How do you calculate how many tiles needed for a room 14x14?

Answer 1

How many 12x12 tiles do I need for a 14x 14

Answer 2

You need to work out the tiling pattern first. Sometimes you can start with a whole tile in a corner, but often the pattern looks better if you have the same size part tiles all the way round - if the whole area is visible, part tiles one side and whole the other looks odd, particularly with large tiles. You also want to avoid a row at the edge that is very narrow part tiles. Work out how many part tiles are needed and how many tiles they must be cut from. After that, calculate the area to be covered in whole tiles and divide by the area of a tile, altghough most boxes of tiles state the coverage - something like 12 tiles per square metre or whatever. Then add 10% to the total. You will often have to buy complete boxes too.
