Carpet just too short I have made a doorway in what was previously a wall.
The carpet now ends up about 10 mm away from the edge of the door. The room on the other side is on a new slab, which is to be tiled.
I don't want the tiles extending under the door into the existing room, to meet the carpet, as it would look ugly.
I don't want to replace the carpet, as I have already blown my budget.
Does anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks
Mark

Carpet layers could stretch the carpet by that much.
For the best results I use -
I think Joe has the right of it. Fairly easy to make and decorative.Originally Posted by joe greiner

Another idea would be a brass or ally strip but I would use wood.
. . . making saw and metal dust helps keeps me sane
Yes a carpet layer will be able to stretch the carpet, we once did something very similar. BUT you may have a job getting one out to do something so small.
Maybe you can hire a carpet stretrcher from somewhere and do it yourself, wont take much.
My SIL made a little tile mosaic to fill the space.
