How to Customize Your Home with Motorized Shades

There are many ways to personalize your home. From custom wall finishes and flooring to furniture and window treatments, your home should reflect your style and sense of aesthetics. One way to show off your style (and your techy side, too) is with custom motorized shades. 

Your Buckhead, GA, home likely has many windows of differing sizes and shapes. For example, you may have bay windows in a living room or bedroom, clerestory windows in a tall living area, or a wall of glass windows that open to the outside. One way to customize the look and improve the utility of your home is with customized window treatments. There are styles to suit almost every window! Learn about three of them you might not know about below.

Motorized Curtains and Drapes

If you love the look of classic drapes, you’ll love the convenience of motorization. Drapes can be heavy and difficult to manipulate. Motorized drapes replace cords, pulls, and pulleys with motors that hide discreetly and wireless remote operation. You won’t have to touch your curtains or drapes to close or open them. Just press a button on a remote control, custom wall keypad, or an app on your phone to let the light in or gain complete privacy. Classic decor meets technology – what a perfect marriage. 

Skylights

Do you have a skylight that lets in too much sun at certain times of the day? You might be surprised to know that you can manage that sunlight with a motorized shade. A skylight is going to be up high where normal controls won't be reachable, so a motorized solution is the answer. Tensioned shades keep the shade's form as it opens and closes. Tensioning even works for fully horizontal applications! So if you want to add a skylight to an older kitchen or some other area, go ahead – you can manage the light anytime with a motorized shade. Depending on the sun exposure, a wide array of fabrics are available with different levels of transparency for light filtering. 

Managing Temperature

Have a room that is either too hot or too cold because of its exposure or insulation? Windows are a big source of heat gain through the sun and heat loss through glass. Honeycomb shades are excellent for their insulating properties, helping to keep cooler air inside in summer and warmer air in during the winter. Of course, when you want them open or closed, you can do so via remote control, schedules, or even triggered by the temperature in the room. 

Smart Home Automation

The best way to truly personalize your home with motorized window treatments is to integrate them with smart home automation. A smart home system can coordinate your shades, lights, temperature control, and even entertainment to work in unison to create more comfortable and inviting living environments. And you can personalize all these elements for a truly custom home.
