We are getting new floors put in next week and cannot decide on how to treat the hallway. We live in a L-shaped house with the living areas and kitchen on one half and the bedrooms and hallway on the other half. If I treat the living room and the hallway as the long run and main direction of the flooring, then I will end up with the floors running perpendicular to the direction of the galley kitchen. If I treat the front living area and the kitchen as the long run then the floors in the hallway will be perpendicular to the walls. The hallway is narrow enough to where I feel like it could visually make the hallway feel squatty. The bedrooms are square enough to where I really don't think it would matter which way they run. Below is the current floor plan for reference. The wife wants the front brick tile taken out which is creating the issue since I no longer have a break in the flooring and would have a natural transition to have two different flooring directions. Thoughts?
