Measure the perimeter, and that is the total length of the perimeter of the room. This is important if you are replacing the baseboard.

To find the square footage of the room (also known as the area of the room), take the width measurement of the room and multiply that figure by the length measurement of the room. This is important and now I will tell you why. If you are replacing the carpet or any other floor covering, or even painting the ceiling, you will want to know the square footage of the room. And that is the way to do that.

Now suppose you want to know just how much paint to buy, with the intent of painting JUST the walls. Now I will tell you, and how. Take the total perimeter measurement and multiply that number by the measurement of the heighth of your walls. You will now know the total square footage of your wall area, and can speak intelligently to your friendly local paint salesperson with some level of confidence and ease. Some people like to subtract the window-area and door-area measurements, but I like to have some paint left over for the inevitable necessary touch-ups that come along with family life.
