Loft room inspiration – create a usable space with roof windows

Loft spaces can be used for a myriad of things – bedrooms, living rooms, play spaces and home offices occupy lofts around the world. No matter how you use your loft room, adding roof windows will make you see your loft room in a whole new and bright light.

Benefits of adding more daylight

No need to turn on the lights. Letting in natural light from above will not only save you money on your electricity bill, but it'll also have a positive effect on your well-being!

Roof windows bring in twice as much natural light as vertical windows (LINK to article 18). They allow light to enter our homes more naturally, perfectly aligning the interior light with the exterior environment. This keeps us in sync with the 24-hour circadian rhythm and encourages our brain to produce serotonin, so we sleep soundly, wake up rested and think clearly — all of which are essential to our well-being.

VELUX solutions: Maximise the natural light in your loft room with the VELUX 3in1. The roof window is designed to offer you 23% more daylight compared to 3 individual roof windows of the same size. The 3in1 will improve the look of your loft room and make it feel brighter and more spacious - a real 'wow' factor!

Create more useable space

VELUX solutions: Adding solutions like a 3in1 roof window with one large frame makes the space feel bigger but also creates useable space underneath the window for things like a desk or storage.

Another great option is VELUX roof balcony. It opens in seconds, invites plenty of air and natural light into your home, and offers a nice view of the outside. With the top half opening like a traditional roof window, this innovative balcony goes from a roof window to a balcony.

Enjoy more views

Expand your view! Windowless spaces create monotonous conditions that can be stressful to some people. Navigate safely around this problem with roof windows. A view of the outdoors contributes to well-being, particularly if it is a nature scene or similar pleasing sight.

VELUX solutions: Open up to vast, panoramic views with the VELUX 3in1. With its width being twice the height, this brilliant window makes a visible difference. The frame profile is slimmer to expand your view.

And now that you're at it, also check out our VELUX top-hung roof window. A perfect choice for loft conversions. It's operated with an elegant handle at the bottom, gives a full and open view of the skyline, and maximises the amount of natural daylight allowed in.
