ᐅ Kitchen Planning New Build Transition Tiles to Hardwood Flooring

jspawn1Hello,
I am currently working on the kitchen design for our new build. It is actually quite a small kitchen (2m by 3m (6.6ft by 9.8ft)). Floor tiles will be installed in the kitchen area. The kitchen walls will not be tiled; instead, kitchen splashbacks will be installed there. In the living area, hardwood flooring will be laid. At first, we were thinking of a simple U-shaped kitchen layout like in this picture, so that the kitchen and living room would be clearly separated.
Now we are wondering if it would be possible to extend the kitchen with a small seating area, similar to this:
This would create more options and space in the kitchen. The problem is that the kitchen floor would then consist of two different materials.
My question to you: Is the second plan advisable? What should be considered when transitioning between tiles and hardwood flooring? How about the risk of mold forming at the transition? Should the kitchen splashback also continue into the living room where the seating area meets the balcony wall?
I would really appreciate it if you could share your opinions on both layouts.
Many thanks!

Our peninsula is partially on hardwood flooring and partially on tiles. Why should there be any mold?
We continued the wall cladding throughout. We preferred it that way. In our case, there would be 60 cm (24 inches) of cladding between the doors and 40 cm (16 inches) of plaster.

Does the kitchen backsplash have to continue into the living room?Why would it have to? Some kitchens don’t have a backsplash at all. A backsplash mainly serves as a splash guard. If there’s no risk of splashing, a backsplash isn’t necessary. It’s really a matter of personal preference whether to have one or not. I would also use the same flooring throughout to create a more spacious feel.jspawn1 schrieb:
