A tile floor I’m laying needs to abut carpet in a closet. What’s the best, most attractive way to transition between the two? The carpet edge is under where the bi-fold door will be and so consequently will be the tile edge.
From building boxes and fitting face frames to installing doors and drawers, these techniques could be used for lots of cabinet projects.

The termination strip at the tile with the carpet turned and tacked looks good.
A great place for Information, Comraderie, and a sucker punch.

I just did a tile to carpet transition on a wood stove hearth and used wood. Milled rough stock to the same height as tile with a 1/4" bullnose edge on the carpet side. When using wood against tile it is a good idea to use a latex caulk grout to allow for the expansion and contraction of the wood vs tile.
