Tip: Tips for Keeping Area Rugs from Moving

Keeping your rug in place is important to prevent falls. Here are a few options for keeping area rugs in place:

• Buy a non-slid rug pad at the store. If it is not the right size, cut it to fit, and place it under your rug.

• Use a roll of rubber coated shelf liner. Cut it to fit under your rug. Lay it on the floor and place your rug on top of it.
• If you have hardwood or laminate flooring, buy a good quality, double-sided tape and stick use it to stick your rug down. Some stores carry a tape specifically for this purpose.

Question: Area Rug on Carpet Bunches Up?

We have a very plush carpet and bought a round throw rug. The throw rug wants to curl and bunch up, because of the carpet, after we place the dinner table on the rug. Is there is a way of keeping the rug in place? Like a plastic chair protector for carpets. Thank you.

I won't be much help with your rug but maybe what I have ran into will save you some trouble. The strips on the bottom didn't work and were expensive for me.

We finally removed the rug off the rug and quit fighting its moving everywhere and flipping up on the corners.
