Which direction to lay laminate flooring
I'm seeing some contradictory information regarding this issue.
I've read that the rule of thumb is to lay plank flooring perpendicular to the main light source (typically a window). However, I've also read that in certain situations it is desirable to lay it along the longest point of the room. In our case, we're doing two very small bedrooms -- each roughly 10' x 10'.5" -- with a 5' (wide) x 32" (tall) window opposite each entry door. As I envision it, it seems awkward to have the planks running from the door to toward the window, as the twin beds in each room will run along the (slightly longer) length of the room. Therefore, I "see" laying the flooring the length of the room. Does this sound acceptable? I don't want it to look dorky. Thanks for any suggestions. |
