One of the easiest and one could say more design-focused techniques is to use furniture to anchor these rugs down,' agrees Tara Gilson of Uber Interiors.

If you have a rug that keeps moving around on your floor, you’ve got a few different options to keep that sucker in place.And when you decide to switch it out with another rug of your choosing, make sure that you choose one that has a non-slip backing for extra friction.

The best solution to this is a non-slip rug pad or rug tape to hold rugs in place — especially in high foot traffic areas.She graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in English and Creative Writing from the University of Chichester in 2016, before dipping her toe into the world of content writing. Some rug tapes might struggle if you’re applying them to a high-pile carpet – so it’s worth testing the tape in a discrete spot of your carpet beforehand to ensure it sticks and to check that it doesn’t cause any damage,' advises Laura Rich, Product Developer for Furniturebox. Silicone is more durable compared to rubber when it comes to tapes and unlike rubber, it doesn’t leave a sticky residue. These shiny and sleek materials offer little in the way of friction, so rugs have no option but to slip and slide around the room.
