Use Carpet Pads for Rugs
If your favorite rug is a little too thin for your liking, try using some carpet padding to solve the problem. We know you’re wondering, why not just use a rug pad instead. Well, carpet padding is generally thicker than a rug pad and more often than not, they’re cheaper too, so you will definitely save some money.
Some rug pads could also be abrasive to the flooring beneath so it’s a better option to use carpet pads that will ensure your flooring stays safe too. Sure, carpet padding isn’t exactly attractive but since it’s going to be hidden under the rug (or should we say swept under the rug), it’s not a big problem.
