Optimise your home office with more daylight and less glare

In a home office, roof windows bring in twice the daylight as vertical windows, plus fresh air that floods our brains with oxygen and encourages them to do their best work. Roof windows also give the gift of a beautiful view, offering glimpses of trees overhead or clouds as they fly by in the wind, that can be all we need for a little inspiration when work starts to get us down in the afternoon. 

VELUX makes a range of roof windows that are best suited for the home office, and are distinguished by features such as light control, noise reduction, and even glare control. Here are our top recommendations!

Manual top-hung window, type GPL 2057FR


For the home office, we recommend this top-hung window, which is convenient and easy to open if you have your desk next to the roof window, rather than up against it. That way, you can easily open and close the roof window from where you are sitting without interrupting your workflow. This roof window offers panoramic views, all while increasing your energy efficiency, providing natural ventilation to the home office, and increasing the amount of sunlight you enjoy, which means you can do your best work all day long. In general, we would recommend two of these roof windows for a home office of 10m2, three for 15m2, and four for a 20m2. See the price of the roof window here.

Three reasons for choosing this roof window: 

  • Panoramic view - gives you a full, open view of your skyline
  • Easy reach - bottom handle for convenient operation
  • More natural light - maximises the amount of natural daylight in your room

These clever pleated blinds greatly reduce glare, while offering increased privacy and diffused sunlight, so your office stays bright and sunny without inhibiting your ability to see your computer screen. Glare control is best achieved by our blinds, which is why we recommend these, so you can keep up you work while you sit in your home office. Their flying design allows you to position them however you would like, and they are quick and easy to install. Buy your pleated blind here.

Manual awning blind, type MHL

This awning blind is another product that offers reduced glare, while allowing daylight into the room. They also feature heat protection, which keeps your room cool and increases indoor comfort, which is essential for brains that need to operate on high gear. As long as your roof window is placed next to your desk in your home office, we recommend our manual blinds, however, you can also choose our automatic awning blinds if you expect to adjust your blinds several times a day.
