When working with area measurements, especially in construction, interior design, or real estate, converting between square meters (sqm) and square feet (sqft) is essential. If you have an area of 12 square meters and want to know its equivalent in square feet, this guide will walk you through the conversion process clearly and efficiently.
Square meters (sqm) is the standard unit of area used in most countries around the world, especially those using the metric system. Square feet (sqft), on the other hand, is commonly used in the United States and some other countries that use the imperial system.

12 sqm × 10.7639 sqft/sqm = ? sqft
12 × 10.7639 = 129.1668 sqft
Therefore, 12 square meters is approximately 129.17 square feet.
