Having insulated the old loft conversion properly I have been putting up plasterboard prior to get the plasterers in.

Now I want to make it as easy as possible, so not sure the best way to board around Velux window recesses. Rather than try and describe what I mean I have knocked up a simple sketch of the two options. I have assumed the first as it allows the plasterers to fit simple angle beads without worrying about the angle not being 90 degrees.

Opinions welcome

Option number 2 - a splayed reveal. Simple to fix and skim, and allows more light.
 
Well that certainly would be easier for me, but the reason I thought that simply splayed would be a problem is the corner protection and angle beads.

A bit more work for mto make it easier for the plasterer is OK. But if I really dont need to worry about the corners being 90 degrees (nearly) then I happy to splay it.

I guess there is no difference between an American and an UK aproach to this type of reveal?
