Rugs bunching & moving a lot!

[Anonymous]

I bought some fairly pricey and what I thought were nice rugs from the Kellogg Collection. They are pretty, but one keeps bunching up and the other is sliding around constantly. I'm so tired of having to straighten them out every week! The other rugs I have from another store don't do this. Could it be the flimsy pad underneath - although the pad does not seem to be moving - just the rugs. Anyone else with this problem?

Definitely get a different rug pad, and then if that doesn’t work some tape to attach the rug to the pad.

The rug pad could also be upside down.

Rug pad is not upside down and seems like a quality rug pad - could it be the rugs themselves?

No. I mean I don’t really know but I’ve never had that happen. If Kellogg installed them or had a contractor do it, call them to ask. Maybe they can bring a new rug pad and/or some tape.

double sided tape on each corner

You need a grippy rug pad. I don’t like the felt ones .

The bottom of the pad is grippy and the top is felt. They were all purchased from Kellogg Collection, but as we were redoing floors and painting, etc. they weren't directly installed by them - and since it's been well over a year from purchase don't think I can call them.

I will try the double sided tape - do I put that between the rug pad and the floor or the pad and rug. Is there a recommendation of a special kind of tape?

You can definitely call them, and you should! Does “grippy” still look like felt? Felt rug pads sometimes have a kind of clear coated side and a soft side. Soft side down.

If the rug pad isn’t moving, you put the tape between the rug pad and the rug. You can put it on the floor but it will be a pain when you need to remove it (goo gone required).

Probably you just need new rug pads but I also still suspect the rug pad is upside down. It might be worth trying to flip it.
