I have picked out travertine marble tiles for the floor and bath panel of our family bathroom. Tiler came to do a cost estimate for the job y'day and said "everyone is getting those, they will date your house dreadfully in a few years' time".
I am thinking, shit - is travertine the next avocado suite?

Thoughts? And any alternative suggestions...we have a blank slate.

Travertine marble is so last season daahling.
I would go for a William Morris look.

If you hold onto your house for another 20-30 years and keep the tiles in good condition, buyers will be tempted by your 'retro' bathroom.

To the OP - yes, I think it must be.Our local swimming pool is having the changing rooms redone atm - in what looks to my uncultured eye as the same tiles MIL paid £££ for a couple of years ago!

In my snobby view, if the council are using them then they're not as recent as last season Grin
