Worked example
Early morning light reaches the pillow around the edges of an existing roller blind.
Check the window recess and blind overlap; choose a side-sealed or layered treatment that still allows daylight control and window access.
How to test it
Test a fabric sample at the window during bright and dim conditions.
Apply it to this space
- Layout
