# How to Keep an Area Rug From Sliding
Area rugs make a nice addition to the décor of a room and can boast many benefits beyond aesthetics.
They can make the floor warmer so as not to have to walk on cold floors. They can help to protect your floors, or provide a softer place for kids to play. They are also a cheaper alternative to wall-to-wall carpeting. Keeping an area rug from sliding is an easy task and can help avoid unnecessary slips and falls or having a wrinkled rug.
