A simple L-shaped kitchen needs 11 m² of coverage; the tile size and pieces per box determine the purchase estimate.
Dimensions and assumptions
The kitchen fits within a 4 × 3 m rectangle, but a 1 × 1 m corner recess is outside the floor. We use 60 × 60 cm tiles, four tiles per box, and an illustrative 12% allowance.
Net area
Outer rectangle: 4 × 3 = 12 m². Recess: 1 × 1 = 1 m². Net floor area: 11 m².
Tile count
Each tile covers 0.60 × 0.60 = 0.36 m². Including the allowance, coverage is 11 × 1.12 = 12.32 m². Divide by 0.36 and round up: 35 tiles.
Boxes
With four tiles in a box, round 35 ÷ 4 up to 9 boxes, or 36 tiles. This is a purchasing estimate, not a cutting plan.
What could change the total?
A diagonal layout, small edge cuts, grout joints and the possibility of reusing offcuts can change waste. Check the package label, product batch and installation requirements.
Result: 9 boxes under these assumptions. Draw the L-shaped floor in PisoExacto to substitute your own measurements.
