Before I lay laminate in my living room I need a little advice how to cover the gap between the room and the adjoining kitchen.
There is a 2-3 centimeter gap between the kitchen laminate and the top of the floorboards from the living room so a reducer is no good.
The door frame also has a lot of depth as it used to be an external door before the extensions were all tacked on to the back. It actually goes the length of the actual floorboards, meaning there is about a 20cm lenght of floorboard past the living room door, effectively in the kitchen but at the height of the living room.
Basically then I'm at a loss how to reduce the gap. Do I laminate right through to the edge of the floor boards and try and get a wood piece to cover? Or do I laminate to the living room door and try and get a piece of wood the right depth with a lip on the end to cover the gap (don't even know if this is possible? Or is there some better way to do it?
Room 1 is the living room. Room 2 is the kitchen.
