You just woke up and you’re trying to get started with your day, but nothing seems to be working. Coffee doesn’t taste right, your shower wasn’t satisfying enough, and motivation is just too hard to come by.
But then you open those blinds and shades, and everything changes.
The moment that natural light hits your skin, you start to feel that spark of energy you’ve been waiting for. So, you go around your house and start opening blinds one-by-one to set the mood for the rest of the day.
For some people, this is just another part of their daily routine.
For others, it feels like more of a chore that, while it doesn’t take that long, takes just enough time to feel like an inconvenience – especially for those of us who have 10+ shades or blinds to open every day.
If that sounds like you, then don’t worry – we have a solution for you.
And with that, we’d like to introduce you to motorized window shades.
Motorized Window Shades: Say Hello to the Future
Motorized window shades are revolutionizing the way we use and admire window treatments. They’re one of the newest advancements in window technology and they’re here to stay – whether you like it or not!
So, what are motorized window shades – and are they worth the investment?
Motorized window shades look the same and have the same purpose as any other window shade or blind – the only difference is that they’re motorized, meaning they can be controlled from a remote location.
With the push of a button or a click on the screen, smart blinds can be raised, lowered, or tilted to adjust the amount of light entering a room – either with a smartphone, remote control, or smart home system.
And to answer your question – yes, they are worth the investment. Here are five reasons why!
5. Convenience & Accessibility
One of the biggest benefits of having remote control blinds is how convenient they are. Within seconds, you can have all of (or some of) your window shades opened – bringing the natural light in.
- No more walking around the house opening and closing blinds
- If you forget to close the blinds, you can close them in the smartphone app
- One less chore to do during your morning and nighttime routines
- They make it easy to open and close blinds attached to hard to reach windows
If you have a lot of window shades in your home, motorized blinds can make your life easier in so many ways, allowing you to set the mood without having to physically do anything – which can be very empowering.
4. Versatility & Customization
Smart shades are also highly customizable. With today’s technology, you can adjust your presettings to open and close the battery-powered shades at certain times of the day – and even have settings for certain moods/vibes.
- You can have your smart shade open or close at certain times of the day
- You can have your blinds open or close based on how hot or cold it is outside or inside
- You can style your blinds to match the overall aesthetic of the room (roller shades, blackout shades, etc.)
- They’re easy to install when you have a professional by your side
Not only that, but they’re available in a wide range of styles, colors, shapes, and designs – much like any other type of window blind. And you can further enhance the aesthetic with a decorative window valance.
3. Energy Efficiency & Safety
You might be asking yourself, “How can motorized shades help me be more energy efficient if it’s using power?” but the answer lies in its ability to control the temperature and amount of light inside the home.
- They can help maintain a certain temperature during the day
- Less of a strain on your heating, venting, and air conditioning (HVAC) system
- Reduce your energy bill, while also minimizing the safety hazards in your home
If that’s not enough to convince you, it also eliminates the need for cords, strings, and wands – all of which can be a safety, choking, or strangulation hazard if you have children or small pets in the home.
2. Smart Home Integration
It’s 2024, and I know I’m not the only one who thinks smart home automation is the coolest thing ever. I mean, let’s be honest – some of the things you can do at the touch of your fingertip are pretty amazing.
- Continue your missing to turn your home into a smart home
- Integrate your motorized shades with other smart home devices
- Control your window shades with voice command and voice control features (Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Google Assistant, Samsung Smartthings, etc.)
In addition to integrating your motorized window treatments with your thermostat, smartphone, and home theatre, you can also integrate it with your smart lights, smart switches, and the home security system.
1. Improved Home Value
Anything that can increase the value of your home is considered a worthy investment – especially if you own the home and are planning on selling it soon. The bigger the profit, the bigger the smile on your face.
- Buyers wouldn’t mind paying extra for a home that already has motorized shades
- Buyers would show more of an interest in a home with motorized shades (than one without them)
- You’ll not only impress potential buyers, but your neighbors will be equally as impressed
Motorized window shades can increase your home’s value in two ways. Not only will it increase the actual value (price) of the home, but it’ll increase a pontial buyer’s perceived value of the home (extra incentive).
