Tips for Making the Best of A Less-than-Ideal Carpet

In this country we use carpets extensively in our properties and I spend many hours discussing them with my clients.  There is a lot to consider - the material, pile, colour, the room and it's use, cost  - and so the list goes on!

Also, there is the problem of those inherited carpets that wouldn't be your choice but you can't afford to replace.  I have lost count of the many people who have told me that their hearts sank when they saw the carpets.  Even to the extent that it has put them off buying, or renting, a house!  However, as disheartening as this issue can be there are lots of inexpensive tricks and ways of covering up an expanse of unappealing carpet.  Here is a helpful article that I, and few other experts, were asked to comment  on  https://www.unitedcarpetsandbeds.com/advice/cleaning-maintenance-and-underlay/top-tips-making-best-less-ideal-carpet/

Rugs and runners are always an easy way to cover up either a worn bit of carpet or distracting the attention away from carpet that you don't particularly like!   I always stock a selection of them including some from a local company, Weaver Green, that are made from recycled plastic bottles.  These are not only hardwearing but thanks to their plastic properties are also waterproof, easy to clean and don't fade in sunlight.   Here is one of my favourites from the Nomad collection.
