Hi there,
Just planning a layout in a dining room which has three entrance doors. I have marked out the centre lines and dry layed a number of times, finally arriving at a good spot for the key tile which means I finish against all walls with a good 1/2 to 2/3 of a tile. Unfortunately, because there are doors into the room on three sides, I have ended up with gaps as shown in the pictures at the patio doors.

Allowing for a 6mm expansion gap which I intend to silicone, any suggestions as to how to finish these (other than obviously cutting a very thin strip of tile)? I thought of using some nice hardwood, similar to the door strip I am making to step down into the kitchen.

What do you think?
