12 Uses for Leftover Carpet Remnants
Got leftover carpet from your home renovation project? Carpet remnants can go a long way in providing practical uses for your home or fixing a simple problem. They can be used in some pretty creative, practical ways around the house, such as sensory boards for kids, pet beds, or these other 12 great ideas below.
#1: Cushion for the pet crate
Animal experts say crates are one of the most successful ways to potty train your pet. A little cushy carpet inside the crate makes it a cozy home, and you can add carpet under the crate to prevent scratches and dents on your floor.
#2: Make a cat scratching post
Speaking of animals, use leftover carpet to make a scratching post for your cat. Go above and beyond by making a cat tree!
#3: Under the washing machine
Slip a few pieces under the feet of your washing machine to keep the noise down in the laundry room.
#4: In the garden
Save your knees-in the garden or anywhere else you use a little elbow grease with some rolled-up carpet remnants.
#5: Move heavy furniture
Moving furniture across hard surfaces? Slip carpet remnants under the furniture, pile side down, and push it across the floor.
#6: Soundproof a music room
Using leftover carpet remnants to soundproof a music room is effective and inexpensive. You can put carpet on the walls and even the ceiling to keep the sound down for everyone in the house and your neighbors.
#7: Enhance your furniture
Use carpet remnants as a topper for a piece of furniture such as a mudroom bench, or use rolled-up pieces of carpet as a unique way to make a cushion.
#8: Donate it to local animal shelters
Our favorite leftover flooring idea: Give it to a shelter and improve the lives of the "residents" there.
#9: Cover a workbench
Use leftover carpet to make a protective cover for your home workbenches and make them last longer. If your workbench has a metal surface, this will make it non-slip.
#10: Support exercise equipment
Place carpet remnants under exercise equipment, such as indoor bike trainers, weight benches, and elliptical machines, to help prevent indentions in your existing carpet.
#11: Extra protection in storage bins
Use carpet in your storage bin for an added layer of protection for all your favorite fragile things, from holiday ornaments to family keepsakes.
#12: Tire traction in the snow
Stash a few carpet remnants in the trunk of your car to put under the tires if you or a friend's car gets stuck in the snow. You never know when you'll need it!
