how can you find Right direction lay your
hardwood flooring ?
Everyone agrees that hardwood flooring is
universally gorgeous. But not everyone agrees on
the direction that hardwood flooring should be
laid. As with every update you make to your home,
it is important to take a step back and consider
your options. Vertical, horizontal, herringbone,
diagonal - you have a number of choices for how
your floor is laid as well as other factors to
consider.
The most common way to lay hardwood flooring is
by aligning the planks parallel to the longest
wall. Apart from a few exceptions like sagging
joists, this is the preferred direction to lay
wood floors because it aesthetically provides the
best result. But there are other options. With
every choice you will want to consider not only
each individual room but also your entire floor
plan so that your flooring looks cohesive as you
move from room to room.

Light Source

• One of the factors to consider when you are
  installing new hardwood flooring is your light
  source. If your room has a great deal of natural
  light, you may want to consider running the
  boards in the direction of the light. Because if
  your planks are run perpendicular to the light
  source, the light will run across each individual
  joint and any slight variation in the height of
  the boards will show up and cast a small shadow.
  Running your wood planks in the same direction as
  the light source eliminates this problem and
  results in a better looking floor.

Straight/Vertical

• Typically, hardwood floors are laid in a straight
  pattern. To achieve this look, planks are
  installed parallel to each other along the length
  of your room. Classic and stylish, this pattern
  is tried and true, and works with virtually any
  design aesthetic. A straight pattern can also
  lengthen the look of a room. In most homes, if
  you run a straight pattern lengthwise from your
  front door all the way to the back it will make
  your hallway appear longer as opposed to a
  horizontal pattern running across which may end
  up looking like a ladder. 

5
Horizontal/Side to Side

• If your room is more narrow, you might opt to run
  your flooring horizontally making the space
  appear larger than it really is. Installing your
  flooring horizontally will draw the eye from side
  to side, creating a greater perception of space.

6
Herringbone

• In the traditional herringbone pattern, wood
  planks are laid in a diagonal zigzag pattern.
  Herringbone is one of those classic looks that
  will never go out of style and makes a statement
  in just about any space. There are a couple of
  things to consider with this option. Due to the
  complexity of the design, you will want to make
  sure that your installer is experienced in
  creating this type of pattern. You will also want
  to remember that due to the way that the pattern
  is precisely cut there will be some additional
  waste which will increase your cost slightly.

Diagonal

• Diagonal floors add interest to a room without
  taking a huge leap from straight flooring.
  Installing hardwood on a diagonal can have a
  tremendous visual impact on the rooms look,
  making the space feel larger and longer.

Pattern

• There are an endless number of flooring
  designs that can be achieved by laying the wood
  planks in repeated geometric patterns. A pattern
  can be a simple offset or can be a more
  complicated parquet floor pattern with the
  appearance of a checkerboard or other design
  modules. Although a pattern requires careful
  planning, it can be a wow-worthy feature in your
  home.

Random Width

• Random pattern installations involve a mixture of
  boards that are different widths, although they
  are actually a straight-forward parallel design.
  This hardwood flooring pattern enables you to
  choose the ratio of wide and narrow boards,
  resulting in a uniquely customized look. This
  pattern works will when your goal is to achieve a
  more rustic feel.
