I currently have a carpet that is coming a bit thread bare. It seems to be just in a high traffic area in my hall. You can just about see through the carpet to the floor boards underneath. Just wondering what other people may do in this instance, as I am unsure on the best course of action to take. I don't have a lot of money to spend on this so it may be a case of just lifting the carpet and sanding and polishing the floor boards, or simply covering with a rug of some sort. What would other peoples preferences be and is there any other solutions thet you could think of?
