But once you’ve decided to get skylights, you may be wondering, “what are the best places to install these skylights?” in your home.
Here are the top five places where skylights can really shine:
While skylights can certainly fit nicely into any room, there are a few specific areas where they truly have the ability to make a statement.
The kitchen is a main gathering place for many families. Therefore, it’s one of the best places to put a skylight. They create a visual effect that can make a room that’s often crowded look a bit bigger and brighter.
Also, adding a skylight will add more natural air ventilation in a space where it’s really needed. The heat and odors from cooking will be able to escape easily. Better yet — skylights don’t take up the wall space that traditional windows do, so you can have more room for storage.
Skylights are a great addition to bedrooms because they offer the best of both worlds in terms of natural light and privacy. If you’re looking to start your day with some sunshine, you won’t have to worry about covering any windows up with blinds while you get ready.
And let’s not forget to mention, what better view than a sky full of stars to fall asleep to?
Similar to the kitchen, bathrooms are another place where skylights’ ventilation features are especially useful. Due to their closed-off layout, bathrooms easily build up moisture. This can lead to mold, water damage, and mildew that is bothersome to live with and costly to fix. Skylights can help to mitigate some of that humidity, while offering the light you want, and the privacy you need.
Although they’re not technically a room, hallways are a great place for skylights. They’re places that are often forgotten about, and therefore don’t showcase many design elements — but they could!
Adding a skylight can make a hallway just as functional and stylish as the other rooms in your home. Hallways are also a great place to incorporate more natural light to flood through the home.
Many homeowners transform their attic into another living area if they don’t need the extra storage space. They can be transformed into another family room or bedroom. However, if you choose to do this, one of the main issues you may run into is lighting.
A skylight is a great way to add natural light into this dark space and make it more comfortable. Then, not only do you have a unique room in your home, but unique design and functionality features to go along with it.
