    Default 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

    This is a woodwork forum, Mark. How 'bout a nice timber threshold? Select a colour to match or complement the carpet. Stain if necessary.

    Carpet layers could stretch the carpet by that much.

    I think Joe has the right of it. Fairly easy to make and decorative.
    Cheers,

    Another idea would be a brass or ally strip but I would use wood.
