Hmmmm.... being a perfectionist can be a right pain at times.
I remember doing the kitchen. The walls were not true, not parallel, the corners not square, and the thought of seeing the 'planks running in at an angle did my head in.
I eventually had to run them 90° to my original plan with the planks running shortwise across the room. It looked OK, but I was never happy with it.
