How to Find the Right Rug Size for Your Space at Landry & Arcari

Updated

Landry & Arcari organizes part of its catalog by room size, so the fastest route is to start from the "Shop by Size" entry and the 10x14 rug collection rather than browsing style first. That approach works if you already know your room's dimensions and want a rug proportioned to a large living or dining area. If you are still deciding on style, the same site lets you filter by collection (wool and silk, vintage, antique Heriz and Serapi) after you settle on size.

Start with the room, not the rug

Measure the open floor area you want the rug to cover, then compare it against standard size categories. The site's size-based navigation is built around use cases: the 10x14 collection is described as a way to "enhance a spacious area," which points to large living rooms, open-plan spaces, or dining rooms with a full table and chairs.

A practical rule for common rooms:

  • Living room: a rug should sit under the front legs of all seating, or fully under the furniture if the room is large enough. A 10x14 suits a generously sized seating group.
  • Dining room: allow roughly 18–24 inches of rug beyond each table edge so chairs stay on the rug when pulled out.
  • Bedroom: a large rug should extend past the sides and foot of the bed; smaller sizes work as accents at the bedside.

These are general sizing conventions, not store-specific rules. Confirm final dimensions against your own measurements before ordering.

Use the size and collection structure on the site

The homepage presents two parallel ways to narrow down:

Entry point What it gives you Best for
Shop by Size / 10x14 Rugs Rugs grouped by dimensions, including large-format pieces Rooms where size is the fixed constraint
Featured collections (Luxury Carpet, Wool & Silk, Antique Heriz & Serapi, Vintage) Rugs grouped by material and style Rooms where look and material come first

If size is settled, go to the size category and then compare within it. If style is settled, open the collection and check the listed dimensions on each product.

Read the product listing for size and price signals

Individual listings show the rug name, construction, and price. From the new arrivals shown on the site, examples include:

  • Samarkand Handwoven Tribal Rug, J89839 — $3,600
  • Samarkand Handwoven Tribal Rug, J89835 — $2,500
  • Gabbeh Handwoven Tribal Rug, J89861 — $1,100
  • Kars Handwoven Tribal Rug, J89843 — $2,500

Prices are listed per rug with a unit price shown per item; the site does not indicate any size-based pricing formula, so treat each price as tied to that specific piece. Check the dimensions in the listing itself, since the excerpt above does not state them.

Verify before you commit

  1. Measure your room and mark the intended rug footprint with painter's tape.
  2. Match that footprint to a size category on the site.
  3. Open individual listings in that category and confirm the exact dimensions and price.
  4. If you are between sizes, size up for living and dining rooms where furniture should sit on the rug.

Common sticking points

  • Browsing by style first: you may fall for a rug that is too small for the room. Start with size if the room is fixed.
  • Assuming a collection equals a size: collections are organized by material and style, not dimensions, so always check the listing.
  • Ignoring the "spacious area" framing: the 10x14 category is aimed at large rooms; using it in a small room will overwhelm the space.

For shoppers in New England, the site also notes showrooms alongside online shopping, so you can confirm scale in person if a size is borderline.
