Integrate Rooflights into Your Home’s Interior Design

Rooflights are the best way to introduce natural light into formerly dark and dingy areas of your home. What you do with that light when it falls into your space will be up to you. If you utilise it wisely it can become a key element of your décor. So whether you're planning a home renovation or just looking for a way to enhance the look and feel of your living spaces you'll benefit from reading this brief guide on how to integrate rooflights into your home's interior design.
Here are 4 ways you can employ natural light as a key element of your interior design:
1: By using them to create visual interest
Strategic placement of rooflights will allow you to use the light they provide to activate different aspects of your interior design. Place one over your dining area to create a focal point or install a series of small rooflights along a corridor to create a natural pathway or illuminate wall art.
2: Combine them with plants
Placing plants under a rooflight can soften hard lines in your décor while adding accent colour and enhancing the hominess of your living spaces. You can take things one step further by creating an indoor garden feature under the rooflight. Your friends will be green with envy (so to speak).
3: Take advantage of their decorative potential
The design potential of rooflights extends beyond the light they deliver. The rooflight frames themselves can be used to help bolster a more traditional interior or to complement an aggressively minimalist one. You can even install small-ish rooflights in a pattern that mimics or facilitates similar geometric features below.
4: Be smart about the surrounding areas
You are not confined to creating a simple white box around your rooflights. You can employ various materials such as exposed timbers in the roof to bolster a rustic decor or sleek metal frames to produce a contemporary streamlined look. You can echo whatever you have going on around the rooflight with complementary pieces of furniture to complete the look.
