    Hi. I'm thinking of having kardean down in the living room through to hall without transition. How do I set it out?

    Whichever way you think will look best.

    I’ve got one coming up and it’s probably going to be central to the front door as that will work well for this house. That said it will be the clients final approval on the day.

    Depends what you want it to look the squarest and straightest from
    Personally if your hall is the smaller narrower area I’d go straight in the hall.
    Find something square and Mark out, lay tiles dry off your mark stand back see how it looks as you walk into your hall….
    Then measure through door into lounge from the tile and strike a line see how it falls in your lounge.
    If you want it straight in lounge do the same but in reverse starting in lounge.
    Personally I always get the hall straight as can be to the eye and go into ajoining rooms.
    If there a million miles out make a feature in the door of some sort with stripping and tiles and split the rooms

    Haha, steady you'll give away bible secrets!!

    I had my laser for ages and didn't realise how quicker it is when dealing with wonky walls.
    Beats marking out with chalk all the time.

    4m & 2m straight edges I find best. Centre the hallway and twist in living room. Door way if needed to square up the living room.

    I've got 2 lasers, but still mainly use straight edges, more out of habit than preference
