Here are a few ways to use remnants.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Small Bedroom: <\/strong>A small bedroom can be carpeted with a remnant. If you\u2019re redecorating a guest room or a child\u2019s bedroom, a remnant allows you to replace or update flooring in a small space without concern for adjoining areas like hallways or other rooms.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dorm Rooms:<\/strong> Often, a college student has a strict budget, so splurging on a plush area rug to make their dorm more comfortable may be out of the question. Don\u2019t sacrifice quality for price. \u00a0A carpet remnant can provide high-quality material at the small size needed.\u00a0 A carpet remnant is a great solution for the college years.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Covered Porch: <\/strong>Blending outdoor and indoor living spaces is all the rage. Take a little of your indoor comfort out onto your covered porch and enjoying sipping your sweet tea.\u00a0 A carpet remnant offers comfort and reliability at an economical price.\u00a0 Finish the edges and you have a beautiful area rug.\u00a0 When the elements of nature start to take a toll, it\u2019s easier to remove or replace a remnant rug than more permanently installed flooring.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tree House\/Play House: <\/strong>Make your treehouse or play house feel like home. We can find a carpet remnant at the right size and in fun colors. This will add comfort and enjoyment for your little ones.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Vinyl Remnant Uses<\/h3>\n<p>Vinyl floors have proven the test of time.\u00a0 They\u2019re more resilient and diverse in finish styles than ever before.\u00a0 Vinyl remnants open-up a world of possibilities.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Small Rooms: <\/strong>Vinyl remnants are very useful for small areas that need water-resistant flooring. Half-baths, laundry rooms, pantries and other small areas can be recovered on a very small budget. There are many colors and patterns available in vinyl, so browse remnants until you find the one that\u2019s right for your small space.\u00a0 It\u2019s a budget-friendly update.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Shed\/Mudroom\/Closet: <\/strong>These areas get a lot of abuse from foot traffic, boots, tools and rough &amp; tumble toys. Finding a remnant to replace these small areas of flooring can bring a fresh look and cleaner surface for your family\u2019s use.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Mini Remnants<\/h3>\n<p>These scraps of the scraps are often tiny and can\u2019t quite cover a room of any size.\u00a0 So what can we use these bits for?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Sliders: <\/strong>Place these tiny squares under heavy bits of furniture so you don\u2019t scuff those areas of wood floor or vinyl.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Animals: <\/strong>Keep your kitty busy with a rolled up carpet remnant as a makeshift scratching post. \u00a0Or place a small square of carpet near the foot of your bed for your pup to lay on.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cushion Knees:<\/strong> Fold a scrap of carpet to place under your knees when gardening or working on a floor-level project.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Screen Cleaner: <\/strong>Those pesky window screens don\u2019t wipe so easily, but the microfibers in carpet can help you get all the dust and grime from in between your screens. Dip a clean piece of carpet into warm, sudsy water, and rub the pile side onto screens to remove dirt buildup.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pad the Drier: <\/strong>cut down on the wild shaking of an overloaded drier by slipping an extra remnant of carpet underneath. It can muffle the noise and prevent your floor from scratching.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Remnant pieces can be very versatile.\u00a0 Be creative when looking at small spaces and small projects.
