I removed the carpet in a room and now I am installing wood-like ceramic tile. There is existing 12" by 12" ceramic tile in the hallway. Both tiles are the same level. The wood-like is light brown and the existing ceramic in the hallway is beige. Should I put a transition strip between them in the doorway or just join both tiles at the doorway where the carpet used to end?

it's easier to get get acceptable results with a transition. they can help hide seasonal expansion/contraction issues as well.– dandavisCommented Jan 25, 2021 at 16:38

There is no right or wrong answer to this as it depends on personal preference.
If it were me I would strongly consider not using a transition strip, to remove an additional element which would require extra work to install and maintain. A simple grout joint between the two tile types would probably be fine.

Totally agree. My only suggestion would be to make sure the corners of the tiles butting up against each other are sanded smooth.– JACKCommented Jan 24, 2021 at 18:28
