19. Add a skylight

Some people prefer to have a skylight in their homes. This decor can bring in some much-needed sunlight for a dark space. It also helps to bring some light shining straight into your bed to encourage you to wake up at dawn. However, installing the skylight is a complicated process and should not be a DIY project. You will need to make a hole in the roof, install windows, and seal them properly to avoid leakage.

For anyone who is a curious DIY’er with no real professional experience, this project might be too much to handle. If this project is done incorrectly, it could lead to flooding, water damage, wood rot, and mold. And, of course, there’s always an opportunity to accidentally drop and break a window while you’re trying to balance on the roof. The good information is that if you hire a contractor, you get a warranty for both labor and the world. So if something goes wrong, it can be replaced for free.
