What else matters here
One hundred square feet is the reference room that everything else gets compared to. It is a small bedroom, a home office, a single storage unit, or exactly one roofing square, which is where that unit comes from in the first place.
The perimeter, 40 feet, is the number you need more often than the area. Paint is priced off wall area, which is perimeter times height, and baseboard, crown and flooring transitions are all linear. A 10 by 10 room with eight foot walls has 320 square feet of wall before the door and window come out, which is three times the floor area.
What this calculator assumes
- Length times width, times how many areas are that size. For an L shaped room, split it into two rectangles and run this twice.
- Square yards are square feet divided by nine, which is how carpet is still quoted in much of the country.
