"One of the most popular options is to use a non-slip rug pad. These pads are designed to grip both the rug and the carpet, preventing any movement. Additionally, you can use rug tape, velcro strips, or double-sided carpet tape to secure the rug in place."

"It depends on the type of floor double sided tape may stain or mark a decorative floor . You can get antislip rug mats or u can tape a heavy rubber underlay to the bottom of the rug this also works well on carpet"
