How to Measure the Area

To get started with measuring your area, you will need your tape measure (or digital measurer) and somewhere to record your notes. Feel free to use a pen and paper or the notepad in your phone to log your measurements. Before measuring, clear away any furniture that would limit your ability to measure your room. A clear space between the opposite walls you’re measuring is required so that there are no objects in the way of your measuring tape. To measure the distance between opposite walls, secure one end of your tape measure to the floor against one wall using tape or the assistance of a partner, keep the measuring tape straight until it reaches the next wall. Record the measurement reflected on the measuring tape once it touches the opposing wall in your phone or on paper. Repeat this process to find the distance between the other two opposing walls to determine the room’s length and width. If you are working with a digital measurer, the numbers you’ll need to record will be reflected on the device’s screen rather than the tape itself. When using a tape measure, ensure the tape is kept straight. The tape should not be bent, nor should you measure around objects.
