I just blithely did a little search for you sue, thinking I would come up with all sorts of options, & I'm really dismayed to discover that the felt pads of yore are....well, just that....yore :( I have several pads made of felt & horsehair that I've had for many, many years - I had a huge horsehair pad that I just keep cutting to fit smaller rugs. And I expect them to last for many more years. Which is why I haven't had to shop for one for a long time. Everything now is synthetic, but the good news is that you can still find synthetic felt pads - hopefully they are no less damaging to your floors than the felt pads are. Still, check out your local rug dealers - the ones who sell area rugs, & see what they have. The problem with most synthetics is that they bond to your flooring & create damage that can be very hard to repair w/o resurfacing. And/or the pad is too thick & the carpet gets dents that turn into worn fiber. And/or the pad does nothing but keep the carpet from slipping & ruin the floor underneath at the same time. BTW, if your carpet is a thick one, you're probably better off w/o a pad. HTH, & good luck!

I agree w/the other posters to go 2 sizes up on the rug - I would rec taking blue painters tape & mask off an 8 x10 & 9x12 then ask non partisan parties to pull chairs out & sit at the table - you shouldn't be in the 1/2 off 1/2 on land. I ended up w/8x10 in a small DR 12x12 because of that very issue - we walk thru/on one section constantly - no issue Also if you are wanting more light in the room I would consider a lighter rug which would not only offer more light but also be more complimentary to the dark furnishings some quick look quick links http://safavieh.com/bigpic.php?item=GR420C http://safavieh.com/bigpic.php?item=MRK141A http://safavieh.com/bigpic.php?item=MRK103A http://safavieh.com/bigpic.php?item=MRK116B Their "old world" collection is reasonable cost wise & well made http://safavieh.com/bigpic.php?item=OW129A If you dare doing a little red http://safavieh.com/bigpic.php?item=OW115E http://safavieh.com/bigpic.php?item=P250C WOW Safavieh has collection at Target! http://www.target.com/b/ref=in_se_pagelist/184-1402763-5944241?ie=UTF8&itemsPerPage=53&node=702681011&pricerange=&index=tgt-mf-mv&field-browse=702681011&rank=pmrank&viewID=leaf&field-pricebin=&store=&size=53&rh=&page=1&fromBrowse=1 Good luck

A 6x9 rug is pretty large and pretty heavy. There really is no need for a rug pad underneath (at least not from the perspective of 'holding it place'. One of my favourite places to shop reasonably priced rugs: Ikea. They have HUNDREDS and they will have the backing listed as well as the fibre content. If you have an Ikea near you, you are welcome to visit (assuming they are open...most are with mask requirements of course). You can look at the back of the rug to see what it is made of.

Hi...seems ok... you've got same neutral color going from lightest to darkest, so you could add different kinds of colors / metals....? https://www.houzz.com/products/safavieh-hartwick-side-table-white-prvw-vr~56969759 https://www.houzz.com/products/woolly-mammoth-throw-blanket-burnt-orange-prvw-vr~51305261 https://www.houzz.com/products/herringbone-jumbo-over-size-faux-fur-throw-blanket-chili-pepper-60x80-prvw-vr~54957287
