What is bedroom square footage?
Bedroom square footage is the total floor area of a bedroom measured in square feet. Multiply length × width in feet. A standard 12 ft × 14 ft (3.66 m × 4.27 m) bedroom is 168 sq ft (15.6 m²). A master bedroom is 200-350 sq ft (18.6-32.5 m²).
Getting started
How to Calculate Bedroom Square Footage
To calculate bedroom square footage, measure length and width of the bedroom floor in feet. Multiply length × width for area. A 12 × 14 ft (3.66 × 4.27 m) bedroom equals 168 sq ft. Subtract walk-in closets and en-suite bathrooms from main bedroom area for accurate flooring orders.
2. Multiply for area
Multiply length × width to get total bedroom square footage. A 12 × 14 ft room equals 168 sq ft.
3. Plan flooring or carpet
Apply bedroom area to carpet orders, hardwood, paint coverage, and furniture layout.
Quick reference
Reference
1 acre = 43,560 square feet
1 square yard = 9 square feet
1 square meter = 10.764 square feet
1 square inch = 0.00064516 square feet
Material pricing
Calculate Cost of Materials
Bedroom carpet costs $3-7 per sq ft installed. Hardwood runs $6-12 per sq ft. Multiply bedroom area by the price per unit to get total cost.
There are 2 steps to calculate material cost:
- Enter the cost per square yard for carpet (1 sq yd = 9 sq ft) or per square foot for hardwood, laminate, or vinyl.
- The Square Foot Calculator multiplies bedroom area by the price for total material cost. Add a 10-15% waste factor for cuts.
A 168 sq ft bedroom needs about 19 sq yd of carpet. Always order an extra 10-15% for closet cuts and seam matching.
