And the answer would appear to be 16x16, as about three people have told you by now. What part of 16x16 is it that you don't understand ?

 Or is the problem that you don't grasp the concept of counting squares on the figure to see e.g how deep the shelf is at various locations ?

 E.g the shelf going down the left wall seems to be about 2 feet deep, when compared to the size of the 12" grid squares in the drawing.

Page you links to says: "Size: 16 feet square"

On the drawing it says 12" grid and the room is 16x16 squares.

Looks to be a 16' x 16' room.
