    Make sure the fitter lays the carpet the right way round.
    Oh come on, even the most dim-witted numskull knows that the hessian goes on the bottom and the fluffy bit goes on the top  :):D:D

    I know what you're really meaning though, and would hope that any professional fitter would check that as a matter of course.

    Hi
    You made me LOL. You got the wrong end of the carpet. The poster meant but was not clear about the way the pile travels. You can only downn that if you have enough carpet

    Hi OP

    Nice colour, :)  - we had that in the living room and bedrooms when we moved in but changed it to real wood floors as easier to clean but nice colour.
    Good luck
