block / rendered built 6 months ago ..... a bit slow in getting this bit sorted
We already have Brazilian slate tile floor - laid in a utility area's.
Like the idea of stone / looking at travertine .........
1/ is it a good choice of a stone for shower / etc - or should we perhaps think about marble ? - or another stone ? slate is to dark.
2/ Should we go for polished or tumbled
What's your advice

As long as your shower / wet area is suitably water proofed then the rest really is down to your personal choice, you may get a bit of inspiration here ....
Many more stones available than you would think, some at a price though ! :thumbsup:

Look forward to seeing them, don't you love it when you get something a bit different to work with apart from the run of the mill ceramics ?

Travertine is popular for showers etc.......
