fit laminate flooring
can anyone advice the best or right way to lay laminate flooring
i have attached floor layout
would it be best to go accross ways blue lines or green lines going into hallway?

generally, laminate should be laid toward the best light source.
(not across).

north south would be better too, as you have two door ways to sort out.
only the kitchen door is a small problem.
the other way, you will have two door way problems.

Towards the window (as in the green lines in the OP's post).

Our stairs comes into the lounge and the bottom step is cruved. We know we can cut a curve in the laminate but was wondering how we would fit the edging here to save a gap between the laminate and bottom of stairs?

With a curved bottom step you dont! Remove carpet from the the riser of the bottom step, fit laminate with a 5mm gap (min) then refit carpet. Carpet on these risers is often glued.

The depth of the carpet covers the gap.
