Assume/ing the room is rectangular, measure the length along one wall in feet and the length along another wall that meets it, also in feet, and then multiply the two measured lengths together.
If you have an odd shaped room, for example it may be L shaped, split the room up into rectangles, measure and calculate the area of each rectangle, and the area of the whole room is the sum of the areas of the rectangles:
.............................................
...------................-----.........
...|.......|................|.....|........
...|.......|................|..A.|........
...|.......|.......-->...|......|........
...|.......----...........|--------...
...|............|...........|...........|...
...|............|...........|....B.....|...
...|............|...........|...........|...
...---------............---------...
Area of the L shape[d room] on the left is the sum of the areas of the rectangles A & B on the right.
If you are looking to buy carpet, it is normally sold in rolls of nominal width 13'2" (4m) or 16'5" (5m) and you have to buy in lengths of the full width of the roll.
A 4m wide roll at 5.99 a sq m equates to 4 x 5.99 = 23.96 per metre of length.
So if your room is 8' x 12', the minimum you would need is 8' (about 2.5m) from a 13'2" (4m) roll which would cost 2.5 x 23.96 = 59.90 (from the above carpet).
