In the process of decorating (first room of this house and got a lot of practice with sorting out big cracks in dodgy old plaster - a tale in itself) and this place has rather deeper window recesses than the last. I have a fairly strong (slightly stronger than intended!) colour on the walls, bathroom suite is white, and plain basic white tiling around bath and basin. Tiling looks a bit naff, so I plan on white T&G panelling around the lower half of the room to tie the white tiles and suite all in together and lessen the impact of the tiling vs wall colour.
Window slightly overlaps the bath tiling and the basin tiling. Windowledge is also tiled in white. WC sits directly beneath the window. Recess is approximately one 'standard' square tile in depth (I'd guess 4, maybe 5"?)
I am considering whether to do the recess around the window in white matt, or same colour as walls (a reasonably strong yellow - dulux 'sunbeam' for any curious enough to look it up).
House is a fairly standard basic 1930's place, it has white upvc d/g fitted.
I'm after some opinions of whether leaving the recess white would look odd/naff/good or not - I just can't decide :-)
Cheers,
