With no source of natural light, this home office used to be lost in the dark. Design blogger Kathy Bulger, the creative mind behind Up To Date Interiors, used a single Sun Tunnel to flood the space with light, bringing out her eclectic design aesthetic.
Stairway landings are often ignored. This homeowner made the most of this pass through space with an art wall. Light color paint and blonde wood floors weren’t enough to lighten it up, so she added a Sun Tunnel at the top of the stairs.
Think it’s OK for your closet to be mired in darkness? Think again! Sun Tunnels are ideal for bringing natural light to the place where it’s most needed for seeing colors accurately. The guest bedroom closet in the 2020 This Old House Cottage on the Cape makes it easy to stay organized.
This neutral bathroom has natural light as its centerpiece, thanks to two Sun Tunnels over the shower. Design blogger, Almost Makes Perfect, wanted a big dose of daylight to bring out the details in the geometric rug, wood cabinets and brass hardware. The extra sunlight makes this space plant-friendly.

This bathroom is another case of small space, no windows. Adding a Sun Tunnel lightens up a clean, minimal design, while also saving the homeowner money on her electrical bill.
A Sun Tunnel over this bathtub keeps the room bright even when the window shade is closed for privacy. And having extra natural light makes the black tub pop.
Design blogger Sugar & Cloth added three Sun Tunnels to the main hallway in her home. With all that natural light she added design elements like a striped runner, wall paneling and artwork to transform it from forgotten pass-through to beautiful space.
Sun Tunnels transform this hallway into an art gallery. Interior designer Brian Patrick Flynn finished the look by painting the floor, walls and ceiling white to amplify the natural light.
