When you’ve spent a great deal of money on a brand new carpet, it can be a shame to waste any material that’s been leftover. There is some good news though, you don’t have to! We’ve thought of many purposes for odd cuts of carpet, and we’re going to talk you through a couple of options.

Use carpet as a protector for heavy items

When you’ve put a brand new carpet down, it is okay to double up. Let us explain… If you have a heavy filing cabinet which is about to sit on a new carpet, you can cut a leftover piece to sit directly under the filing cabinet and on top of your new carpet. It’s essentially double the protection, and it means your new carpet won’t aquire lines of wear, which are familiar with heavy goods.

Use odd carpet for cupboards

Not many people think to put carpet in their cupboards, but it’s worth it. If you have a built in wardrobe or built-in cupboards, you can use up odd pieces of carpet in the bottom, and it’s a much nicer surface for your belonging to sit on.
