The most critical first step is to accurately measure the width of the bullnose edge of the stair landing. This measurement should correspond precisely to the width of the carpet stair tread installed on the step immediately below the landing. For example, if the stair tread is 35 inches wide, the landing carpet's edge should also be 35 inches wide to maintain visual continuity. Measure from the far left side to the far right side of the bullnose edge.

Let's measure our landing. We have our carpet stair treads installed. We have our painters tape. And we're going to get some measurements for our matching landing. Step one, the most important piece. Make sure that the width of your bullnose edge matches the width of your carpet stair tread that's just below. So, in this case, it's 35 in. You got to go from the left side to the right side.
