Hello,
I have a 2 m (6 ft 7 in) wide and 4 m (13 ft 1 in) long home office. Can I install a 2.20 m (7 ft 3 in) long click-lock rustic plank flooring, cut down to 2 m (6 ft 7 in), by laying the boards end to end with no stagger, so running the length of the room? Would this be unstable or look unattractive? The flooring would be installed perpendicular/parallel to the window.

Could you please show the floor plan of the room with the adjacent hallway?I don’t have a floor plan at the moment, but I drew one online, see attachment. I measured the room again, and it is not 2 meters wide, but 2.74 meters (9 feet)! Sorry! So I will have to install with staggered joints anyway. However, it is still good to know that it is technically and visually no problem to lay the floor without staggered joints if the plank covers the entire room width. There is a small intermediate hallway leading to the main hallway.
On the right side, either just the small hallway or the entire hallway... only the small hallway with a 40cm (15.7 inches) offset in the study.
Alternatively, I would probably try to always work with the leftover pieces... I’m not exactly sure what is common practice there.
So 220cm (86.6 inches) and 54cm (21.3 inches), then the next row 166cm (65.4 inches) and 108cm (42.5 inches), and so on. You would have to draw it out precisely.

Or I would probably try to work with the leftover pieces... not exactly sure what is usually done there.
So 220 and 54 cm (87 and 21 inches), then the next strip 166 and 108 cm (65 and 43 inches), etc. Would need to sketch it out precisely.Wow, thanks. What software did you use for that? Or was it just a simple drawing program? However, I have a wide, raised wooden baseboard between the rooms, which I don’t think I can just remove, or at least I would prefer to keep it. The house was built in 1967.
I mean the entire hallway, not just the small section.

I use CorelDRAW for things like this. And I’m not an expert in flooring installation. Maybe try changing the direction of the boards and basically start right after the threshold. How wide are the boards, and is the room properly square or not?Thank you. Yes, I will have to lay everything out in person once I have the boards. The room is properly square.
