After cutting the rug pad to the appropriate size (one inch smaller than the rug on all sides), lay the rug pad flat on the desired area of your floor. Ensure it is smooth and free of wrinkles. Carefully unroll or place your area rug on top of the rug pad, aligning it so that the rug pad is centered beneath the rug. This setup ensures the rug lays flat, benefits from the pad's features like cushioning and non-slip properties, and reduces the likelihood of edge curling or tripping.
