Tile to wood floor transition

    I really like the look of the below hexagon tile to wood floor transition.

    I was hoping to get someone to do this - but I'm wary of the fact that it really needs someone who knows what they're doing and could look really bad if not done with great care.

    Would you be better get a tiler in to do the tiles first, and then get someone in to lay the floor, or what's the best way of achieving this?

    Would getting the wood floor part correct be pretty standard work for a good floor fitter, or is it a big ask?

    Also, it looks like wood effect tiles above rather than wood floor, as there appears to be a light coloured grout in between. Is this only possible with wood effect tiles?

    Is the 'timber' really timber, there are a lot of tiles that look like this now, very smart they can be. If the 'timber' is actually a tile, could make life easier. (Closer I look the more it looks like all tile - the timber parts look they have been grouted)

    Looks like it’s all tiles so requires a tiler who is able to smartly cut tiles which should not be too difficult.

    Would be more difficult with wood as you’d need a divider between them and won’t look as good

    Yea that's not wood in the picture....it's hard on the head to be honest...if you like wood go with wood and visa versa....I wouldn't try and marry them.
