変換方法 Square フィート to Square メートル
Simple Conversion for Real Estate and Construction
Get the FormulaA 1,500 square foot apartment in the US would be listed as about 140 square meters in Europe. Converting between these common area units is essential for international real estate, construction planning, and comparing space across different measurement systems.
Step-by-Step Conversion
Square フィート to Square メートル
- Find your area in square feet (e.g., 1,500 sq ft)
- Divide by 10.764
- Result: 1,500 ÷ 10.764 = 139.4 square meters
Square メートル to Square フィート
- Find your area in square meters (e.g., 100 sq m)
- Multiply by 10.764
- Result: 100 × 10.764 = 1,076.4 square feet
Conversion Table
| Square フィート | Square メートル | Typical Use |
|---|---|---|
| 100 | 9.3 | Small room |
| 200 | 18.6 | Large bedroom |
| 400 | 37.2 | Studio apartment |
| 600 | 55.7 | 1-bedroom apartment |
| 1,000 | 92.9 | 2-bedroom apartment |
| 1,500 | 139.4 | Average US home |
| 2,000 | 185.8 | Larger home |
| 2,500 | 232.3 | Large home |
| 3,000 | 278.7 | Very large home |
| 5,000 | 464.5 | Mansion/commercial |
Why the Conversion Isn't Intuitive
Many people expect that since 1 foot ≈ 0.3 meters, the area conversion would be similar. But area is two-dimensional:
- 1 foot = 0.3048 meters
- 1 square foot = 0.3048 × 0.3048 = 0.0929 square meters
- So 1 square meter = 10.764 square feet
The 変換係数 is squared, making 1 square meter much larger than you might expect—about the size of a small closet.

Common Room Sizes
| Room Type | US (sq ft) | Metric (sq m) |
|---|---|---|
| Small bedroom | 100-120 | 9-11 |
| Master bedroom | 150-250 | 14-23 |
| Living room | 200-400 | 19-37 |
| Kitchen | 100-200 | 9-19 |

| 1-car garage | 200-250 | 19-23 |
| 2-car garage | 400-500 | 37-46 |
Converting Property Listings
When comparing international real estate:
US Listing (in sq ft)
"1,800 sq ft, 3 bed, 2 bath"
Convert: 1,800 ÷ 10.764 = 167 sq m
European Listing (in sq m)
"120 sq m, 3 bed, 2 bath"
Convert: 120 × 10.764 = 1,292 sq ft
Note that European listings often don't include garage space, while US listings usually do.
まとめ
Converting square feet to square meters requires dividing by 10.764 (or approximately 10 for quick estimates). A typical 1,500 sq ft home equals about 140 square meters. Remember that area 変換係数s are squared compared to length conversions, which is why the numbers differ significantly from the simple 3 feet ≈ 1 meter relationship.
