You don't need a wide span of open roof to take advantage of natural light—Sun Tunnel skylights come in 10" and 14" diameters to bring light down into hallways, closets, etc. This nifty solution is also great for rooms where you might not want the full aperture of a traditional skylight. With your choice of diffuser to evenly spread the light, there'll be no reason to use electricity when the sun's out!

If you want to flood your interior in natural light, invest in a one-story home to make it easy! Whether you have vaulted ceilings or not, the roof/attic is all that stands between you and the sun. Take a look at House Plan 5013 and imagine what you could do with the open living space, the media room, or any of the bedroom suites. If contemporary luxury isn't your style, we have plenty more where that came from!
