Top 3 uses for leftover carpet scraps

No one likes waste, so why throw away your carpet scraps? Discover our top three uses for leftover carpet.

Now that your home is looking fresh and stylish with a brand new carpet, you're bound to have a few extra off-cuts lying around. Rather than throwing away these leftovers, why not repurpose them for use in other areas of your home? Our carpets and flooring experts have come up with a list of ideas to help put your carpet off-cuts to good use.

Protect your flooring

For rooms with wooden flooring, scratches and scuffs from heavy furniture are to be avoided at all costs. Protect your wood or laminate floor from accidental scrapes by sticking a small circle of leftover carpet to the underside of chair legs and beds.

Give your compost heap a winter boost

A great use for your leftover carpet is to place it over your compost heap during the winter months. This will help to keep moisture and warmth in your compost and aid the decomposition process ready for use in spring and summer.

Create a homemade cat scratching post

Getting frustrated with your cat scratching your furniture or clawing at your freshly laid carpet? Use your leftover carpet off-cuts to create a designated scratching post by wrapping them around a wooden post and securing to a stable board.
