Woman ruins carpet in dye disaster

A viral online video shows what happened when a woman attempted to change the colour of her hallway carpet with dye. Her escapades left the carpet ruined, and her walls were stained.

Melissa Ashleigh wanted to refresh the look of her hallway by changing the colour of her carpet to a trendy dark grey. She did not want to spend money on buying a new carpet, so tried using fabric dye. She made a mess of the carpet with patches of uneven colour. The dye was not applied carefully enough and splashed onto her walls, causing unsightly stains. She must now buy a new carpet and paint the walls.

Melissa shared her room renovation disaster in a video on TikTok. She commented:

“So, this is the carpet, and these are the walls that I've ruined because I didn't use anything [to protect] up the sides. So yeah, it's going to need ripping out."

Some were amused by the video, commenting that dyeing the carpet was a good example of an action that is “instantly regretted.”

If you are after different colour carpets in your Chester or North Wales home, this video shows that you should not attempt to dye them. Ultimately, there is no substitute for installing a new carpet. A decent quality carpet is not cheap but will last a long time and is a terrific way to update the look of a room. A deep pile carpet has good insulating properties which help keep a room warm, saving heating costs.
