We've got carpet in our hallway ...

Yes. There is spray on stuff.

I doubt that will be effective for a rug on carpet, for the reasons
already posted. Probably OK with a rug on a hard surface though.

I have a square of hall carpet placed on top of the fitted carpet,
and underneath the doormat to catch the worst of the dirt and wear
by the front door. This used to creep badly.

I put a piece of rug antislip material from John Lewis (own brand)
in between, and it hasn't moved in about 5 years. Fantastic stuff.

It's a thin matting material, with a tacky feel to it. I thought
the tack would come off quickly, but it hasn't (though it only
gets taken up every few months). The carpet is a berber twist with
hessian backing - other pile or backing types might not work
as well.

This sounds like the stuff we bought ...
