So if I'm looking for someone to decorate my room and I want someone with a good design sense can I say:

I'm looking for someone with a full room meter to decorate my room.

Hi,

No, the whole reference to a 'meter' is highly idiomatic and best avoided by English learners.

Hm, I guess I'd eventually grasp it once I develop a further understanding of the language. Anyway, thanks Clive.

Hi,

The purpose of a meter is to measure something.

You can use the term figuratively (and casually) to refer to something that can be measured.

eg my happiness meter

eg my unhappiness meter
