A Complete Guide by OAK ARCHITECTURE & INTERIOR
Natural light has the power to transform a home. It makes spaces feel more welcoming, energised, spacious, and luxurious. At OAK ARCHITECTURE & INTERIOR, we believe a well-designed, naturally lit home isn’t just beautiful — it also improves your health, boosts mood, and reduces energy costs.

1. Smart Home Orientation (Most Important Step)
At OAK ARCHITECTURE & INTERIOR, we begin every project by analysing the sun path and orientation of your site.
What we recommend:
• East-facing windows for bedrooms — fresh morning sunlight.
• North-facing glazing for living & dining areas — balanced daylight throughout the day.
• South glazing for colder regions — natural warmth.
• Minimal west-facing windows — to avoid harsh afternoon heat.
Proper orientation ensures energy efficiency + visual comfort all day long.

2. Bigger, Better and Smarter Windows
Windows are the heart of daylight design.
Our preferred options:
• Floor-to-ceiling glass
• Sliding glass doors
• Corner windows
• Picture windows
• Skylight-inspired vertical glazing
We use low-E, double-glazed, or heat-resistant glass for maximum light with controlled heat gain.

3. Open Floor Plans That Let Light Travel
Walls block light. That’s why our layouts promote open, breathable spaces.
How we do it:
• Combine living + dining + kitchen
• Use glass partitions instead of solid walls
• Keep hallways aligned with windows
• Position furniture in ways that don’t block light paths
The result? Spacious interiors that feel connected and bright.

4. Add Skylights and Roof Windows
Skylights bring 3X more daylight than regular windows.
Perfect for:
• Staircases
• Bathrooms
• Kitchens
• Corridors
• Pooja rooms
• Internal courtyards
We design skylights with UV protection, ventilation options, and heat control for your comfort.

5. Use Reflective and Light-Friendly Interior Materials
Interior finishes greatly influence how light behaves.
Materials we recommend:
• Light paint colours
