Use an elevation to position exposed period fittings

Our Westhill bathroom combines a high-level toilet cistern, a freestanding bath and a traditional radiator. Dark painted walls and white metro tiles give the period fittings a clear background. When more than one fitting has a visible vertical outline, their positions can affect the room as strongly as the choice of finish.

We can show you the toilet and cistern drawn at their full height together with the radiator and the wall finish change. Compare what sits above, below and beside the painted and tiled areas. If a fitting or exposed connection crosses the tile edge, decide how that crossing should look while the tile layout can still be adjusted. Drawing the period details at their actual size helps the different pieces feel like part of the same room instead of several objects chosen independently.
