I agree with Karen. I would not use the two together. The carpet would be a better choice. I especially would avoid the gray LVP in any circumstance. I think that gray trend is already fading.

I like the cohesive look of tone-on-tone tile and the LVL you show. Have you looked at any colors of LVL or are you planning to change the tiles at some point?

Thank you melle_sacto. I have looked at other colors but because the house is small and can be a little dark, I didn't want to go with a darker flooring. I probably will never take the tile out because of the disruption to living in the house. I'd likely move and redo the floors before moving in. We didn't have that option when we moved into our current house and to be honest, I've never liked the tile floors but it is what it is. So I'm trying to make the best of it and pick something that will work well with I currently have.

We just took all the carpeting out of our bedroom as I got it in cream and now I hate it. Underneath is beautiful hardwood flooring but I feel it's too dark for the bedroom so we are going to have it lightly sanded and put on Miniwax simply white stain which will bring it to a soft tannish grey tone. I don't care if it doesn't match the hallway or the rest of the house as I want what I want. It will look beautiful in the room. I like your choice of flooring, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

I have no problem with your choice. The idea of continuity can be seen using MATERIALS or COLOUR. Your tiles are staying which means you will be working with continuity of COLOUR. Excellent. Perfect. Not a problem. The colour of the vinyl is very close to the colour of the carpet. That means you are replacing "like with like". That's an EXCELLENT way to get a change without having to deal with an entirely new colour scheme.

Things you will want to know: vinyl is LOUD. The carpet is killing a tremendous amount of noise. Vocal noise. Foot steps. Echos. Everything is being absorbed by the carpet (carpet is very good with foot steps). The vinyl will increase the noise levels in the home. Especially airborne noise from a TV in the living room that travels down the hallway and into the bedroom/den.

The other thing you want to know: vinyl will sit LOWER than the tile. Carpet (with proper pad) can sit as high as 3/4" tall. A properly installed tile can sit 3/4" tall. A vinyl plank will sit much, much lower than 3/4" (3/4" = 19mm). If you have a THICK vinyl = 8mm thick. If you choose a thin vinyl = 4mm thick.

Either way, you will be looking at a significant transition. Unlike laminate, vinyl planks do NOT allow under pad. Which means the vinyl will sit on the subfloor (concrete or plywood???).

If you need to do a floor height raise, you will need to lay sheet plywood over the ENTIRE floor.

If you work with laminate (not vinyl) you can use 12mm laminate (1/2") together with 6mm (1/4") cork underlay to achieve the 3/4" floor height raise.

Vinyl does NOT allow cork. You will be stuck with either a large step up to the tile, or you will need to lay another layer of underlayment (plywood of some sort) to get the vinyl to sit flush with the tile.

Just so you know. Other than that, I have no problem mixing visuals in your situation. The tone on tone of the tile-vinyl = a great way to get continuity.

Have fun. You are on the right track.

Thank you for your detailed response. I appreciate it. I've decided to stick with carpet and will replace what I currently have with something that is better quality and same tones.
