You can't get it right no matter what you do since no room is square so you do the best you can... here's a few tips...

* If room is a basic square / rectangle - find the center point at each end and connect them using your chalk line then measure off this line to set your first row. * If one side much longer than the other (hall attached to living room) use the long wall * If there is one feature that you must get right (top of stair case, base of fireplace) then go with that. BTW: I carry three chalk lines to get it right, one red, one blue and one with no chalk.

Use the plain line to measure, then when you have it right, use the red or blue. Then use the other one to re do it if the first one is a bit off.

Can you do hardwood floors and tile floors in same home?

Yes. I have done it. First have the hardwood floor installed. After the hardwood floor is installed have the tile installer install the tile. The reason for this is that the hardwood is very firm and has little room for adjustment. An excellent tile installer can adjust the height of the tile to be flush and level with the hardwood floor with little or no seem. When its done it looks beautiful.
