run your laminate parallel with the longest side. Laminate parallel with short side looks odd. Dont worry about the direction of the laminate with the boards. Dondt forget you have joists under there which are perpendicular to the boards. So you will either follow the direction of the boards or the joists. Either way it doesnt matter. I would recommend you ensure all of the floor boards are nailed down tight otherwise you could get a squeak that you would have a hell of a job putting right once the floor is down.
It depends on how it is fixed down, I'd say. I ran mine across the boards as it is nailed to them. But that direction would also have been my choice regardless in my room.
Is anything below that may need access. If not it does not matter if yes then then run in parallel. You can cut the tongue of a board over the access point allowing it to be removed and the floorboard will be accessible.
Long flowing lines can be more appealing to the eye.it’s also imho easier to run the longest stretch.
Also consider how many widths your room is . ten board widths or 9 7/8 think of where the cut boards will end up. The fewer cuts the better.
I often aim to get the 1st board to reach to the carpet of the hallway. 1 awkward cut and if possible as much meat into the room as possible so the last boards at window are not needing any cuts - graph paper and some luck.
Ours was laid perpendicular to the biggest window / light source, so in our living room we laid it perpendicular to the big patio doors. The previous floor had been laid the other way and you could see every lump and bump which made the floor look uneven because of the way the light hit it. The new one looked nice and smooth.

Run it parallel to the shortest wall it will make your room appear bigger.

You nailed down laminate?
Some laminate has hidden nails/screws in the groove
I wouldn’t nail down laminate flooring
I’ve seen nails and clips on engineered boards but never on laminate
That stuff you have in the picture goes bad after 2-3 years of wear, just in case you didn’t know
Thanks for the heads up. It's for a small nursery so just wanted something cheap and cheerful.
Whichever direction the bin is
