Look at tall and low finishes in roof-window daylight

In our Kintore bathroom, dark fitted cupboards sit beneath the roof window, with a freestanding bath and a separate shower in the sloping room. A cupboard front beneath a window receives light differently from a surface beside the glass. The angle and location of the daylight influence which parts of the room carry the strongest contrast.

Show the cupboard fronts at their intended height on the elevation, with the adjoining floor and wall colours. Look again under the lighting you expect to use in the evening. A roof window can help you enjoy different qualities of the same finish through the day. Planning the colour in its intended position gives more context than choosing it in isolation.
