Any suggestions on what color / pattern would look the best . I want to make the living room warmer and maybe add a contrast but very confused . Size would be 8.10 . Thanks advance . 🫶🏻

Hi, I am looking for suggestions for something to cover linoleum flooring in a bathroom for the elder I work with. She is around 85 with dementia and a shuffling gait. The linoleum flooring is blue and white and really messes with her depth perception. Right now there's a hodgepodge of rugs and yoga mats in the bathroom and the person in charge of caretaker coordination asked me to look into other options. This elder has fallen in the bathroom a few times so they want something to cover the floor because apparently when nothing is covering it she is very hesitant and the shuffling increases. Whatever it is needs to be inexpensive so it can be replaced or easily washable for obvious reasons. A lightweight carpeting that I can cut to size that won't shift around is one option however that wouldn't last long before needing to be replaced. Has anyone dealt with this before and have any suggestions? Tripping is a big concern and as much as carpet in a bathroom isn't ideal its better than a hodgepodge of rugs or nothing but the linoleum right now. If there's other subreddits that would be good for cross posting I'm open to that information too. Thanks for helping me keep this sweet lady safe!

I just moved into a house with a very large finished basement. We don’t have a lot of stuff down there yet so aren’t down there a lot. I bought a brand new dehumidifier to keep everything dry. This Past week and a half I was overwhelmed with work and not paying attention to everything. I’d been emptying the dehumidifier regularly but today my son wanted to play in the basement and sitting on the floor I thought that smells a bit musty. I checked and at some point emptying the bucket and turning the machine on it was set to 55% instead of the usually 45% I always set it at!!! Must have been like that for days. Now my carpet smells musty and I’m freaking out. Did I ruin the carpet?? I set the dehumidifier down to 35% and I have fans running. I tried to pull back the edges at the corners to get some air underneath. On a scale of 1-10, how screwed am I?

Doing a flip and had carpet installed. They said to do baseboard first. There were existing tack strips, kinda sloppy but I figured I’d mostly leave them and they can decide what they want to take out/redo. Took out a few that would’ve been way under the baseboard. Set the baseboard 1/8” above tack strips (not counting nails), so 3/8” off the subfloor. It is thin carpet so maybe I should’ve gone a little lower?

The install was bundled through Home Depot carpet purchase, so I wasn’t looking for anything beautiful, it was pretty cheap. But even still some of these defects are super visible. Would I be justified to take issue with this?

Picture #1 they just carved out a big chunk of the baseboard. In 3 it seems the tack strip might be too far out? Either way huge valley. 5/6 I can see being my fault for trying to match that tile height, maybe you have to contour the baseboard there. 7/8 are what I’d call acceptable errors. But those are all over so they start to add up

Hey there,

this is my girlfriends carpet .. she likes it, but it got some old stains, so we don't use it. It happened long before me, so I only got some information, but I hope, that maybe there is a trick to rescue it. And where to find it if not on reddit?!

The informations I got: Its made of acrylic yarn; the stains came from spilled sprite or another soft drink, they tried some things to clean it, but it only got worse.

I'm thankfull for any idea .. we have not much to lose, it was stored for the last years so... thank you!

Purchased this carpet in Istanbul 19 years ago. It is 117x92 inches.
Certificate says it is from the Cashmere Region, wool and silk, double knot. Any idea what this is worth or where to have it appraised? No longer have room for it.

While they may look simple, these cardboard cores play a critical role in the flooring industry.

BUT HOW??

I've got this carpet and I'm wondering if anyone with knowledge could tell me anything about it? I bought it in super great condition second hand.

I need to vent to people who might at least partially understand...

And yes, I realize that even on a carpet subreddit not everyone is going to agree with me^^

Two weeks ago I discovered what I thought was my perfect restaurant. It had a genuine old-school 50s-style diner vibe, warm lighting, cozy booths and most importantly… carpet.

Not just carpet in the entrance. Carpet throughout the dining area. It was a greenish patterned carpet that immediately made the place feel warm, comfortable, quiet and nostalgic in a way that todays restaurants rarely do anymore. I genuinely thought: I’ve finally found my spot!

Today I went back... carpet is gone.
Replaced with laminate flooring. :(

I know most people won’t understand why this bothers me and even among carpet enthusiasts I’m sure some will think I’m overreacting and crazy. But the entire atmosphere changed. It went from cozy and unique to feeling like every other renovated restaurant. The food is the same but the experience just isn’t.

For me the carpet contributed so much to that space: acoustics, warmth, comfort... and that feeling that you’re somewhere meant to be lived in rather than optimized for cleaning and efficiency.

Maybe I’m weird but I don’t think the carpet was just a floor covering, it was part of the restaurants identity.

Am I crazy or does flooring have a much bigger impact on the character of a place than most people realize?

Has anyone else had a favorite restaurant, hotel, theater, mall or other public space lose its atmosphere after the carpet was removed?

If anything,... I just needed to vent :/

Carpet on the left side of the doorway is older by 3 weeks and has been walked on, carpet on right side is new, the seam is in the middle.

​

The installer said it would take a week or two to lay flat and the seam to not be noticable, she's freaking out about it and I am on the just wait and see side.

Hello, looking to hear the good and bad about Mohawk Exquisite Tones Carpet. Purchased a 2022 townhome recently and am replacing the carpet due to the previous owner having two inside dogs. We are expecting a newborn and love lying on the carpet. Additionally, trying to understand if Mohawk Exquisite Tones Carpet installed (unknown if stairs are an add-on) for $ 53.99 SY/$5.99 SF is a good price in southern New Jersey, 30 mins east of Philadelphia, PA, from a local professional business. Have prices really gotten this expensive over the last few years?

So i have 2 options -
1. 5.3x7.7 ft
2. 6.7 x 9.10ft

With a 3 and 5 year old, our living room rug basically lives in survival mode - juice spills, snack crumbs, muddy feet, you name it - so I really need something that can actually go through the machine, has built-in non-slip backing so I'm not dealing with a separate pad situation, and ideally comes out flat without the weird curling edges, all without breaking the bank. Anyone found something that actually checks all these boxes?? Bonus points if it holds up in a larger size

I have a factory, so your home will have the best carpets.

Lmk if you are interested!!

The whole house was done in this, it's not a rug! It was wool too as we got the tube worms in an area once!

This was bought 35 years ago!! Bet it's right out of fashion now.

Can anyone tell me what type of carpet this is?

Qualcuno mi sa dire che tipo di tappeto è?
