Selecting and Purchasing Carpet

Carpet Calculator

Step by Step Image

How much carpet will you need?
The dealer you decide on will send a professional to take exact measurements. But when you first go out carpet shopping, you'll need a rough estimate of your room size so you can plan your budget.

With a Tape Measure, Ruler or Yardstick:
If you have a tape measure, ruler or yardstick, measure the length and width of the room in feet.
(Remember, a yard is three feet.)

Note: The carpet calculator adds ten percent to your totals to account for closets and room irregularities. In general, it's a good idea to buy extra carpet to allow for cutting, seaming, and pattern repeats.

Remember, this is a rough estimate. A professional should measure whenever you are ordering or buying carpet.
