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?
Hey love! Sorry for the late reply, I was putting the purchase list together. Here is a link to the products liketk.it/4zhgH
hi there..how much boxes of the peel n stick did you use?
@@IdaAlexis Hi, the link you sent doesn't show the item list. A bunch of black circles going down the page. Not sure if it’s broken, Is it possible to get the list elsewhere? Thanks!
@@Santoshi1071hey love! Thank you so much for letting me know. Just updated the link liketk.it/4zhgH
I wanted to do this to my living room last year but when I looked on RUclips 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.
Oh my goodness this comment made my whole day!! So happy it turned out nicely for you
@@snn2913 so far none! It looks exactly the same as when I put it down. Just make sure you push them really close together when laying them down. You should hear them almost snapping together. If not they will shift a bit because it’s just very sticky glue that is connecting them.
@@snn2913 Anytime! Thanks for watching. Good luck with your project :)
I was thinking this exact thing... huge pieces of plywood on top of my carpet doesn't sound fun to deal with... I did think of like... moving blankets or carpet matting etc but that was the best I could come up with, and obviously they're not 'hard' or smooth... this is freaking genius and now i have a great idea in using some old laminate i managed to score for free :D
@@riaglitta Woo hoo! good luck on your project love! Also, some people mentioned to stagger the tiles instead of laying them side by side like I did.
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 ❤❤❤
Thank you so much ❤️ and good luck with your project
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 so much Yes, let me know how it comes out! Also, some people recommended staggering them instead of laying it down the way I did in this video. I think thats a good idea and will also try it that way next time I do this.

Would this work over commercial carpet?
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
I would imagine one good run in that room for whatever reason i.e rushing ro get dressed and the floor would shift causing you to hurt yourself. creative ideal tho.
@@Master63ywhat about stapling the poster boards down first before applying the tiles
Orrrr get that plastic they use for wen u paint and put down staple that down but pull it very tightly over floor instead of getting all that poster board orrr use card board boxes (free)very flatly
I've had mixed results. I used cheap peel and stick vinyl from Walmart in one room and higher quality from Home Depot in the other. The home depot has cracked from foot traffic, the Walmart tolerates furniture being moved on it and has no cracks. The technique works, but thinner more flexible tile seems to be the best.
I've been thinking about getting that plastic mat stuff for office chairs that has the sharp teeth on the underside, then poster board then the wood vinyl stuff to avoid the carpet plush push down whenever you walk on it....gonna be expensive tho but I still wanna try it.
! 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 😊
Thank you so much love🙏🏼💙 good luck on your project!
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 ☺️
Thank you so much for your kind words, it means a lot! Good luck with your project and let me know how your project comes out :)

@@IdaAlexis was the tile hard to clean mop ?
@@veemoon1428 Hey love, I would vacuum and then use a swiffer & wet pad to mop (Do not use a regular mop & bucket to prevent any molding etc)
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
Thank you!! lol I totally understand, good luck with your project 🙏🏼💙
I was having such a hard time with the carpet of my place and thanks to YOU
Hey! Thank you so much 🙏🏼💙 I hope your project came out amazing!
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
Anytime love! Thanks for watching and good luck with your project 🙏🏼💙
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.
Hey love! I'm so happy to help! Hope your project comes out amazing
Here's the update & removal video ruclips.net/video/gQe14yFWmPQ/видео.html
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
Thank you so much🙏🏼💙if you can, stagger the tiles. A few people mentioned that will make the floor come out better. Congrats on your new apartment & good luck with your project!
Looks beautiful! The paint color is unique as well!
Thank you so much love 🙏🏼💙
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.
Thank you so much! Yes, it’s an easy DIY. Here’s the link to everything I use in case you need it amzn.to/3TTLBGm
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.
Thank you so much and good luck on your project! :)
My gosh I wish I would have found this video years ago. This looks so good😍😍😍
Thank you so much love🙏🏼💙 Good luck on your projects!

🔥🔥🔥 very smart way to lay the panels .
Thank you!
This is so frigging clever! Wicked simple and useful idea.
Thank you so much 🙏🏼
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. 😄😁
The privacy film idea is brilliant! Thanks for watching 🙏🏼💙
This is AMAZING!!!! So simple! Thank you for showing! :) Will gladly be using this method ☺️
Thank you so much 🙏🏼 good luck on your project
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!
Yay! Congrats on your new home 🙏🏼💙 and thank you so much
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!
Hello, have you used the cardboard? How is it holding up? Any tips?
Hey! So sorry for the late reply. THANK YOU SO MUCH 🙏🏼 How did your project come out? The cardboard is interesting, I would think it’s a little too thick?
This video is so perfect and such a smart solution to carpet in rentals!!! Thank you!!!
Thank you so much for the kind words, I appreciate it 🙏🏼
The best DIY EVER!!! I will do that already put everything on my Amazon basket!!! Thank you so so much!!!!❤❤❤❤❤

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. ❤

Thank you Ida...! its amazing thanks for sharing
Wow! Excellent idea! This is a lot easier! Thanks!

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 !!!

Thank you so much🙏🏼💙
Wow this is genius.It looks beautiful
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".)
love this! definitely will be redoing my flooring.
Thank you so much🙏🏼💙 Good luck with your project!

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.
Hey doll, thank you so much! Cleaning hasn't been an issue. I use a small vacuum and then stiffer jet to mop.
@@IdaAlexis thank you !!
@@desssybee Here's the update & removal video ruclips.net/video/gQe14yFWmPQ/видео.html
Love it. Gonna do this in living room, and other rooms
Thank you so much!
@@IdaAlexis I tried yesterday it does look good but it’s long
I started in dining room which is connected to my living room. I will try to finish no later than Wednesday. Very inexpensive.
@@aminahdakiyai6528 Woo hoo! send me before and after pics if possible :)
@@aminahdakiyai6528 Did you use carpet tape on the entire carpet or just the perimeter, then connect the middle with duct tape (like the RUclipsr did)
You’re a god send!
Aww thank you love! Hope it helps 🙏
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.
hey! thank you so much 🙏🏼💙 I vacuum & use swiffer to clean. the wet pads get the job done better than mop for this set up. I would be careful and avoid too much liquid
6 month Update | removing tiles- @
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
Hey love, I wouldn't recommend doing it on a thick carpet because it will most likely squish. I saw another video where they added a layer of wood and then put flooring over a thick carpet.
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.
This is Amazing! i was wandering if i can also do this in my living and dining room?
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

Thank you!
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.
Hey! Thanks for watching 🙏🏼💙 The floor was pretty solid for mw bc it was a very low pile carpet. I would be careful with a higher pile carpet because it won't sit as flat. What area of your home is this for?
Thank you for idea! ☺️

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 ?
Thanks love! & its holding up pretty well. It feels normal when you walk. The only thing I noticed not to do is walk on it with really pointy heels lol
For a DIY 100% worth it
Here's the update & removal video ruclips.net/video/gQe14yFWmPQ/видео.html
I did tried this- but I think it will depend on the kind of carpet you’re covering. We had the one that is still kinda new it kinda dip when stepping/walking on it. :(
This is amazing thank you so much 💗💗💗🥰
Thanks love! I really appreciate it :)
@@IdaAlexis of course 🥰🥰😘

@@IdaAlexis okay 🥰🥰❤️
Thank you ❤!
I hate my carpet. Your way of doing it its great. I'm gonna give a try soon
Thank you so much! Good luck with your project
@IdaAlexis what would happen if someone spilled water on the panels?? Would the carpet under the panel get wet too???
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!
Thank you so much 🙏🏼 YES! try it out and let me know how it comes out!
But how long does that last? What about where the butt joints meet? Do they not crinkle up over each other over time because of the poster underneath? I like it but I don’t see this lasting very long, or at least there would have to be maintenance done on it over time.
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?
I will say that it probably wont matter honestly. Because if you didnt have the planks, then whatever gets spilled would have just fully spilled onto the bare carpet lol.
Hey love, not sure how I missed this comment! Definitely avoid spills, but even if you spilled a little its not the end of the world. Also for cleaning, vacuum & use swiffer wet pads instead of a mop
@@IdaAlexis thank you.
Thanks for doing this
Thank you so much 🙏🏼
I’m definitely trying this! But wait I have one question. I’m kinda concerned about spills. Like if I spill water on the floor, will it get under the tiles and make the carpet mold? Or am I just overthinking about being paranoid?😭
Hey love, thanks for watching🙏🏼💙Lol no its a good point. Definitely avoid spills, but even if you spilled a little its not the end of the world. Also for cleaning, vacuum & use swiffer wet pads instead of a mop
@@IdaAlexis ok that makes sense! Thank you!🙏🏾💜💜
Incredible
Thank you so much 🙏🏼💙
so how did you do the doorway? I'm wanting to do my living room I have a transition from the living room into the kitchen. any video on that would be appreciated. beautiful job great idea thank you
Hey! Thank you so much 🙏🏼 you can use a “transition strip” they even have peel and stick options on Amazon amzn.to/3Qby64M
Nice Job!
Thank you so much 🙏🏼
Love this. Couldn't tell from the video is the floor soft to the Touch ? Could I put a salon chair on it? Trying to add flooring over carpet for a home salon
Thank you! It's pretty sturdy. I have a bed, chairs and other bedroom furniture on it but its its super heavy it will leave a mark.

Is it holding up? I'm going to do this but I was going to use 1/4" plywood sheets, not foamcore... but if it works then idk maybe I'll do what you did.
Hey Sarah, if you have the option of adding plywood I say go for it! it’s holding up pretty good but there is some lifting. I wanted to avoid using plywood tho so it works for me :)
