How to keep a throw rug from slipping on carpet.

If you re buying opt for a rug with an anti slip backing. Stretch out your carpet. This will help in getting rid of creases so that the maximum surface area sticks. Roll out half of your carpet leaving the back of the carpet exposed.

Placing a nonslip pad under your area rug will help keep it in place and minimize the stretching that occurs when an area rug is on top of carpet. Stick the tape on the sides of the carpet. If you already have a rug attach your own slip proof material to the back. The taller the pile the more chance of this movement to occur but if the pile is very dense then the sideways movement can be reduced.

The dried glue is grippy keeping the rug in place. Stick double sided carpet tape to the underside of the rug. Leave the protective paper on the exposed side of the tape until you re ready to position the rug on the carpet and remove it carefully. Measure the length and width of your area rug.

Alternatively try rug anchors or pins. Unroll and leave out to stretch in the room you wish to place it. Apply the tape around the perimeter of the rug about 2 inches from the edge and then palace a few strips along the center for extra security. The adhesive is applied to the bottom of the rug then allowed to dry completely.
