If it's that wood/ceramic I've seen at Menards (Midwest area) I really like the looks of it.
I'm not an expert by any means but I guess the bedrooms should be different from the living room/hallway, probably something more contrasting than the same material in a different color if that's what you are saying.
Either way whatever threshold you use should help separate it.
Sometimes I'll buy enough to get an idea how it will look (at least 2-3sq ft), take a few pictures and return them. When you get something home and see it under different lighting etc. it can make the decision for you.
