    Recommended grout/space for travertine wall tiles??

    Hi, I've got a whole bathroom to tile floor to ceiling with travertine 60x40 tiles. Just wondering if anyone can recommend a good grout spacing to use to look good? Thinking of maybe 1mm or 2mm spacers but are a bit undecided what would look good. Any help or advice would be great thanks.
