- Remnants: Most carpet stores have a section with pieces left from the end of rolls, which are often discounted. You might get lucky and find one that is the right size for your space.
- Carpet trimmings and offcuts: These can be used to make doormats and rugs, or to carpet the inside of cupboards. They’re also handy if you haven’t quite decided where to put your furniture yet – place them underneath the legs to avoid squashing the pile while you try out different locations.

- Underlay: Sourcing the underlay separately might be cheaper from another supplier.
- Discontinued stock: Carpets that are being discontinued often have price reductions. Make sure you have a back-up option or time to go back to the drawing board if the carpet sells out before you order, though. Looking after your new carpet.
Carpet Fitting
One way to save money is on the istallation of a new carpet. This means you would buy a carpet supply only and fit yourself or find your own fitter. However, theres always a risk of an ameatuer carpet installation resulting in a poorly fitted carpet. For this reason, we always recommend you leave carpet installation to the pros.
However, there are some labour saving ideas, that will reduce your carpet fitters cost like:
- Prepare the room and rip up the old carpets and flooring yourself. I know it sounds obvious but ripping up your own carpet or old flooring and disposing of it safely yourself will save you monet. Most large carpet retailers will charge for the privilege, so just do it yourself.
- Move your own furniture. Again, this sounds so obvious, but honestly ask any carpet fitter and they’ll tell you they will charge to move your large pieces of furniture around the room to lay the carpet. It eats into their time, so don’t pay them to do something you may be able to do yourself.
