Hi Ida, your video is so helpful! Could you share the link to the product (or product at similar price tiers with on par quality) you used?

I wanted to do this to my living room last year but when I looked on KZfaq the only ppl showing how to lay over carpet were using wood planking underneath. I wasn’t trying to spend that kind of money. I found you a couple weeks ago and your idea of using construction paper was genius!!!! My living room looks absolutely AMAZING!! I wish I could upload pics on here lol.

Girl, if you don't stop! This is the simplest and best DYI I have ever seen. Thank you so much! I am tired of my dusty carpet and will be doing this! Thank you again!

Thank you for posting this !! My bf and I are moving soon and we have two naughty cats who love messing up carpets so I’m glad we found a way to cover the carpet and you are very knowledgeable thank you ❤❤❤

I just want to say thank you for this video🙌🏽. My carpet in my apartment is horrible from wear and tear over the 5+ yrs of living here and I’m so tired of shampooing it. This is a inexpensive and great way of getting a new look in my home. I will be purchasing my supplies soon and starting this project.❤️❤️ Thank u🙏🏽 Thank you ☺️

Can’t imagine this lasts long. I’d imagine it’s going to flex when you step on it and eventually lead to cracks/breaks. As much as I’d like to do this in my apartment(because I hate the carpet in here). I’d imagine I’d only be happy with doing this up until the inevitable cracking/breaking of the new floor

Love this! My son is incontinent so I’m always trying to figure out ways to save his carpet in rentals. I’m definitely trying this! Much easier than plywood

! My flat has the oldest looking FORREST GREEN carpet I’m so over it. This is definitely the hack I’ve been looking for! Thank you 😊

Looks beautiful! The paint color is unique as well!

I was having such a hard time with the carpet of my place and thanks to YOU

poster boards is sooo smart!! my room also has some diagonal areas so this will be wayyy easier to cut/install!! thank you so much for this video

Now this just gave me life, i have been trying to think of a way ro change my living room floors without ripping out the carpet because I rent. Boy have i found the solution, rhank u soooo much for sharing.

I have been wanting to remodel my laundry room, you made it look really easy. #motivation I’ll be trying this 💕

🔥🔥🔥 very smart way to lay the panels .

I am so glad that I found your channel! I have lived in a carpeted apartment for the last few years. Each year I get a terrible flea infestation that lasts 4 months. I am looking forward to trying this out to see if it helps with the fleas. ❤

Omggggg, I'm loving this. This is giving me life right now, lol! Great idea! I'm moving and I hate carpets and I have allergies so this will definitely be something I would love to do. Thank you so much! #lifesaver

My gosh I wish I would have found this video years ago. This looks so good😍😍😍

This just made me so excited to find. I will be doing this to my living room and my bedroom. I hate my apartments rug.

This is so frigging clever! Wicked simple and useful idea.

Thank you Ida...! its amazing thanks for sharing

Wow ! So cool!!!!! Love it !!!!

I swear I’ve been searching for this specific video since before it even existed! GENUIS!!!! Thank you so much for sharing 💗💗💗

Perfect & geniuse. I need to renovate my apartment old carpet , coming from the walls. Leasing manager claims it's new, he must ment in the past tense as when it was put in that apartment years ago. I'm going to try the poster board with the tiles from Wish. Wish seems to have a nice asortment of light adhesive floor tiles that will brighten up my room. I put the privacy film on kitchen window and inspection came and thought I replaced the windows and was amazed. 😄😁

Wow! Excellent idea! This is a lot easier! Thanks!

You are genius. I was just sitting here trying to figure out how to cover my carpet in my rental since my landlord is taking a while to replace it. And you came up with an amazing idea and way of doing so. I have a one year old who plays on the floor a lot and drops food and spills as well. And this would make it so easy to clean up and remove when I decide to move out. I'm heading over to Amazon and Lowe's and checking prices on the flooring and poster boards. Thank you for this great way to transition my home.

The best DIY EVER!!! I will do that already put everything on my Amazon basket!!! Thank you so so much!!!!❤❤❤❤❤

This is AMAZING!!!! So simple! Thank you for showing! :) Will gladly be using this method ☺️

New Sub! I've been wanting to do this to my office! Thanks for sharing how it is to be done! You rock!

This is a great idea!! You have a very creative mind! Thank you so much for making it easier for me to figure out! Poster board is good but I have lots of cardboard I can use. Thank you so much!

This video is so perfect and such a smart solution to carpet in rentals!!! Thank you!!!

This is amazing! Thank you! We just bought a house… but it’s way too expensive to redo every room. An easy and cheap way to remodel until we can afford something else!

Beautifully finish project! Thank you

Hello, OMG, I'm so glad I found your video. I HATE carpet, and I want so desperately to get rid of it, but that's hard to do when renting. This is a gamechanger. HUGE THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love this idea. I have carpet I want to cover and I'm I'm glad I found your video.

You are a lifesaver!!! Thank you so much for this video!

love this! definitely will be redoing my flooring.

Literal life saver!!!! Thank you !

Thank you SO MUCH for this tutorial!!

Wow this is genius.It looks beautiful

This is exactly what I was looking for to use in my camper van

Wow! You did such an amazing job. It was absolutely beautiful.

Love this idea! What happens if it gets wet? Does it crack under furniture or otherwise?

This is genius. I just purchased a house and the only thing I don't like is that it has beautiful carpet in the living room the hall and the bedrooms and I have a messy kid and pets . You saved me from spending about $400 on Amazon for carpet protector .this is the perfect low cost solution. Thank you !!!

I’m so happy I found this, I’ll be moving into my very first studio today in February & im not too crazy about the rug!! 😜 I’ll definitely will be transforming it with this DIY thank you so much!! 🤞🏼💗

ONE ADDED TIP - Thank you very much for posting the helpful video! Just one tip to add - STAGGER THE PLANKS AS MUCH AS YOU CAN. Rather than laying the planks in a straight "square" or "rectangle", with all the planks ending in a straight line OR using the SAME random pattern throughout the installation (giving the final result a "stair step" or "H" pattern), randomize the layout (stagger the plank) as much as you can (unless you want a repeated pattern, of course). Staggering the planks will do three things: -- #1) Give the final structure of the installation more strength; #2) Give the final result a professional look; #3) Prevent the long straight-line seams that are formed in square or rectangle layouts from catching dirt over time, making them more noticeable. The labor itself won't be anymore difficult, it will just take a little more time in planning. There are many websites that give instructions on how to accomplish a totally randomized installation/layout. (Google "stagger vinyl plank flooring".)

Very clever and cost effective. Tanks!

Sis out here doing Gods work!

Thank u for this simple DIY!!!!!! I will be using this❤❤❤❤❤❤

Girlllll i saw the short and I was like lemeeeee really see and like omg !!! IM ABOUTA DO THIS TO MY STUDIO APT ❤️❤️❤️

This is amazing! Thank you so much!

Love it. Gonna do this in living room, and other rooms

Brilliant!!🎉🎉🎉

Amazingly awesome.... Thank you so much

Glad I found this. They put carpet all the way up to the front door. So there is no entry way persay to take off your shoes especially concerning for winter months.

Very cool ! How do you go about cleaning it & are you worried about water damage getting in from like mopping or spills or something? I’ve seen some mention that in another video but I think it was for the bathroom, so it might be different.

Im moving next month and im so doing this in the living room great idea

This is genius! Thank you so much for this. I had resigned myself to having to get rugs, but have been dreading the upkeep - I have CFS. This is so much cooler and lower maintenance.

I love this idea- my entire apartment is carpeted, so i just might do something like this ❤

Just happened to see this very creative good job

You’re a god send!

Darlin you did so super💞

Thank you for idea! ☺️

This is amazing thank you so much 💗💗💗🥰

Thank you!

Omggg im so doing this ! Thank you !

You have saved my life !!! I hate carpet in my house and I’m like I’ve got to get rid of it …GIRL YOU ARE THE BOMB 💣 you just earned a NEEWWW SUBSCRIBER I’m stalking you now loll just kidding but great job

Aftermath must feel really comfy and soothing on the foot

Wow thanks so much I Might have opened up my apartment Opportunities

You just saved me a ton of money🙏🏾🙏🏾

I absolutely love your method! I am looking for a solution to cover up carpet in my apartment for easy clean up.. are there issues with liquids going in between the edges of the individual pieces? In cases where you'd need to mop, if spills happen, animal accidents, etc.

Awesome 😩😍I’m trying to put down wood over carpet in my room as well as the living room. How does it feel when walking on it ? Is it a solid surface , or does it dip in when stepping & walking on it ?

Thank you ❤!

Do you think this would work with a carpet that is a little bit thicker? Like do you think it would squish and move around even with poster boards underneath

Thank you! I had no idea where to start after I found thin carpet under the carpet I tore up.

I love this idea! Thank you for the video. Does the flooring move a bit when you walk on it? I’m a bit worried since my carpet is a longer carpet. I don’t know how it would turn out.

Incredible

Nice Job!

Thanks for doing this

Does it feel like hardwood when your walking on it or does it feel like soft carpet under?

Thank you for this

Amazing video

I’m gonna try this. Been living in my apt 8 years and I am SO DONE with the carpet. It’s old and ugly and I do not have time to carpet clean and constantly waiting for it to dry. OVER IT lol! Great idea!

I hate my carpet. Your way of doing it its great. I'm gonna give a try soon

Omggg thank you for this

This is Amazing! i was wandering if i can also do this in my living and dining room?

Oh, this is a good idea! I don't see this working as well for high pile carpets like how most rentals have them. But this is an excellent idea none the less. Might be seeing myself do this here soon, I'm going to look for a property with laminate. But some landlords do looooove their carpet. (As it screams, "Let me keep your whole ass $3000 deposit over a tiny stain")

You just saved my rabbits lives, my parents said they were going to get rid of my bunnies because they kept eating the carpet but when i asked to get hardwood they said they didn't want to rip out the carpet. So hopefully this will work

Thank you for sharing this. I’m wanting to do this in my office (I’m renting). My only question is if you accidentally drop or spill something that’s liquid on the vinyl, does it seep through the cracks leaking onto the carpet?
