I did a quick Houzz search (love that for the "how things look" type questions) and although I didn't find exactly what you were asking, the search for "hardwood to tile transitions" did turn up several examples of hardwood to tile.

I personally tend to think you need to make sure that there is enough of a contrast to make it look like you intended for it to be different. Things that are too close just look like they don't match.

The one thing that I always think about is not only what the colors and patterns look like, but also the height of the transition. Tile usually comes out around 3/4" while some engineered and/or bamboo type flooring is only about 5/8" or so. So you have to figure out how you will do the elevation transition too and what that will look like.

This one looks interesting

We thought our transition in our last house was nice and I loved the tile floors in the Dining room and kitchen.
