Adding new hardwoods to a bedroom. Which way should I run them?

10 years ago

last modified: 10 years ago

Adding hardwoods to a bedroom and the original hickory floors are no longer available. I am putting in Acacia floors in a similar colorway. Should I run the floors in the same direction as the original hickory floors or should I turn them and run them perpendicular? Please help. Also any advice about what to do with the transition?

Having the threshold gives you the ability to go either way but I would run them the same direction as the existing floor (Picture #3).

Shouldnt you look inside the bedroom which way is more pleasing there? Instead of the hallway perspective.

I'm guessing the floor joists run the same direction as they do in the hall which is typically the opposite direction as the floor. For that reason, I'm thinking the floor should run the same as the hall.
