I have a hunch---carpet is making a comeback. And so is wallpaper, but that's another story.
If you're on the hunt for a bargain-priced area rug or wall-to-wall carpet for a small to medium-sized room, I suggest you bring your measurements and check out the monsterous back room of the Montauk Rug & Carpet store off Route 110 in Farmingdale.
Here you'll find hundreds of carpet remnants (some pieces are as large as 15 x 20 feet) selling at discount prices. Most are leftovers from custom orders or discontinued styles/patterns from upscale carpet brands.
Each roll is ticketed with a size and sale price. DIYers can cash and carry on the spot or pay extra for delivery and installation.
Even better-- If you spot a remnant you'd like to use as an area rug, the staff will trim and bind it to size for about $1 a linear foot. (Hint: Some salespeople are willing to barter).
