How to Keep a Scatter Rug From Slipping on Top of Carpet

Using Grip Pads

• 1

  Cut a grip rug pad so that it is 3 inches shorter and 3 inches narrower than your scatter rug. This will ensure that the rug pad doesn’t show. Use a sharp pair of scissors.

• 2

  Lay the pad over the area of the floor where you would like to place the rug. Smooth out the pad and press it into the hard floor so that it adheres to the floor and doesn’t slip.

• 3

  Lay the rug over the pad. Smooth out the rug.

Using Adhesive

• 4

  Lay the rug on your floor so that the backside is showing.

• 5

  Remove the backing off one side of the double-sided adhesive.

• 6

  Place adhesive rug grips on the edges of the rug and several in the center. Place them several inches apart.

• 7

  Remove the other side of the tape backing.

• 8

  Flip the rug around and press it into the floor. Ensure that you place the rug in the right place, as it is hard to adjust the rug once it has been placed on the floor.
