If you have leftover carpet, or if you have considered buying inexpensive carpet remnants, here are some great ways to put them to use.

Pets

Pets love to lie on soft surfaces, and although we love our pets, we sometimes wish that they would shed less! If your pet likes to lie in a particular area, consider cutting a carpet remnant to size and placing it in the area. Show it to your pet, and give praise once he or she lies down. If you have a dog house outside, you can line it with a carpet remnant to make it more comfortable and appealing to your dog.

Entryways

Carpet remnants are often more absorbent than other mats, and many people like to place them inside and even outside entryways to help keep other flooring surfaces clean. If you have a mudroom, consider using a very large carpet remnant inside. It can be removed and replaced much more easily than traditionally installed carpet, and remnants often cost less than other types of flooring you could use to cover the room, while providing comfort and insulation where it’s needed most.

Carpet A Small Room

If you’ve got a small room that needs some redecorating, a large carpet remnant can do the trick. You can place it over existing carpet or rip up old carpet and replace it completely. Carpet remnants are great for rooms that tend to be messed up frequently – if you or your children enjoy crafts using a carpet remnant to protect permanent flooring can be a great idea and it will be even cheaper than putting down a large area rug to cover the floor with a comfortable surface.

Basements

The basement is usually one of the last places homeowners finish. Even so, it is possible to make existing spaces more comfortable and add insulation by using strategically placed carpet remnants in areas you use. If kids play in the basement, carpet can make floors safer and more comfortable.

Sound Proofing

Remnants can be tacked up to help soundproof a room, plus they can add fun style to the walls. If your teenager plays a noisy instrument, a fun studio can provide encouragement and protect the rest of the family from noise at the same time.

Now that you’ve got some ideas, you’re sure to find fun ways to put carpet scraps to use! Be creative – you never know what you’ll come up with when you step out of the box.
