Kitchen is open to living area. Kitchen has tile already and living room has carpet. We want replace carpet wit hardwood if it look right, or should we just tile it all. Entry way from frony door is tile then living room begins with carpet then kitchen begins with tile.
The tile must end at some normal spot as a cut off point. If the carpet and tile had flowed from one to the other, then wood will flow just as well.. The same would work for continuing tile since you ll have a different tile or a shade match problem it your able to get the exact same tile flowing from one to another.. Any questions you can e mail me through my avatar.. GL
I have read several of the answers to your question and I would like to offer the following: Take a piece of the tile to the store with you and look at the contrast or compliment. Look at the thickness of the tile compared to the hardwood. try to get the closet thickness so you do not have a large drop between the floors.Any one can offer decorator ideas but in the end you must like what you see. When you find something you like,buy a box or carton to look at in the area you will use it in and assemble the flooring to get a good idea of how it will look. this way you will either love or hate it but you won't make a mistake.
do the hardwood with the tile
The floor joists dictate how the hardwood flooring can be installed. I have built almost 100 houses, and it cannot be done any other way.
