At Carpet Overlock King, we love helping Sunshine Coast locals find creative ways to elevate their homes. We recently completed a project for a customer in Tewantin who had a great eye for a bargain.
Instead of buying expensive pre-made rugs/mats, they purchased a quality new carpet offcut piece from a local carpet shop and brought it to us to work our magic.
From One Large Piece to Four Custom Mats
The goal was simple: take one large offcut and transform it into a set of matching mats to be used throughout their home. Since it was a large, new piece of carpet, the result looks like a coordinated, beautiful set of custom mats that fit their space perfectly.
What we did for this project:
Consultation & Sizing: We discussed their needs and the specific sizes of each mat.
Precision Cutting: We carefully trimmed the carpet into the desired sizes.
Professional Overlocking: Using our specialised overlocking machine, we applied a durable, high-quality edge to each piece.
Commuication: Provided outstanding communicaiton from start to finish to ensure a smooth process.
Google review from our happy customer:
Rick and Hayley did an amazing job on creating 4 x mats from an off cut of new carpet I recently purchased. Their communication was second to none and always kept me up to date with progress. The final job was completed on time and thought had gone into the colour choice of the thread to match the carpet. I would highly recommend them to anyone. Clare Tewantin
Why Buy Offcuts?
Buying a carpet offcut and having it overlocked is one of the best "hacks" for home decorating on the Sunshine Coast. It allows you to:
Get Better Quality: You can often afford a premium wool or high-end nylon offcut for less than the cost of a cheap synthetic rug. Local carpet shops often have peices from recent installs for amazing prices - pop in and have a chat to some. :)
Get the Perfect Size: Standard rugs often don't fit your lounge, entryway, hallway, or desired space perfectly. We cut the carpet to your specific measurements.
Ensure Consistency: By using one offcut for multiple mats, your home has a unified, polished look.
Local Service You Can Trust
Whether you've just had new carpet installed or you’ve found a "steal" of an offcut at a local shop, Rick and Hayley are here to help. We pride ourselves on great communication, a quick turnaround, and a high-quality finish that makes your carpet rival any store-bought rug, mat, or runner.
