How to Stop a Rug From Slipping
A rug that moves can be inconvenient and may create a trip risk. The appropriate solution depends on the rug backing, floor surface and room.
Use a suitable rug pad or underlay
A correctly sized non-slip rug pad can help some rugs stay in position. Make sure it is suitable for both the rug and the flooring material.
Check rug placement
Furniture can help anchor a rug in some layouts, but avoid creating raised edges or obstructing walkways.
Keep surfaces clean
Dust and debris can reduce grip. Keep the floor and underside of the rug clean according to their care instructions.
