So we removed the wall between our balcony (now reading corner) and the dining room and living room to make it one open space. Everything is fine except the floor.
The original tiles are marble look porcelain and they are discontinued. I searched everywhere, they cannot be found in the market anymore.
The balcony already has the exact same tiles as the salon, but its floor is around 2 cm lower because it was a balcony.
I dont have the budget to do the entire salon/dining room tiles so im between several options.
Option A: Keep the balcony part 2 cm lower with its matching tiles. On the plan this area is a reading corner so a sunken corner could actually look intentional but the dining room would feel incomplete and may have the risk of someone tripping.
Option B: Raise the area the same level and retile it with the closest match I found. It is close but a bit whiter with less veining, you can tell when they are side by side.
Option C: Raise the area to the same level and retile it to something completely different, maybe darker. But this would make the entire space feel disconnected since the space has different tiles.
Would greatly appreciate any feedback on this!

Def option C—make it look intentional. You’ll never quite match with a similar tile and it will always be irritating to look at. You also definitely want to raise the levels to match to reduce tripping. Have you considered some type of wood? That would make a really nice contrast and would be very attractive.
