Pick a room, a floor tile and a wall tile. Change the layout, grout colour and light, then order a sample of the pair you like.
Tile calculator
Measure in metres. For walls, use the tiled height and take off doors and windows. Every tile page also has a calculator that rounds up to full boxes or sheets for that tile.
Coverage per box or sheet is listed on every tile page.
