Transition between dining room/living room (xpost )
Comments (0)I have been a lurker here for a very long time and have enjoyed reading about all of the decorating questions and the many different viewpoints. This is my first post asking for help... I am going to get laminate flooring for my living room and hallway. The only thing holding me up is what to do about the transition between the dining room and living room - the floor curves. What would you suggest here? How would it look to extend the laminate into the dining room as far as the cabinet in the picture. That would eliminate the curve. I don't mind the curve if there was some kind of curved transition strip but I don't know of any. There is a rubber strip there now, but I don't think it would look good with the wood laminate. Thanks for any advice. Dolores...See MoreSuggestions for flooring transition between open rooms
Comments (9)I think you could do tile and wood and have them transition nicely from one to the other. Here's some picts I found of transitions. The first one shows a nice way to transition tile from room to room by running in different directions: If you want to do it all tile, you can definitely find a tile designer to help you. Tiles don't have to be square, they can be brick, random, etc. And they can design the rooms to fit together nicely. If you really want tile in your kitchen, I'd start at the tile store and let them help you. I understand your concern. If you went to my relative's house, you'd wonder what they were thinking with their flooring. They have an open floor plan with 6'x 5' slate entryway, berber in the cove on the left, cherry in the dining area on the right, fancy embossed carpeting in the family room in front which flows into the white vinyl floor in the kitchen which meets a back hallway with ivory vinyl which meets the cherry dining area and then meets a mudroom with grey indoor/outdoor carpeting. Seven different floors in one big room! The home is only 10 years old and was designed this way. DH and I were amazed when they had five different floors and 'bout lost it when they added the cherry. The embossed carpet put us over the top. Every time we go there we're hoping there's a new floor to look at ;-) We're really not that snobby. The variety just really peaked our interest. My husband had me paged at work when he saw they had a #7. He was so excited to tell me about it. lol The link below is a wood transition, but I could see an inlaid wood design flowing nicely into tile too.

Comments (30)The floating wall! The floating wall! Yes, that is so much cooler than the picture I'm about to show you of... a 1980s time capsule. The plantation shutters do a good job, when closed, of hiding the euro-style cabinets. Even with the shutters closed, but the louvers opened, you couldn't see that charming detail, but it didn't seem so closed off and you could have a conversation through them. (there was a dining table and a small sideboard below the window) With the louvers closed, it was just neutral, but not a blank wall. Of course, these are the realtor pics so they were open. As for sink open to LR, that's just my preference. I like my kitchen more separated, especially the sink. I think I'd rather a window above the sink than completely open. But, that floating wall is wonderful....See MoreShould the angle of flooring be the same between rooms?
Comments (4)I agree with Lindsey. Consider the following: Depending if the wood flooring is a nail-down, full glue or floating hardwood, 45° installations require approx. 15-25% waste factor....See Morekculbers
