I have anchored the area rug with 2 legs of the sofa, so no sliding on either of them...

We did that too. Also put felt stick on pads on all chairs tables etc. Even sme large peices as curio cabinets that normally stay put got feltpeices. We did all this when we removed them from the rooms to be finished. It was a breeze pushing them in place. good luck loving wood!

I use some of that rubbery shelf liner & cut circles to fit under the feet of the furniture.
