Carpet remnants are a great way to cover the flooring in your home on a tight budget. Carpet remnants are literally the end of the roll of carpet and can vary in size from very small ie. suitable for a rug to very large i.e able to carpet a whole large room. You can find high quality remnants for low prices in the remnant stores, or your local carpet warehouse may have some leftover carpet it is always worth asking. You are unlikely to find enough of any one carpet remnant to carpet your whole house, so this option is really for individual rooms, but you may be lucky check on Ebay for larger rolls!

A few things to bear in mind when thinking about using remnants for your home, always take the measurements with you when you shop. It will be very disappointing to find a lovely piece of carpet at a great price and have no idea whether it will be big enough for your room. Another useful tip would be to try to visit the largest discount carpet store in your area, this will give you the best choice and range of quality, style, color, texture  and price. When looking into pricing always ask about delivery and fitting. If you are capable you can fit the carpet yourself, otherwise you may wish to leave it a professional. Find out costs associated with fitting before you buy, otherwise your good deal may not be quite as good as you thought!

If you find a piece of carpet that you love but it wouldn’t be larger enough for your room, you could consider turning it into a rug. Most carpet dealers can recommend someone ( or even do it themselves) to finish the raw edges of the carpet so that it will not fray. This is especially useful for any leftover carpet that can be used to protect high traffic areas in the home from children and animals!

With care and attention to detail it is possible to achieve great results with budget carpet remnants in your home. Good luck and great deals await you!
