Whether it’s a loft conversion, or a flat on the top floor of a building, when an area is dark and closed off, it will feel small and oppressive. To combat this, one excellent way to make a space feel enlarged is by adding in a skylight or multiple skylights (depending on the size of the space). Natural lighting is one of the key elements to making a space feel bigger, and simply being able to look up into the sky creates a feeling of space.
Skylights are also great for increased ventilation and airflow. This will help provide a ‘fresher’, more outdoor feeling which psychologically helps an area feel bigger. Through these aspects that activate the senses: light, smell, fresh oxygen and view of the sky, the aura of the space will feel much larger, even though skylights do not actually add a lot of physical space.
If you are looking for a way to open up your loft conversion, top floor flat or apartment, why not install a skylight.
