Area formula

A rectangle is length × width. Add every room. 12 ft × 10 ft is 120 sq ft. In metres, 3.6 m × 3 m is 10.8 m². Closets and hallways count if you are buying flooring for them.

Odd rooms: split into rectangles and add them as extra rows. For paint or flooring, many stores tell you to add 10% waste. This page reports raw area only.
