Direction Of Your Long Tiles/laminate Floor/parquet?

Hi,

I am thinking of laying those long woodlook ceremic tiles in my bedrooms.

Example

Now I am thinking of how to lay the tiles such that they will be the most visually appealing, eg the direction the tiles should run.

Here is an example of my floorplan

Should I lay the tiles like the picture above, same direction for all the bedrooms? In the above example is all running up to down based on floorplan.

If i do this, then when i am looking into master bedroom and study from the dining, the tiles will orientate left to right. Then when i look into bedroom 2 and bedroom 3 from living, the tiles orientate up/down.

Is this the way that long tiles/laminate floor/parquet are laid, all same direction?

I got both layouts in my hse. I find that it if I stand at the door look into the room, the wood run left to right is nicer than up and down. Run up and down seems to see more joints.

If can't decide then u do diagonal lor. Waste a lot of tile, but.. best of both worlds.

Hi, thanks, I think I will do it your way and do left to right according to door.
