Considering wall-to-wall carpet? Everything, including oversized furniture, has to come out of the room before installation. Yes, that includes sectionals, large cabinets and bunk beds. To properly stretch and install your carpet, we need an empty space. Don’t worry, we’ll help you plan ahead so that everything runs smoothly.
When it comes to installing wall-to-wall carpet, there’s one rule that surprises a lot of people: everything has to come out of the room before installation. Yes, even oversized furniture and bunk beds.
Wall-to-wall carpet installation isn’t just about laying down material. For a professional result, the carpet needs to be stretched tightly across the room and secured properly. If there's furniture in the way, the installer can’t get the right tension, and over time the carpet may develop ripples and wrinkles that lead to early wear.
We understand that oversized furniture, including sectionals, pool tables and bunk beds aren't easy to move. Sometimes they seem impossible to get out the door. But, if it’s on the floor, it has to go out of the room. In some cases, furniture may need to be disassembled.
So, if you're considering new carpet, take stock of what’s in the room. Your trusted retailer may be able to help you make a plan.
