Are you like a million other customers trying to decide between Natural Stone (travertine, marble, slate) versus Ceramic/Porcelain Tile for your home? I have customers who come into the store everyday who are utterly confused about how to decide between the two. I figured I would share what I tell them.
The single most important thing to know is that Natural Stone requires you to seal the product every few years whereas Ceramic and Porcelain Tiles require no maintenance at all.
Travertine has a very natural look, there will be variation in the stone, the stone is porous, but absolutely beautiful. If you like variation on your floor and a rustic look appeals to you then Travertine is your stone! However, if you like consistency in your floor, and really want everything to be unformed all the way through then Ceramic/Porcelain Tile might be what you need.
Another reason individuals choose Ceramic/Porcelain Tile is because it requires little to no maintenance. These tiles don't stain as easily, and generally are a bit cheaper than Travertine Tiles.
Here are some pictures of Travertine in various parts of the house, look at the variation in the stone! I, personally, love Travertine because of the natural color variations that the stone has.
