Our hallway is fairly narrow, about 5 feet max. The Front door opens
onto one part, about 4 feet to the foot of the stairs straight ahead,
the hallway continues to the left of the stairs about another 10 feet,
again max width here about 3 feet. As well as the front door there are
five other doors opening off.
My question is - what direction should the laminate be laid? Joints at
right angles to front door i.e. across shortest dimension of hall or
joints running away from front door?

I fitted some recently. In fact I am laying it in my other sons bedroom come
this Friday/ Sat (and Sunday knowing my pace).
It recommends that you lay the flooring long ways up in front of you as you
look into the room from the door, running away from you as you describe it.
With 5 doors leading off it, obviously not all will be in line with the
flooring. I would go for maximum affect and go for the view you get when
entering the house.
