What better way to bring in natural light than a gorgeous wide window? Or a skylight? 

Considering how much time we spend indoors, it is very important to think about creating a healthier, more natural living environment. Using natural light in interior spaces has many benefits, from boosting your mood, to increasing personal productivity levels to reducing energy costs. 

What better way to bring in natural light than a gorgeous, wide window? Or a skylight? Natural light and fresh air improve our quality of life. 

But sometimes there simply is not enough room for a big window or a big door. So, when you get an opportunity to re-design and remodel, think about creative ways to incorporate windows, doors, skylights and sun tunnels into your design. 

Kitchens are one of the most popular, busiest and most desirable spaces in every home. It is where families spend much of their time. Imagine how much happier you will be spending that time in a bright and airy space. 

Here are a few options for bringing natural light into the kitchen.

Windows

This kitchen was designed in a way that brings as much sunlight indoors as possible. And with wide glass comes other benefits, such as gorgeous views, a feeling of comfort and a sense of harmony with surrounding nature. 

Skylights

A skylight is a non-traditional window that, as its name implies, looks up to the sky and is usually placed on the roof of a building. Skylights are typically fixed, meaning that they can’t be opened or closed, but occasionally skylights are operable or even completely retractable. They can be an extremely effective way to promote natural light, especially in spaces that don't have any traditional windows. 

Sun Tunnels

Sun tunnel skylights bring natural light into even the darkest and most isolated spaces through a specially designed tunnel that passes from roof to ceiling. They are perfect for compact spaces, so if your kitchen is small and dark, sun tunnels are the best option for lighting up an interior. And you can enjoy the nighttime bonus — moonlight and a starry sky. 

Remember, sunlight and fresh air are not just nice to have, they are also an excellent way to brighten your mood and save on energy costs. Let’s design and build a space that is healthy and harmonious for you and your family.
