Skylights introduce warmth, light, and character into a home. With the help of a roofing contractor, you can install these almost anywhere in the house. If you need ideas, use the following guide for inspiration for your project.

Where to Place a Skylight in Your Home

1. Finished Attic

If you’ve converted your attic into a guest room or personal space, add a skylight to introduce some light. This way, you can save money on wiring for lighting fixtures.

Hinged options can also be opened to let cool air in. The ventilation and natural heating and cooling will help you cut down on HVAC costs.

2. Family Rooms

If you want to enhance your family room or entertainment areas, add rows of skylights to the pitch of your roof. These will open up the space, providing ample light and views of the night sky.

Pay attention to the direction of the sun. If the room receives direct sunlight throughout the day, you can add electric roller shades and insulated products with UV-reflective coating to stay comfortable year-round.

3. Bathrooms

If you have a small, cramped guest bathroom, consider installing a skylight. The natural lighting will open up the space so it looks larger. If there’s a shower, a fixture that opens will help with ventilation, preventing mold and mildew. 

Skylights also introduce a unique luxury feature to this room. Since the glass is on the ceiling, it doesn’t compromise privacy.
