Natural light transforms interiors, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere while reducing energy consumption. In Kerala homes, daylight, skylights, and strategic window placement are key to sustainable and visually pleasing interiors.
1. Maximizing Daylight
Large windows, sliding doors, and open-plan layouts allow ample sunlight to enter living spaces. Proper orientation ensures light without excessive heat gain, enhancing comfort in tropical climates.
2. Skylights and Roof Openings
Skylights introduce overhead light, illuminating central spaces and courtyards. Fixed or vented skylights also improve natural ventilation and create dynamic light patterns indoors.
3. Cross-Ventilated Windows
Windows positioned for cross-ventilation allow breezes to flow through interiors, naturally cooling spaces while maintaining a bright and airy ambiance.
4. Light-Reflective Surfaces
Using light-colored walls, ceilings, and reflective flooring maximizes the effect of natural light, reducing the need for artificial illumination during the day.
5. Blending with Tropical Design
Natural light complements Kerala’s tropical materials such as timber, laterite, and cane. It highlights textures and colors while maintaining a serene, inviting interior.
