Do you have to refinish all flooring if refinishing one room?

We're remodelling our kitchen and adding in a new island so will need to get some flooring work done in the kitchen. The kitchen floors will be sanded and refinished (red oak floors, natural matte finish). The rest of the downstairs floors were refinished (with the same finish) recently before we bought the house. The flooring person advised us to refinish all the downstairs flooring to have an exact match with height and look, but it's really expensive and not something we really want to do as the flooring was only just refinished.


The kitchen is a separate room but does flow into the living room and hall (it's not open plan though). Do you think the difference in the flooring wil be so obvious as to need refinishing? Has anyone else refinished the flooring of just one room? Thank you in advance!
