Carpet usually comes in 12 foot widths. When there is a pattern to the carpet you've chosen and the room is wider than 12 feet, you'll have to buy more carpet than the size of the room.
There will need to be a pattern match with the piece(s) of carpet that will need to be seamed in. So, if one has to go with a pattern, choose a smaller one to reduce cost/amount of carpet needed to do the job right.
Also remember that the light source for the room (especially natural light from a window) will determine the direction the carpet is laid. The seam should be pointing toward the light. The other way will cast a shadow across the seam and it will show.
