You need to get a carpet to carpet under pad. You can get it anywhere that sells area rugs. If feels sticky but there's no glue involved. This will keep it from buckling and doesn't transfer the stickiness to either the carpet or area rug. Completely safe. Barnhart Gallery 9 years ago. If you like "the layered look" in your clothing, it's a yes for your home as well. Some will disagree, but it can be done tastefully.

Gabberts Design - That's my favorite layering treatment - four legged furry rug on top of a rug, on top of a rug! Like 9 Save. We really love the dogs too!

Click on the bench photo to see the Maitland Smith dog statue! Kelli Kaufer Designs 9 years ago. Penny Anderson 9 years ago. Looks like the verdict is "Yes! I put a blue cotton Pottery Barn rug over cream wall to wall and left a good two feet baorder showing around the edge.
It really pulled the room furniture in and together. Just remember to put a rug pad down. In my situation it was very good advise because the blue could have easily bled onto the cream carpet. All the best! Leslie Porter Original Author. Thanks so much for all the replies!!!
The wall to wall has a longer nap, would that make any differance of how the area rug would look? Mint Design 9 years ago. I would suggest the longer nap on the top rug I have never layered with the longer nap on the bottom. Not to say it can;t be done. Can you post a photo? To me is a must..!! Otherwise there is no division or focus to the area.. Cheryl Smith 4 years ago. I have tried but they always move even with a slightly sticky protector made to put between 2 rugs to stop this.
If using it in a room that you frequently walk through or move furniture as with dining room chairs it is futile they WILL move. Like 3 Save. Yes, I think rugs on top of carpet looks odd. Jeanne Hamilton 2 years ago. I am contemplating the same thing. I want a pop of color and my bookshelves are blue so was going to do a rug with blues. Anyone have thoughts? Kelli Kaufer Designs 2 years ago. Once you get the cabinet filled, wall art, accessories, ottoman and lamp it will look nice.
Hope this helps. Like 5 Save. Some reasons are compelling, such as:. But another reason people often overlook is that an area rug can add new color and texture to a space without requiring a complete redesign. While rugs can bring in color or interesting patterns, make sure the colors work with the existing carpet.
But if you do this, you may end up with clashing colors that detract from the harmony of the room, rather than adding to it. Rugs offer a way to introduce more pattern to a room for added interest. Striped rugs, especially two-tone rugs, are considered one of the easiest ways to add pattern. One or the other will work well. The key to layering rugs over carpet is to vary the texture. Area rugs generally work best over short-pile or looped carpet. In those cases, laying a thick, luxurious shag rug can add a softness and elegance to the space.
Likewise, if you have a plush style of carpet installed, choosing a low-profile Berber or woven rug is your best bet. When choosing the size and shape of your rugs, consider the size of the room and the placement of your furniture.
Consider two or three complementary rugs in various sizes and shapes to distinguish different areas in a large room, or pick a circular, oval or curvy rug to add variety to a room dominated by rectangles.
These types of pads are especially designed to help keep an area rug from shifting and rippling over the carpet. Additionally, they can help prevent damage to the carpet underneath.
