100 square feet is a 10 by 10 foot square. Picture a small bedroom with a twin bed, a dresser and not much else, or the most common mid-size self-storage unit.
It is a little more than two king beds side by side, and well under one parking space. If you stand in the middle of a 10 by 10 room you can almost touch two walls at once with your arms stretched out, since most adults have an arm span close to their height.
Where you see it: small bedrooms, home offices, walk-in closets, garden sheds, 10 × 10 event tents and storage units.
