Hello Juan Ramirez ,

Without seeing photos I may be overly optimistic - why can't you cut a square or rectangle out of the carpet, pull up the padding, add a schluter strip/transtion strip/tile stop from Home Depot and throw a couple of tiles down over some quick-krete - also from Home Depot? Maybe its a hundred bucks worth of stuff & you keep the carpet?

If you want to do the whole floor in the bedroom / vanity - laminate would be less expensive than engineered wood. Of course - they call everything, 'engineered wood flooring,' nowadays.... A real engineered wood floor would be fine - that means when you look at the flooring sample from the side you will clearly see (2) woods glued together - they expand/contract @ different rates making them less likely to get water damage and other science stuff. It'll also be THICK.

Hope that helps a little,

-frank

Could you post a picture.

Thanks for the responses. The issue is that there is a long closet that runs perpendicular to the vanity. So if we placed tile in front of the vanity it would actually run into the middle of the closet (visually splitting it in two). It would look rather ridiculous actually. So there isn’t anywhere to make the division because the closet runs all the way into the bedroom area.

I would not put two different wood floors next to each other, no. So are you saying the existing hardwood floorping runs up to the bedroom door?

It's a master bath. Use a luxury vinyl plank and do the bedroom and closet and bath. All of it. Or even repeat the hardwood you have and run it into the wet area. It IS done, and believe it or not with the most reasonable care is a non issue. Usually getting no "wetter" than the splashes that occur at a kitchen sink. Wipe it up promptly. Just as you would in the kitchen.

I didn't get a chance to take a picture before leaving this morning so I am pasting this diagram I made in Excel. The issue, as we see it, with using tile and carpet is that the tile would run into the closet (e.g., column J4 - J14). We'd have the same issue if we used tile in columns I and J). The transition would cut into the closet.

Now we know it's possible to use two flooring materials. We just can't find a way where it won't look odd given the configuration of the room.

Also, I should note that there is nothing different about the areas in columns G and H (with the lines) from the rest of the bed room area. The area with the toilet and shower is enclosed and has tile. Sorry, my diagram was just a little sloppy.

With no dimensions, its impossible to advise even on the excel sketch. If a tight budget? Live with the angle! Carpet to tile transitions are common, even angled. Otherwise? A more extensive remodel perhaps , with a better master bath , assuming a budget allows.

The concept such as you have is fairly a dated one. Be careful you don't spend money to "lipstick the pig" : ) especially if your stay isn't quite a long while.An accurate drawing as is.......will get you better advice. But a fuller remodel MAY be your best long term value
