I never expected that there would be such a big difference between horizontal and vertical flooring

If it weren't for taking a closer look at the neighbor's decoration, I wouldn't have known that there was such a big difference between horizontal and vertical flooring! The same layout, but her house looks twice as big as mine. If you are struggling with whether to lay the floor horizontally or vertically in your home, today's article is even more important. From the perspectives of aesthetics and practicality, I would like to share some of my personal experiences and suggestions with you.

There is no standard answer to whether the floor is laid horizontally or vertically. You may have seen many cases of decoration, so have you found any commonalities? Most of them are laid according to the direction of the window and along the light!

Due to the different orientations of windows, the flooring installation method should also be tailored to local conditions. Laying along the light, visible floor joints can give the space a sense of extension.

Especially for floors with pig liver color or dark walnut wood like the one shown in the picture, they should be laid facing the light to reduce the heaviness caused by colors to a certain extent. Otherwise, the overall appearance of the house will be blurred. You can imagine the effect.

Secondly, it is to lay according to the aspect ratio of the room.

Simply put, the floor should be laid along the longer side of the rectangular living room, with the floor laid horizontally.
