I do have some samples of some vinyl tiles that I am considering. My other thought was that if I did it in a different color, darker, such as a walnut, and maybe even a herringbone pattern then it would be obvious that I wasn't trying to make it look like I was trying to match to my other floors and therefore could pull off the not real wood. I do have matching hardwood throughout my living room, dining room, kitchen and family room. I guess I thought being since it is an entryway that it would be acceptable to have a "fake" hardwood because people tend to be careful about real wood in their entrance due to salt, water, etc. I am disappointed that everyone concurs it won't go well, but you come to this site for honesty and I appreciate that.

I haven't picked out a color yet, but think I don't want to go really light or dark, prefer to stay similar to my family room, which is a cherry color. Has anyone done this and how does it look? I really would rather have the planks instead of the vinyl tile that would look like slate instead of hardwood floors. Tonight I stopped at a different flooring stores and was told that if I put LVP next to real hardwood that it will look fake and I won't be happy. That way it won't look like I'm trying to match these floors. I would run the planks the opposite direction of the adjoining family room and put a trim piece to separate the rooms. I have been to a few stores and also posted on the flooring forum about how this would look and all said it would look fine. The opening between the two rooms is about 6'.
