English term or phrase: travertine and Berber carpet
travertine is a material for a floor or a mantelpiece. light in colour. (probably an onyx or sort of marble.)

Berbercarpet in english seems to differ from a berbermatta in swedish. The english soort seems like an ordinary wall to wall carpet to me. (It is kind of "fluffy" on top.) What is it in swedish?
