How Much Carpet Do I Need? A Simple Guide to Measuring

Carpet is typically manufactured in 4m and 5m roll widths, and because most rooms are not a neat multiple of those widths, there is usually some unavoidable wastage — plus allowances for chimney breasts, doorways and pattern matching.

Why DIY measuring can go wrong

Online carpet calculators can give a rough estimate, but they rarely account for roll direction, seam placement or awkward room shapes — which is why an inaccurate self-measure is one of the most common causes of underordering.
