Ah, what a happy little question! To find out how many yards of carpet you'll need for a 1000 square feet area, you simply divide the square footage by 9, because there are 9 square feet in a square yard. So, 1000 square feet divided by 9 equals approximately 111.11 yards of carpet. Remember, there are no mistakes, just happy little accidents!

The 12 x 20 foot room has an area of 240 square feet, and the 15 x 15 foot room has an area of 225 square feet. That's 465 square feet of carpet. But hold the phone. Carpet is generally sold by the square yard, and a square yard is 9 square feet (as 3 feet x 3 feet is 9 square feet). The 465 square feet of floor is 51.666... or 52 square yards of carpet. It might be necessary to buy some "extra" area depending on the width of the "stock" roll of carpet from which the desired pattern/color of carpet is going to be cut.
