How to Measure a Floor Plan
Getting accurate measurements is the key to a smooth carpet installation. Following a clear process ensures you order the correct amount of carpet and avoid unnecessary waste or delays.
Below is a simple step-by-step guide to help you measure your floor plan correctly.
Sketch Your Room
Draw a rough outline of your space, including walls, doorways, windows, and any unusual shapes.
Measure Each Wall
Use a tape measure to record every wall length and label it clearly on your sketch.
Break Down Complex Areas
Split irregular rooms into smaller rectangles to make measuring and calculations easier.
Include All Spaces
Measure wardrobes, closets, and door recesses—these still need to be carpeted.
Add Extra Allowance
Add 5–10% extra to cover cutting, fitting, and waste during installation.
Double Check
Review all measurements before ordering to ensure accuracy and avoid delays.
