How to Measure Your Room
For accurate calculations, follow these steps to measure your room:
- Measure the length and width of the room at the longest points
- For L-shaped rooms, break the room into two rectangles
- Measure any alcoves or closets separately
- Note any permanent fixtures that won't be covered
- Record measurements in feet and inches, then convert to decimal feet
Always double-check your measurements to ensure accuracy. It's better to measure twice than order twice!
