Carpet

A carpet cut to a curve

A whole floor in a soft taupe, scribed to a curved brick entry at one end and run tight to a slate border at the other.

Broadloom carpet cut in one long sweeping curve where it meets a brick paved entry, the cut sitting tight to the brick the whole way round

What we did

Most of a carpet job is straight lines, and straight lines forgive you. A curve does not. The edge has to be scribed to the brick a bit at a time, because carpet moves as you work it, so a line that was right when you marked it can have wandered by the time you finish cutting. Leave it long and it rides up and ripples the whole way round. Take it short and you have a gap you cannot close, and on a curve a gap only looks worse the further it runs. The same floor meets a slate border along the stone wall, where the edge is dead straight and finished under a metal strip. Two of the hardest edges in carpet fitting, at opposite ends of one room.
