We’re Doing It AGAIN: The VELUX Brighter Days Makeover Giveaway 2025…Could It Be You???

I’m extremely excited to once again give a free room makeover to (hopefully) one of you. Quite possibly my favorite part of my job and what I really live for. As a massive skylight fan, I can tell you that the natural light and fresh air that VELUX skylight systems bring in can really transform your experience in your home (and not just in summer). We have done two free makeovers in the past, and VELUX is offering another one – the VELUX Brighter Days Makeover – and I really want one of my readers to win it!

As a reminder, you would get a room totally redone – including my design services, furniture and decor budget, installation, and of course, the right amount and size of skylight systems for your room. We’ll work with you to make sure we meet your needs and wants, and then of course surprise you with the design 🙂 You can submit any room (remember that it can’t have a room above it), and there are some rules/regulations and stipulations that VELUX explains over on the sweepstakes landing page. I am personally hoping for a kitchen (cosmetic, not remodel), living room, family room, or office makeover as I’m obsessed with my skylights in my kitchen and in our sunroom, where I write all day. And we always love a good feel-good story, so tell us about yourself 🙂

See? The transformation can be pretty incredible, and it’s work that I’m so proud to be a part of. You simply need to take photos of the before and write up what a skylight and room makeover would mean to you and your life. We likely wouldn’t install til after the holidays (just in case you are like me and the next few months can get cuckoo with holiday stuff). Any style and any location in the US welcome!

So, look around your home. Is there a room that is dark and neglected but has potential? It doesn’t have to be vaulted like ours; VELUX installers can create a drywall shaft that brings the light down from the roof into the room.

In case you are wondering, all skylight systems are now installed with room-darkening shades, and the size and orientation will be specific to your home, ceiling, and roofline, determined by the professionals. They are operated by remote or app, are solar-powered, and move so seamlessly. We are currently putting two in Kaitlin’s bathrooms (one with zero natural light), and it makes such an incredible difference – trust me.

You could also be like me and put them in rooms that also have windows to add even more natural light and a sense of bright, airiness at all times (which is especially wonderful in the PNW in the winter).

So head over to the VELUX Brighter Days Makeover sweepstakes page and enter before October 31! VELUX will be vetting and picking a winner, but I personally would LOVE it to be a loyal blog reader, so definitely mention that you are a long-time follower (if that’s true :)). It’s especially rewarding to do these makeovers when I know that someone has invested time in me and my team – it’s such a fun way to return the love. xx

Anyone else having issues with the link to the sweepstakes? I’m getting a “403 Forbidden

Can’t get in. Does that mean I already won, Emily? I am old and have probably followed your blog longer than anyone. I think I deserve it. Ha.

Who better to run this contest than someone who put seventeen skylights in their house! It’s a match made in heaven. I would guess I can’t enter because I’m in Canada, but I’m still going to check out that link.

I don’t know if I really want the skylights- even though they’d be lovely- but in Montana with lots of snow it would worry me a bit!
However I’d love the whole room (living/entry) redone, can I just sign up for that? 😉
Anyhow, excited to see the transformation of whoever wins!

Agreed, I’m also wary of letting in the high summer sun and not the low winter sun (seems like the opposite of what I’d want for energy efficient house hearing/cooling), though I do love the look!

Bring on the light!! I own “Styled by Emily Henderson” and have been a longtime blog reader and EH style adopter, but in a cool way, not in a stalker way ;). I just submitted my entry. Pick me, pick me!! 🙂

I was so excited and filled out the form and COMPLETELY forgot to add a line about being a follower of the blog for YEARS!!! Sooooo, how do I add that on the flip side?:)
