How do I keep a rug from moving?
I have a small area rug (7.5'x5') placed over carpeting between my couches that constantly shifts. The recommended sticky products have not helped. Any ideas? I'm considering using 3 long screws at each end through the layers to the wood floor to secure. They look like round domed brads and would be underneath the furniture out of sight.

Adhere a non-slide scrim pad on the back of the rug. You can hand stitch it or use fabric glue or hot melt glue.
Since your flooring underlayment is probably Masonite or particle board or OSB, neither of those will hold a screw long term when the carpets flex when walked on.
You can purchase a non slip pad that is latex. I would recommend affixing to the rug for increase the chance it will work.
