Default Floating floor in odd shaped house

Hi All,

Lets see if I can explain this to make sense. My fiance and I are installing floating floors in the entire living area of our house. We've installed them before, but not to such a large area. When walking down the hallway the rooms go to the left and right. We'd like to have them going down the length of the hallway, but my dilemma is that if we start in any room, we'd eventually come to the hallway and then we'd have to go in a different direction up a room. How would we go about this. Where do we start? ? I've attached a general plan of the house, hope it works.

thanks in advance.

Barbara

that layout could go eather way, but the answer is either north/south or east/west.

unless you use a t-mold at the start of the hallway and change direction.
not a good look imo.
