Is there such a thing as a no-compromise solution? In reality, there are very few, but we think we have one of them for you. If you’re thinking of custom window treatments for a new home, remodel, or just a little redecorating, we highly recommend (implore, plead, urge, beg) that you consider making them motorized. Why? We’ve written at length on this subject and think motorized window treatments are like sliced bread in the smart home. In all seriousness, the benefits in convenience, luxury, comfort, and efficiency will pay dividends for many years. 

But you might think, don’t motorized window treatments involve wiring and installation foibles? Interestingly, we find that misconception still exists. Wireless motorized shading is as easy to install as regular window treatments and requires no special maintenance.
