I have a entry and living room I'm installing hardwood floors in and their is about a 9ft long single step down into the living room from the entry.I'm concerned that if I run the flooring the length of the living room which would be the same direction as the entry that their would be no visual indication of the step down.This would be on concrete so I can go either way but what do you guys recommend or do most often?

Entryway design with contrasting borders.
