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
- Keep bed and desk out of the entry path, with wardrobe access clear and a direct route to the door.
- Detail
- Use layered task and ambient lights with opaque window covering and lockable storage where appropriate.
- Trade-off
- A larger desk supports work but can consume the room’s open floor area.
- Check privacy from corridor and shared areas
- Measure personal storage and desk use
