We put the new carpet down on the landing a little over a year after we had moved in, this space remained untouched for another two and a half years. Like most areas in the house I have utilised it for a practical purpose (In this instance for my dressing table!), as we are short on space, so it seemed like the perfect solution to not having enough space in our bedroom. The light is also so much better, so it makes sense for when I am doing my make-up!
