Why Carpet Remnants Are Great For College Students

In many cases, college students have to make do with what they have – and sometimes that means settling for less than the best. But carpet remnants are great for college students because they’re affordable, size-customizable, and there’s no compromise needed. Now, carpet remnants might not be the first thought that comes to college students’ (or their parents’) minds when it comes to decorating a dorm or a first apartment. But carpet remnants are great household additions for all types of people, and they come in especially handy for college students in a number of ways.

They Make For Cost-Effective Decorating

It’s a well-known fact that college students aren’t made of money. But just because they’re low on funds doesn’t mean that they don’t deserve an aesthetically pleasing, put-together dorm room. Let’s be honest – dorms aren’t always the coziest, especially those located in older university buildings. Carpet remnants do the work in turning these rooms into a comfortable space that students can actually enjoy spending time in. Carpet remnants have a special way of bringing all the elements of a dorm room together by creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Of course, carpet remnants can be used as area rugs. But if a student is feeling especially creative, they can also use remnants to reupholster an ottoman or even create custom throw pillows. Talk about a cool way to pull elements of a dorm together!

They Keep The Noise Down

While college dorms might not always be known for their comfort, they are known for their noise level. There’s nothing wrong with a little rowdiness now and then, but no one wants an echoey room where every step and item dropped can be heard from all over. Carpet remnants don’t just create a softer place to land for when students inevitably drop things, they also add a bit of soundproofing to a dorm that might come in handy.

They Keep the Place Clean

Carpet remnants go far beyond being used as area rugs; they can also be made into doormats. Having a carpet remnant located outside of a dorm room door prevents dirt, crumbs, road salt, and other unsanitary outside items from being tracked into the place a student calls home

They Have Personality

The point of dorm rooms (and some studio apartments that college students live in) is that they’re all the same. But every student is so different, of course, so their dorm room is the perfect place to show off a bit of personality. A hard floor isn’t always conducive to making a room your own, but carpet remnants cut into interesting, geometric shapes have the ability to bring a dorm to life. Students can find colors they like and carpet types they’re drawn to in order to create a dorm room vibe that no one else has.
