We sloped the threshold of the door out into the adjoining hall.
Ditto with the threshold of the door from the dining room out into the kitchen.
There is a noticeable tongue of parquet at the bottom of each door when you examine it from outside the room but, to be honest, because it's a neatly finished slope of nice-looking parquet and those doors are mostly left open anyway, no-one really notices.

We had a similar thing in a previous house with tiles from the conservatory being higher then the dining room (careless builder I suspect), the threshold was a planed piece of timber slightly wider than the door with an upwards slope, probably handmade rather than bought in B&Q but if you have a timberyard supplier nearby (we have
) then its the sort of thing that they could knock up in ten minutes, or I could do it and take all day and end up with a pile of firewood.
