Choosing Carpet for Hall Stairs Landing

I've already bought the sitting room carpet now so I'll just have to see how it goes. I wont be fussing too much as I like people to feel at home in a room and sure muddy boots would have been taken off anyway even with the old carpet.


I would consider scotchguard now that it has been made safer health-wise for a few years now.


Yes I did think of sisal to and your comments noted thanks Rustbucket and Slugbreath.


Bigbird I was pleased to hear about your research – I am inclined to do research before I buy anything and sometimes wonder at people I know who go out and spend just an hour or so deciding on stuff I would take months to decide. You seem to have got a great bargain – would like to know where you bought it. The 100% wool is great too as there would no “new carpet” smell from it, my new 80/20 in the sitting room smells strongly and am a bit worried about fumes for a relative who is to visit shortly who has asthma. I'm doing a bit of research on what type of houseplants absorbs the fumes and clean the air.



I'm on a house renovating project now on and off for over a year, currently getting some plastering/painting done outside and will keep hall/stairs/landing carpet simmering in the background.


Really appreciate all your comments.

Thanks for your feedback. Would like a site that gave feedback on recent purchases of various household items.
It is hard starting from scratch for each purchase. With some of the research done we have a better idea where to start. Good luck with you renevation.
Kind regards Browtal

We are thinking of taking a carpet out of our bathroom and just painting the floorboards white or off white. Any thoughts?

Well said Browtal and thanks.
Slugbreath - for what its worth here are a few comments on your choice. I think carpet in a bathroom is fine if it is in a section of the bathroom which is not near the bath or shower units. Painted floorboards would probably be a bit slippery and you would need to put down suitable mats or bath boards. If it is the only or main bathroom in the house would have to be taken into account also in considering the finish. It would be great to have a separate "wet room" and then a nice dressy comfortable bathroom too with floor of your choice.
