An 11 × 14 room: 154 square feet with one long wall to use
Eleven by fourteen is 154 sq ft. The 14 ft walls are what set it apart from an 11 × 12: there is room for a bed and a desk on the same wall, or for a sofa with a bookcase beside it. An 8 × 10 ft rug shows 1.5 ft of floor on the long sides and 2.0 ft at the ends. The diagonal is 17.8 ft.
Carpet is simple here, because the 11 ft width fits inside a 12 ft roll: one 14 ft length, 18.7 sq yd, and no seam. Hard flooring is 9 boxes (169 sq ft with waste), best laid along the 14 ft direction. Painting covers 400 sq ft of wall at 8 ft, or 349 sq ft after openings: 1.99 gallons for two coats, bought as 2 gallons, with 0.88 gallons more for the ceiling.
