- TRANSITION BETWEEN NATURAL STONE AND WOOD
When the transition is between stone and wood, perfect for houses with a rustic style, it is possible that, if the exterior of the home has a cobblestone floor, it extends a little beyond the main entrance to be an arrival space and welcome. The wood will receive you with warmth. This design is handy on rainy days or when you arrive with dirty shoes, as this area is perfect for leaving your boots or umbrella and then continuing to the rest of the house.
The transition is simple, where the stone floor ends, a transverse strip of PVC or wood is installed, narrow or the same width as the tiles – depending on the design -and then the sheets of the same material are established in the desired direction.
- TRANSITION BETWEEN WOODS OR LAMINATES
Curiously, the transitions are not always between different types of floors since it may be the case that the same material is used but still want to restrict areas or voids that must be covered.
Rolled in one direction
In this case, a piece of the same material as the rest of the floor can be used, placing one tile perpendicular to the others to create a subtle visual cut that usually goes unnoticed.
rolling in opposite directions
The transition can also occur when elongated pieces are installed in a different direction from one room to another, usually at 90°, although it can also go from diagonal to straight.
herringbone flooring
The transition is even necessary when a herringbone floor is designed in the rooms, which in the divisions of doors or small corridors can be challenging to install or causes more significant waste of material. There, sheets of the same material are installed but in another direction that causes a more substantial visual cut; that is, the herringbone floor sheets go diagonally while the division sheet goes straight.
Rest zone
Lastly, a less common but still existing option is to make a vast and highly noticeable transition area in which, with the help of the same laminate material, a different pattern is created from the one made in the other rooms. This option is ideal for small corridors in which a rest area is created between the rooms.
Laminate wood or LVT luxury vinyl flooring allows you to create custom patterns using the same material in different shades or textures. Among the most common finishes, you can find marble, wood, and concrete, although, in other models, you can even get a fabric or leather look.
- TRANSITION WITH EMBEDDING
This type of transition has become popular in recent years, and it looks fantastic. It is about inserting, in a daring way, one kind of floor between the other, without drawing a straight and precise line but playing with symmetry and with the invasion of spaces pleasantly and aesthetically.
This transition usually occurs between small hexagonal tiles and straight sheets. However, it is also possible to do it with tiles of other designs and textures. But, it can still be achieved using sheets of contrasting textures and colours of the exact dimensions.
Although this design is excellent and aesthetic, it is not very common since it requires a lot of detail during its installation because, when using pieces of different shapes and sizes, it is necessary to make precise and other cuts in each sheet so that it fits the perfection and the result is exquisite.
- PARTIAL TRANSITION
Instead of laying out a rug to demarcate an area, it is possible to install flooring of a different visual texture or colour (that is complementary) to highlight a specific area of a room. In this case, vinyl flooring is an excellent option since it is offered in various colours that can be combined, using the same material, texture and quality.
The idea is that the joints are subtle and go unnoticed, but this effect is achieved depending on the type of floor to be installed, since if the same material is used but with a different colour, the same installation process is maintained without inconvenience, but if you are going to combine wood with ceramic or vinyl flooring, it is necessary to use additional accessories to cover the joints.
The advantage of using vinyl flooring is that since they have the same installation method and the tile dimensions are the same, the installation process is easy, and the transition is not complex. That is why this style is so prevalent in educational institutions or the health sector, requiring vinyl floors, requiring the differentiation of spaces.
- TRIPLE TRANSITION
This is not a very common option since it involves using three different types of floors where the third floor is in charge of making the transition between the other two. The idea is that the third on the list has a decorative purpose so that it will be of a different material, colour or texture than the others, but that it complements the others and contrasts.
- CREATIVE TRANSITION
Like the critical transition, the creative transition aims to bring a touch of originality to spaces by creating designs and visual textures that capture all the attention. It is possible that when making a creative transition, two different types of materials are used or that they are of contrasting colours; you can even play with the texture of the walls or create unusual designs where the previous techniques are combined.
If you like, you can use hydraulic tiles and tiles to make these transitions, as their colours combined with light-coloured laminates make the tile designs stand out.
- WOOD AND CEMENT TRANSITION
The use of polished concrete in interiors has increased in recent years as it is coupled with an industrial and minimalist style. When considering transitions, combining cement and laminate flooring has advantages since fresh adhesive allows you to create particular shapes that will give your home a unique touch.
With the different options we have shared with you today, let your creativity flow and design the floor of your dreams. Transitions will help your space have your personality but with a touch of glamour and many styles.
