Living/Dining room split flooring type?

Hi
Our new house will have a living room/dining room all in one. The front part is the living room (with fireplace) then it widens at the back to about 5.5metres (room is 23 foot long - sorry for mixture of metric/imperial), so I am thinking it will be hard to get a carpet, even though there is hall/stairs so possibly not too wasteful. I am thinking though that I don't want my dining table on a carpet, and that maybe I could split the room where it widens and put something down to divide it (a silver strip thing), and have it in laminate at the back (patio doors to garden too = mucky carpet).
Any ideas if this is possible, and how it might look?

Anyone? Hoping someone can help.0

Its certainly possible and would look fine as long as it was well done. Obviously the join should be done at the point where the room widens.0

our current living room/dining room has this arrangement. Parkay flooring for dining room & carpet for living room. we think it really 'marks' what each space is.0

Yes, that's what I thought, do it at the point where it widens so that it defines the space too.
Meggles, was yours DIY or was it the floor fitters that did it? Is it a plain metal strip?0
