I don't think I have any pics of it, but Mom & Dad had the same thing in their old house when Dad installed the tile in the kitchen. He took a very simple hardwood trim piece that had a bevel to it & used it for the transition with the higher end on the tile side & the lower end of the bevel on the hardwood side. He then stained it to match. You should be able to get these at your local HD/Lowes or hardwood store. Good luck!

THis is just a summer cottage, no insulation, heat, etc. it was built by a farmer for my parents 50 + years ago. The pine floors aren’t even tongue & groove, just very irregular boards, and I have no interest whatsoever in the time or expense of refinishing them. The vinyl plank is purchased; my only question is about the type of thrasition to orde.

Do the bedroom doors come off a hallway? If you match to the best of your ability, and cover much of the hallway with a long rug, you will hardly notice the difference. Don't over-improve on the assumption that the next buyer will care that it isn't perfect. Nobody is looking at the floor with a magnifying glass. I had a tradesman who really wanted to rip out some tile in my front hallway because I was going to add to it, and the grout wouldn't be a 100% match. No, to me that's wasteful. So far (25 years) no-one has ever noticed. I think it helps that I have some attention-grabbing wall art in the area too, which is always an option for you too.

Hi, I've read and see a lot of photo's online regarding seamless floor transitions from tile to wood. My main entrance (10 sq m/ 100 sq ft.) is open connected to the living/dining room (45 sq m/ 484 sq ft) . I will have tiles in the main entrance and hardwood in the living/dining room. I want a seamless transition from the tile to wood. I don't want these transition strips, but just grout or something thin and fine between the tile and wood which would look nice. I know the tile and wood floors need to be the same height and since we have had a chance to start from the ground up, we can almost do what we want at this point to make sure it's level. What I'm most concerned about is that the living/dining room is a large area, and with the fact that the wood floor needs movement, will it make the seamless floor transition look bad in any way. i.e. Maybe we need to regrout ever few years... I'm attaching a Photoshop picture I made to kind of show what I want to accomplish. The first picture shows just the two connecting walls between the two rooms. It's a large opening. Will it be fine to do as I want and just connect the two in a seamless way considering the living/dining room is such a big area? I have a contractor who is saying it's not going to look good. Any suggestions or input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! Photoshop-ed
