a bag with Sprint kilim carpet Creative recycling with carpets There are some basic rules for really living “green”. One of these is from do not waste, through reuse and recycling.
It is an assumption that stimulates creativity to an extraordinary degree, prompting one to invent new ways of giving objects a second life.
Is creative recycling also possible for carpets?
We answer “certainly” almost a priori because, since it is creativity, it knows no limits, not even those of the imagination.
Who knows how many ideas have sprung up from old carpets. We have looked for some of them, but the list will never be complete.

 

There is carpet and carpet

Creative thinking is lateral by nature, allowing one to see things not only for what they are, but for what they could become.
A carpet is a woven fabric, generally born from the interweaving of yarns.
We begin to consider every old carpet we have in the house in this way.
Depending on the type of fabric we have in front of us, we can think of unorthodox, but very fun and highly satisfying uses for DIY enthusiasts.

Aesthetic Upgrade

 

Our old carpet is made of a soft fabric, which we can sew?
The carpet is worn as a whole but could the fabric be treated and made into something else?
These are the cases in which you can borrow tailoring skills to create durable duffel bags (for tools or heavy loads) ideal for the whole family's hobbies. They could also become covers for seats, tables or other items in outdoor use, but the true triumph of sartorial creativity always remains patchwork.
By combining parts of different fabrics, from carpets or otherwise, additional carpets will be created, which can also become artistic creations.

If the quality of the source objects allows it, tapestries, intended to decorate a wall, could also be created in the hands of an artist.

Functional downgrade

 

It is possible that a carpet goes from a more “noble” environment to a lesser use.
This is the case with a kitchen carpet, for example, which is passed on to the garden, where it will undergo far less gentle treatment.
There, it can be used instead of non-woven tarpaulins to eliminate weeds, e.g. in the preparation of a paving or pebble cover.
A rug will be very useful for those who tend the garden or vegetable garden, and will often find themselves working on their knees.
A soft, unpretentious cleaning stand will be particularly welcome. The garage could also benefit from the presence of a carpet “inherited” from the living room.
It would make the environment more welcoming, creating a functional and decorated passageway for those passing by on foot. if you play you can't help it

Change of use

 

More than destination, we should talk about recipients. Our four-legged friends may require a little extra care, especially when moving from outside to inside the house.
A carpet that has lost its initial polish can still perform an excellent service as a place for cleaning our dog's paws, in a transitory environment where the aesthetic side takes second place.
If the dog kennel remains outside the house, albeit in a sheltered position, enriching it with an old carpet will increase its warmth and comfort.

A carpet removed from the living room would also become a real luxury if placed in the boot of the car, where dogs are also transported, especially after walks in nature.
