There’s something magical about summer light flooding your home and skylights offer the perfect way to capture that warm, sunny glow. Whether you want to create an airy, open feel in your living room or brighten up a dark hallway, installing a skylight can bring the outdoors in and transform any space. In this blog, we’ll explore some inspiring skylight ideas and share some skylight photos to help you embrace natural light with stylish skylight designs for your house.
#1 Chic Renovated Bathroom Skylights
If you’re looking to brighten up your bathroom during a renovation, consider adding modern glass skylights. Not only can skylights let in more light and fresh air, improving ventilation and enhancing the overall look of the space, but in smaller bathrooms, they also offer the flexibility to remove windows without sacrificing access to natural light. Better still, if you choose a Keylite or INFINITI product, the included UV glazing will prevent any fading or discolouration of your new bathroom fixings.
#2 Windowless Bathroom Skylight Solutions
We all know a dark bathroom, where the window has been foregone to squeeze an extra bathroom in the home. But these rooms can often feel very claustrophobic, musty, and are usually poorly ventilated. Sun tunnels, a form of flexible skylight, are an excellent option in these instances, providing sunlight that can help minimise the risks of mould and mildew.
#3 Natural Light Flooded Family Room
The living room is often the space where families come to congregate and spend the most time together, so why not make it more welcoming by adding a skylight? In this striking Byron Bay living room, a vaulted ceiling has created an open, cosy space with abundant natural light. The skylights chosen for this room are electric Keylite skylights with solar blinds. At the touch of a button, these skylight blinds close, allowing for total and efficient control of the light levels of their room.
#4 Skylight Trio in Raised Ceiling Nook
Light pours into this beautiful living room, making it a brighter and more welcoming space. The raised ceiling in this room helps to create a sense of dimension and focus in the open-plan interior, and combining it with skylights makes a striking focal point. This design features openable Keylite skylights, which allow for increased ventilation of the room. By opening these windows, heat can exit easily and every cooling night breeze is able to flow directly indoors during hotter summer days.
#5 Interior Design-Forward Living Rooms
Open plan living rooms are a stunning feature of modern homes, but they can often leave spaces of the interior in the shadows. Because of this, it is important to create defined spaces and provide ample sunlight to these areas. This unique design features a custom skylight in this void space, providing the ceiling with character while allowing more light into the room. When considering installing a skylight in your home, think about the layout of your room and how much of your space is in the dark.
#6 Dreamy Walk-In-Robe Skylight
The interior design work is exceptional in this sunlit walk-in wardrobe. This striking space features a custom-made circular skylight, turning this from a regular dressing room to a sunlight bathed oasis. Whether your space already has a window, adding a skylight can help you to maintain your privacy without missing the sunlight when closing your blinds. If you are wanting to enhance your walk-in robe, choosing to install skylights is a great way to add a premium feel. Just be sure to select options that include UV glazing and protection, or you might end up with a faded wardrobe!
#7 Architecture Brilliance with Kitchen Skylights
Clever principles of interior design meet kitchen aesthetics with this premium skylight duo. The specific angle of pitching and the placement of the skylights in the rafters, helps to direct the sun where needed, making perfect task lighting. This means the island is drenched in sunlight when preparing meals and cooking, for a kitchen designed with aesthetics and functionality. The skylight design is complemented with the hanging pendant light, as this brings together all elements of artificial and natural light in the space. This design has also favoured openable skylights, which are the ideal choice for kitchens. An opening in the roof allows you to ventilate the room from odours, smoke, and steam, allowing fresh air to enter and fill your space.
#8 Modern Skylight in Older Entryway
Dark and old spaces are no more with this stunning contemporary skylight. This building combines elements of modern and classic, keeping the character of the home while working to enhance its natural beauty. Providing a mesmerising window to the sky, the skylight bathes the whole space in natural light. This design highlights how much our team can help you create your vision, from the initial consultation to the final install. Combining two interior styles in such a successful way showcases just one of the endless possibilities that you can expect from Natural Lighting Products’ professional service and quality skylights.
#9 Elegant Hallway & Stairwell Skylights
Have you ever considered adding a skylight to your staircase, hallway, or landing? A skylight addition in this space provides a brighter appearance to your interiors, giving the illusion of higher ceilings, and flooding the stairwell with enormous amounts of natural light. This stunning skylight design is complemented with the pendant light installations hanging from the ceiling, working to infuse extra character and light into the space.
#10 Glass Roof in Sunny Hallway
This premium glass roof skylight is a custom design, made and installed by our team, with the vision by one of the many contractors we work with. The design team couldn’t avoid having a long corridor without windows, but did not want to settle for a dark hallway. They looked to us for our expertise in adding a customised glass skylight in place of the roof and ceiling. The window to the outdoors creates a sun filled hallway that feels like a broad, open space during the day and creates a moody moon-lit walkway at night.
#11 Open Bedroom Skylight
Reset your circadian rhythm with all the benefits of the sunlight and a pair of bedroom skylights. Choosing to place these skylights right over the bed creates an incredible focal point in the space, drawing the eye to the quality interior design. During the day, skylights above your bed mean you can relax in a flood of sunlight, and stargaze at night. We recommend adding solar blinds to any roof windows in the bedroom just to ensure that you have more control over the light level. The opening windows chosen for this space help to ventilate the bedroom, which can often harbour mould and mildew.
#12 Timber Panel Loft Skylights
Choosing to install skylights in your home can breathe new life into an otherwise dark and unused loft space. The loft area in your property may not have access to a window, making it an underutilised space in your home. Adding a skylight to this area can transform it, flooding it with light and making it warm and welcoming. In this particular home, the skylights aren’t even directly placed in the loft, but over the wider living space. This just goes to prove how adding skylights to one area of your home can uplift and accentuate more spaces in your interior.
#13 Sky View Dining Room Skylights
Imagine dining under the night sky or indoors while drenched in natural light. This striking skylight set showcases a great sense of design, with the symmetry of the placement matching the existing door and window. The bright and light addition of these skylights works to create a feeling of bringing the outdoors to the interiors, for a seamless transitional space. The scale of all the roof windows chosen for this project highlight the team’s understanding of space, creating a perfect balance of size and space between each wall.
#14 Glazed Glass Roof Patio
Have you ever wanted to add a patio cover, but worried that this would block your the sunlight access to an external window? We have the ultimate solution: choosing a glass roof. Choosing to install a glazed roof provides a showstopping statement to your house and expands upon your interiors, giving you further living space. Using the same clever technology we use for our skylights, glass roofs reduce heat gain, light glare, and UV rays. This gives you a full vision of the sky without some of the worse effects you can experience.
#15 Attic Space Conversion with Skylights
Anyone who has an attic space has thought about converting into a new room, at least once. If you looked further into it, you may have found that any usable attic wall is not high enough to accommodate a window. This is where skylights can come in. Adding a skylight to your attic and providing natural light to your space can actually enhance your capital by providing more living spaces. Adding a skylight can give the illusion of a higher ceiling in your interiors, making a bright, light, and welcoming new attic room. This allows you to use it as an extra living room, a children’s playroom, or even a new bedroom.
