Curtain pocket in a coffered ceiling
A curtain track screwed under a finished ceiling is visible, collects dust on its face, and leaves no room for an LED wash — so the ceiling and the window never read as one designed plane.
Form a curtain pocket into the coffered ceiling, sized at construction stage, with the LED recess and thermal access coordinated into the same detail.
The pocket has to be dimensioned before the ceiling is boarded — it cannot be added afterwards. Coordinating it with the LED recess in one detail is what keeps the reveal straight and the driver reachable.
Written for planning, not construction. Confirm every dimension against your approved project drawings.

A pale carcass that sits directly on the floor shows the mop line — and it shows it at the eye level of someone seated, which is where people actually look.
JunctionsInternal corners in a panelled wall
A mitred internal corner in veneer opens up as the panels move, and once it opens there is no way to replace one panel without disturbing its neighbour.
