My method, recently utilised:
I don’t really care, it’s carpet. I want it to be good but cheap.
Neutral colour.
Measure room, then search eBay and the internet generally for offcuts / end of roll big enough.
NB rolls are either 5m wide or 4m, if your room is more than 4m in either dimension, a 5m wide carpet is likely to be cheaper, but do the maths.
Find an independent one man band local carpet fitter to do it, and in my case let him supply underlay.
My carpet was 100% wool* and £15 psqm, reduced from £40psqm. Underlay was £6psqm. You can buy underlay cheaper if you get it online too, but I ran out of time. Fitting varies on where you are, mine was something like £150 inc the underlay, I think I could have got the fitting cheaper too.
