Floors
So up came my old carpet . Taking up old floor coverings will help you lose any stale house smells . Carpet and paint soak up smells like tobacco , strong cooking , animals and water damage . Replacing your carpet is not a cheap exercise but considering the cost against the value of your property , it ’ s probably the best presentation investment you can make . Never underestimate the importance of smell when you go onto the market .
Because my home is located in a warm humid climate , about 50 % of my floor area is tiled . Fortunately , the existing tiles were okay and in any case , taking them up would have been a very expensive option . So I chose paint and carpet tones that integrated with them . Then I found a big chunky rug at IKEA that was large enough to cover a good portion of the tiled area .
To replace the old carpet I chose 100 % wool Sisal . It ’ s ridged and sturdy and looks great anywhere . The ridging allows for safe use on stairways
