Where does the LVP threshold piece go between rooms?

Hello All,


I'm trying to figure out where to place my threshold piece in the doorway between two rooms. One room has LVP and the other has carpet. I keep reading that the transition should be "Right in the middle of the door when closed so you don't see the other floor from either side of the door" That makes sense to me when not using a threshold or any kind and just butting up the carpet to the LVP. I also read that when using a threshold piece it should be right in the middle of the door so it is hidden as much as possible. However, if done this way the actual transition will be pushed into the room some.


So of these 3 options below, where is the correct location to put the transition piece?


(Left side of the door is LVP and right side is carpet)


Option #1: Having the threshold right under the door so it is hidden putting the actual transition to the right edge of the door when closed. You'll see some LVP from the carpet side of the door.



Option #2: Having the transition right under the door when closed but having the threshold shifted to the left a bit so you'll see more of it on the LVP side of the door but not on the carpet side of the door.



Option #3: Having the transition right under the left side of the door when closed meaning you'll see some carpet from the LVP side of the door.



Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.


Thank you!
