BedRoom: Area Rug on Carpeted Floor and Under the Bed
Comments (12)I did that in my guest room - no problem at all. The carpet is pretty low pile and the rug is a fairly thick sculpted type oriental. I have no pad under the rug. I also have a very short, dense wool oriental rug on the carpet in my living room. That also works fine. I have all these rugs on carpet because I moved from a house with wood floors to one with more carpet. I hope to get rid of the carpet someday when I feel like moving everything again. So then I will need the rugs and in the meantime I can't stand the plain beige carpet. In another room I have a thick wool runner that covers the width of carpet from the deck door to the wood floor in the dining area. It has no furniture on it that holds it in place so it ripples a bit. I need to find a way to keep it flat....See MoreThoughts on an area rug under eat in kitchen table

Comments (2)On vinyl you need to be sure that the pad (or backing on the rug itself) doesn't contain latex or rubber -- that can permanently discolor the vinyl. Also, if the back of the rug is rough (like sisal or another fiber), it can leave fine scratches on the floor over time. Ikea is a great source for anti-slip rug pads -- they have one that is a felt type so it adds a little cushioning, which is supposed to make your rug last longer. You do want an anti-slip pad, to help keep the rug laying flat and in place. I have their anti-slip mesh pad and it works well, but I am going to replace it with the felt anti-slip the next time they send me a coupon....See MoreCan you put an area rug under an off centered table?
Comments (2)Is the wall portion on the right side of the opening deeper than the left( the one your hutch is currently on). Looking at your pic it looks like it could be...? If that is the case I’d move the hutch ( or sideboard) to the opposite wall. If you keep the hutch, I’d find Another place for the sideboard as both seem to be too much furniture in the room....See MoreLinda
