Hallway
Sometimes you just have to pick a spot and run a line This transition lines up with the wall, but not the island. The white molding covering the line between the wood and the gray kitchen flooring material ties in the color of the island and feels better to me than if the molding had matched either the gray flooring or the wood.
This designer made a similar decision but reversed the materials, with wood chosen as the walkway and stone leading off into the adjoining rooms. I like that the direction of the wood runs across the hall so it doesn't look like a bowling alley. I also like that the direction of the wood and the stone tiles are perpendicular to each other.
Here stone wraps around the island to protect the floor from kitchen spills during prep work. It continues on past cabinetry and the stairway, creating a durable walkway.
