Direction of laminate flooring in a long narrow room

10 years ago

I'm putting new laminate on my main floor. The length of the living/dining room is 23', the length of the kitchen is 10' (the kitchen is where the picture was taken from). The width of the living room is 10', and there will be a full height built-in cabinet sticking out a foot on the L shaped wall. The same laminate will run throughout the whole floor, with no transition between the living room and kitchen. I've read that running the laminate width wise in a long narrow room makes it seem bigger, but my floor installer says that it should always run length wise, and towards the windows. Suggestions?
