The rule of thumb when planning to lay pergo flooring is that you want the planks to lay parallel to the light source of the room. Since you have 3 large windows and a sliding glass door on the north side of the home, you will want to lay the planks from North to South.

If you were to place them perpendicular to the light source, all of the edge seams would be enhanced by the light and the floor installation would not look good.

The only tough area of the installation will be the hallway because you are going to have to cut alot of pieces. Typically in a hallway you will want to lay the planks parallel to the long wall. This makes for an easy install and typically there is no exterior light source in a hallway. Since you want it to look like one continuous floor they will have to be perpendicular to the wall in the hallway.

Feel free to post any follow-up questions you may have.
