Your room in 3D – with real sunlight
Enter room and window sizes, pick place, month and time: the sun position is calculated and mashrabiya patterns cast real shadows into your room.

Do it yourself: 3 projects
Window film with a mashrabiya pattern
You need: static-cling film, spray bottle with water and a drop of dish soap, squeegee, utility knife, tape measure
- Clean the glass thoroughly and measure the window exactly; cut the film about 2 mm smaller.
- Wet the glass and the back of the film with spray water.
- Lay the film on and squeegee out bubbles from the centre outwards.
- Trim the edge neatly and let it dry – the film peels off again without residue.
Wooden lattice insert for the window recess
You need: plywood or MDF (6–10 mm), fretsaw or router, sandpaper, wood oil or stain, battens, mounting adhesive
- Measure the recess in three places and use the smallest value minus 3 mm.
- Print a pattern from the Pattern Studio, trace it and saw or rout it out.
- Sand the edges, oil or stain and let dry.
- Frame with battens and wedge into the recess – without drilling if possible.
Folding screen in front of the window
You need: 3 wooden frames or lattice panels, 6 hinges, screws, sandpaper, stain
- Plan a height of 160–180 cm and a panel width of 45–55 cm.
- Build or buy the panels, sand and stain them.
- Join with hinges in a zigzag – it stands without drilling.
- Place it 30–100 cm in front of the window; test the distance in the 3D room first.
Safety: work on ladders only with a secure footing. Keep cords of blinds and curtains out of reach of small children (strangulation hazard). In rented homes ask your landlord before drilling and check for cables with a detector. These are suggestions, not professional advice.
Your cut list – from crafting to buying
Guide values from your inputs – always measure yourself before buying or cutting. Buy ready-made or get the material: matching products are listed below.
Simplified simulation: the sun position is calculated astronomically (northern hemisphere); light, materials and furniture are an approximation, not a measurement. Always measure your window yourself before buying.
