Default Transition from 2 1/4 wood flooring to 3 inch

I have 3 inch floorin gin a dinning orom and carpet in the adjoining

matches the three inch. Is there a good was to transition from one
size to another to make the size difference less apparant? The rooms
are separated by a wide "doorway" without the door.


You might think creatively about how to work the transition, just
using wood flooring. Put in a few perpendicular strips in the
transition area, maybe in a different wood, or some parquet, or
something like that to break it up visually. But keep it all at the
same level. Don't use a threshold that sticks up if you can avoid it.
Also, stick with wood - I think if you used granite or slate or
something the difference in material might make a slip/fall hazard
even if it was all level. -- H
