A 13 × 14 room: 182 square feet, a foot off square
Thirteen by fourteen gives 182 sq ft in a shape that reads as square once furniture is in. That makes it flexible: the bed or the sofa can go on any wall without the room feeling like a corridor. A 9 × 12 ft rug sits with 2.0 ft of floor on two sides and 1.0 ft on the other two. The perimeter is 54 ft.
Both walls are longer than a 12 ft carpet roll is wide, so a carpeted floor here has a seam somewhere, and the fitter will usually put it away from the door and the window light. The quantity is about 34.7 sq yd. Plank flooring is 200 sq ft, or 11 boxes, and 201 tiles of 12 in would cover it with spares. Two coats on 381 sq ft of wall use 2.18 gallons (2 gallons + 1 quart).
