When it comes to increasing natural light and ventilation without sacrificing privacy, few household improvements are more worthwhile than installing a skylight. By working with qualified roofing contractors, you can install a skylight in almost any part of the house. Still, there’s no denying that some rooms stand to benefit more from this upgrade than others, so here’s a brief guide on your options.

Top 3 Skylight Locations

1. Bathrooms

To maintain privacy, many bathrooms have small or no windows. Unfortunately, this can make them feel dark and cramped. Adding a skylight will bring in much-needed natural light to make the room feel more modern and inviting. If you have roofing contractors install a venting skylight, you can also open it occasionally to release excess moisture and prevent mildew growth.

2. Loft Spaces

Converting an unused attic space into a usable loft is a popular home improvement project — but standard windows typically aren’t an option due to a lack of wall space. Roofing contractors can install a skylight in the ceiling to serve as a rooftop window. Whether the newly converted area will be used as an extra bedroom or a game room, the natural lighting will make the area more appealing.

3. Kitchens

Similar to the bathrooms, proper ventilation is essential for a kitchen. A ventilating skylight can release steam — or smoke if something gets burnt. A skylight will ensure even lighting for the entire area while leaving the walls available for kitchen storage.
