Place small area rugs under end tables. Place larger pieces of furniture, such as sofas and dining room tables on top of large area rugs.
Turn a sofa or a chair with wheels on its side. Measure the circumference of the sofa or chair wheels. Cut rubber shelf lining paper to the same measurement. Wipe the wheels clean with a rag. Apply the rubber circles to the wheels, and press down firmly to secure the bond. Place a rubber mat under chairs with wheels such as computer chairs.
Place round furniture coasters under sofas or other furniture with wheels. Place the coasters under each wheel to keep the furniture from moving on the hardwood floors.
