In this video
Based on the stair measurements, lay out the carpet and carefully cut it into individual pieces for each tread and riser. It's often recommended to cut the carpet slightly larger than the exact dimensions to allow for adjustments and trimming. Use a metal straight edge to guide a sharp utility knife for precise, straight cuts through the carpet backing. Ensure the carpet pile direction is consistent for all stair pieces.
