Having spent 4 years fixing most of the house, we've had fairly expensive carpet fitted up the stairs.
The fitter 'upholstered' the bullnose part of the bottom step by pinning the top of the vertical over the horizontal on the nose. This has left a clear join which I think looks terrible. The boss is really upset so I'm under pressure to have things finished in an acceptable (to her) fashion.
The fitter insists this is the correct way to fit the carpet on a bullnose step, and his manager agrees. I agreed to wait to see if the pin marks and join 'calm down' over a few weeks. They have however said they'll do it the 'wrong' (fitted in two pieces, not upholstered) way if I remain unhappy.
I like the company and the fitter, so don't really want to get in a "you didn't do it how I wanted it so buy me a new piece of carpet" type discussion.
Does anyone have any suggestions of how else the carpet could be fitted on this step to make it look less ugly, bearing in mind none of the offcuts are big enough to fit.
Alternatively a method of making the upward facing overlap more bearable would be appreciated.
