You mention bevel....Can you give a better description of what you
mean?


Convert the step to a ramp with some floor levelling compound.
They're generally cement-based but typically modified to allow
some movement without breaking up. Check at a flooring supply
place or even Home Depot.

If adding 1/4" cork to the living room leaves the kitchen 1/8" higher,
then why not put down something else like plywood that's 3/8" instead
of cork? Is cork a recommended material per the manufacturer of the
laminate?
