Most hardwood flooring stores sell "T" shaped molding that installs between the last board and the tiles. This spans the gap between the two different flooring types. Works best when the tile and the hardwood is at the same height. If the hardwood is much higher there is reducers as well. Check sites like www.lumberliquidators.com they sell all mentioned molding in various wood species to match your flooring.

Can you do hardwood floors and tile floors in same home?

Yes. I have done it. First have the hardwood floor installed. After the hardwood floor is installed have the tile installer install the tile. The reason for this is that the hardwood is very firm and has little room for adjustment. An excellent tile installer can adjust the height of the tile to be flush and level with the hardwood floor with little or no seem. When its done it looks beautiful.
