How to save money on new carpets

If you are looking to refresh an interior space, your choice of flooring can have a dramatic impact on the feel and visual effect in a room.

Carpet is a great choice of flooring because it can add a textured and warm feel. The consumer group Which? says that carpet flooring is one of the best ways to warm a room, especially when combined with underfloor insulation. It also adds some soundproofing, which is a good thing to consider if you live in a flat, or if your living quarters are situated above any bedrooms in your home.

The downside to carpet is that a good quality one can come at a higher upfront cost, but there are some things you can do to save money on a new carpet:

Buy now pay later options

Firms offering pay weekly carpets are not just a thing of the past. Buy now pay later options for buying items have seen a resurgence in popularity recently. Many carpet companies offer pay weekly carpets or pay monthly, and this is a great way to get a fantastic and high-quality carpet up front but spread the cost over a period that is appropriate for you and your finances.

Sales, offcuts and discontinued carpets

Offcuts and old stock are another great way to save on quality carpet, as carpet companies will normally be happy to free up the space, and you might secure the carpet of your dreams for a fraction of the price

Make the right choice

You should choose hard wearing carpets for areas that get the most traffic, and carpets in places such as hallways should be easily cleaned, to ensure that your new carpet remains at its best.
