Rest of the message won't matter, you got the best information you could right there.

Yeah. With new features on my phone I recovered rest of that message. She suggested running planks the longest length of the room to make it appear larger……then listen to installers.

I would run it as the red lines indicate.

That’s how it went. On advice from installer.

I may be the odd one out, but I an "either genuine hardwood or tile only" kind of guy, and after having genuine hardwood in a kitchen, I'll never live with that again!

Regardless, for directional preference, you can go either way, whichever suits you. E-W direction makes the plank lengths consistent with your described general travel path, but I expect there is equal travel time spent walking N-S as well while working or hanging our in the kitchen area. My personal instinct is the run the planks in the same direction as the longest dimension of the room (N-S in your case, by your sketch, anyway).

The question, though, is this... what is in the LR and the Hallway now? Planks, tile, carpet, etc.? If there is a pattern direction to either or both rooms, run your kitchen planks in a direction which compliments the other adjacent floor areas.

Maybe LVP is popular here cause of high humidity. Sand gets tracked in no matter what.

I have a box and a half left over. I could either store it on top of extra leftover roofing shingles or put in the attic where temperatures are excessive and its heavy. I’d have to take it up a little at a time.

Are you happy with how the chosen direction looks?

Sliding them under the bed can be a good storage place for the leftover flooring. I'd worry about the heat in the attic having a detrimental effect on the planks.
