The transformative power of VELUX skylights in the living room.
The living room is the center of activity in many homes, so give it the design love it deserves. Natural light and fresh air from skylights can enliven colors, bring out textures, and boost moods.
Opening up Spaces
As rooms fill up with people, art, and activities, they can begin to feel smaller. VELUX skylight systems provide openness for an inviting space and increase the feeling of height and verticality.
Connecting to the Outdoors
Studies show we spend an incredible 90% of our lives indoors, and the most time is spent in the living room. Skylights help remedy that with a window to nature that lets in daylight and fresh air.

Frequently Asked Questions

Exposure to natural light supports your circadian rhythm, helps you feel more alert, and brightens everyday routines.
