A long, winding drive and a lush leafy garden. Light and airy bedrooms and spacious kitchens. We all have a ‘shopping list’ of what our perfect home looks like and it’s a dream come true when we sign on the dotted line and finally make it our own. But when moving day rolls around, we’re often faced with daunting stark, white walls (and piles of cardboard boxes).
While a few potted plants, some cosy throws and a lick of paint are a great quick fix, they aren’t always enough to create a warm and welcoming vibe. What can we do to make our house feel like a home? The answer’s easy - invest in a luxurious skylight.
A skylight instantly transforms any empty property into a welcoming home filled with warmth and natural light. From giving you an extra boost of vitamin D to increasing the value of your property, here’s how a skylight could be just the ticket for your new home.
A helping hand to feel happier
If you’ve just experienced the rollercoaster of emotions that comes with moving house, a skylight is your best friend. If moving house has left you feeling frazzled, lacking in creativity or even just a little down in the dumps, all you need is a little vitamin D to get your moving day mojo back. That’s where a skylight comes in.
Known for its mood boosting properties and packed with the ‘sunshine vitamin’, natural light is something we all need more of in our hectic lives. A skylight can help to open up even the darkest and starkest spaces, allowing you to bathe in natural light - even while you’re unpacking.
Say hello to grown-up sophistication
While soft furnishings and greenery need to be refreshed every couple of years (or more often if you have an addiction to Pinterest), a skylight never dates. Loved by homeowners for their versatility, skylights are able to add both character to a new-build and modern charm to older properties.
Skylights can also help to alleviate almost all interior design problems. Whether your family room is more playroom than grown-up lounge or you kitchen feels more cluttered than cosy, a skylight is usually the solution. By opening up space and letting in light, a skylight can up the sophistication factor of your home in a heartbeat.
Add a touch of scandinavian charm
Over the past couple of years, scandinavian-style living has experienced an explosion in popularity, inspiring homes across the UK. It seems us Brits can’t get enough of bleached, wood, white colour schemes and minimal designs. Complete, of course, with natural fabrics such as shaggy sheepskins for the ultimate injection of ‘hygge’. With their sleek look, flat skylights in particular tick the box for this trend. Enhancing the decor with their minimal aesthetic.
Skylights also tap into another scandinavian trend, seasonal or ‘slow living’. Also known as ‘lagom’, this trend is all about spending time in nature and appreciating the small things. But appreciating nature can be difficult with the ever-changeable British weather. Luckily with a skylight, you can soak up the great outdoors without getting soaked.
Install your skylight in the conservatory and watch the seasons change from rustic autumn to hazy summer. Place your skylight in your bedroom and watch the sky come to life as it changes from sunrise to dusk. With a skylight, the possibilities of seasonal living are endless.
