Nothing inspires homeowners like home renovation ideas from their family, friends, and neighbors. Whether they want to upgrade to bedroom, living room, or bathroom skylights, deciding to begin construction can be an intimidating decision for some homeowners. For those homeowners who are on the fence about skylights, a video can convey a sense of awe like nothing else.

1. Kitchen Skylights in a Colonial-Style Home

The homeowner instantly fell in love with the energy of this 1937 colonial-style home. She felt like there were ‘good bones’, but it was dark and needed more light to make it feel cozy. As she also works from home, the designer focused on adding more light to the space. Even though her client was adamantly against them from the start, the designer convinced them that adding skylights to the kitchen was the modern upgrade this home needed. The homeowner is now thrilled daily by the diffused light from the ceiling and the comfort of her work-from-home environment

 


2. Living Room Skylights for Empty Nesters

 These homeowners wanted to live in a walkable neighborhood, which is what they got when they moved to downtown Greenville, SC. For the builders, crafting a home for these homeowners was incredibly difficult. There was a very small lot. Getting light to the living space in the back of the house was not going to be easy. VELUX skylights turned out to be the perfect solution. They added abundant natural light while still maintaining the privacy the homeowners desired. As a bonus, their energy bill has been a fraction of what they used to pay. 

 

3. Hallway Skylights for a Modern Farmhouse

The architect wanted to recreate the feel and breeze that homeowners would find at the beach. She embraced the modern farmhouse design as she completely demolished an existing home and built a new one in its place. She emphasized sustainability by reusing much of the lumber from the original house. She also added a VELUX vented skylight to the top of the stairs. This allowed the warm air to vent through the roof while drawing cool air in through the windows.  

4. North-facing Bedroom Skylight in a Brick Home

After moving into their new home, the homeowners quickly discovered that the living room was too dark. Even though there were plenty of windows, the room faced north, restricting daylight. As an eco-friendly home upgrade, they installed three VELUX Skylight Systems. The room instantly became ‘airier and more in touch with nature.’ They enjoy just looking up and seeing the outside. As a result, they found themselves spending more and more time in the room.

 

5. Kitchen Skylights in a Ranch Style Home

 The homeowners found a fixer-upper project in the neighborhood where they grew up. With a segmented and closed-off feeling, they engaged in a full home renovation, taking down most of the interior walls. The one request the wife had for the husband was to install skylights in the kitchen. She absolutely loved the fresh air and daylight in the kitchen of their previous home. The new skylights also turned out to be the favorite view for their five-month-old daughter.
