11 wood floor transition ideas that look stunning

When it comes to wood floor transition ideas, the possibilities are endless. There are a variety of ways to play with multiple colors, textures, and materials to separate spaces and move into different areas. 

But what are some of our favorite wood floor transition ideas? We’ve laid out 11 unique and memorable looks.

Black hexagon tiles to natural wood floor transition

We love this modern, industrial look. It’s artistic, yet simple. Muted, yet memorable.

Backsplash tile separating spaces

When you transition from one space to the other, don’t be afraid to get creative and think outside the box. 

From one wood to another wood

Just because you’re transitioning in-between spaces, doesn’t mean you have to transition materials. This wood-to-wood look is a great example. 

Wood to stone to tile

There are a million and one different ways you can play up a transition. Don’t feel weird throwing multiple textures into one space.

Geometric tiles and herringbone wood design

These geometric tiles are EVERYTHING, and it looks even more stunning next to a neutral wood tone placed in a subtle herringbone design.

Pattern transition

A simple way to transition from one room to another is to switch up the pattern — no need to switch up the material.

Fading from one floor to the next

We’re seeing this pattern more and more, and we’re absolutely obsessed with it. Instead of creating a harsh line of transition, simply fade one pattern or material into the next.

From dark to light

There’s a lot to take in with this specific wood floor transition idea. For starters, it does a really good job of transitioning from black to white to natural wood floor. Secondly, it manages to maintain the same pattern — yet look like completely different spaces.

Make a space out of any spot

When you mix up flooring colors or material, the possibilities are endless. You can mimic area rugs, symbols, carpet runners, and more.

Marble entryway rug

Here’s another great example of utilizing different materials to create a carpet-like area. This white marble transitions perfectly into light wood-look tile.

Tile pathway surrounded by natural wood

And just because we really want to drive this point home — here’s yet another example of using different material to create a carpet-like look (aka, carpet runner or pathway).
