Laminate Flooring
 

I have bleached oak kitchen cabinets, with a pink tint to them.

Would golden oak laminate flooring look OK, or would you go with
a bleached oak laminate to match the cupboards?

My home is 12 years old, and I know the bleached oak cabinets are
outdated, but mine are in perfect condition, so I hate to replace them.

Is there any particular direction to install the flooring, or is it a
personal preference?

Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

TIA.

Golden oak should be fine, as would most any color.

Install is usually running the longest dimension of the room.

Colors are not my thing!

The directions within the package offer instructions about running the seams
with or against the primary light source. I know it was not possible to
follow them in all of the 3 rooms I did and IMO it looks fine either way.

I would run the "planks" with the long dimension the same as the long
dimension as the room unless there was a compelling reason not to do so.

Another "guide" is to run the planks in the same direction as most folks
walk into the room.
