A 14 × 15 room: 210 square feet for a living room
Fourteen by fifteen comes to 210 sq ft. It is big enough for a full seating group facing a fireplace or a TV wall, with a walkway behind the sofa. Put down a 9 × 12 ft rug and 2.5 ft of floor shows on the long sides and 1.5 ft at the ends. Corner to corner the room is 20.5 ft.
Carpet is the material to ask about. A 12 ft roll leaves a 2 ft strip to seam along one wall, while some carpet lines are also made 15 ft wide, which would cover this floor in one piece, so ask what widths the style comes in before ordering about 37.3 sq yd. Plank flooring is 12 boxes of 20 sq ft. For paint, 58 ft of wall at 8 ft high is 464 sq ft, 413 sq ft to paint, and 2.36 gallons for two coats.
