Inspiration & Solutions
There are numerous benefits to installing motorized shades in your home. Find out how they are convenient, mood-boosting, and beautiful.
Ease into everyday routines with essential home automation tools like motorized shades. Especially in the winter, it feels great to maximize your connection with the outdoors and sunshine. By setting programming to the sunrise and sunset, you not only gain convenience and ensured privacy, you gain a better mood.
Hunter Douglas's Powerview® Automation optimizes energy efficiency with the touch of a button on a remote or a smart device such as a phone or tablet. It’s simple to integrate with your existing smart home assistants and software. You can also optimize the timing and settings to keep your house energy efficient and comfortable. No more drafty winter evenings or scorching summer days.
When motorized shades are programmed to optimize energy savings in the winter and summer months, studies have shown that homeowners can expect to save 10-20% annually in HVAC energy usage in the Mid-Atlantic region. Faded carpets, wall art and furniture can be frustrating. When automating window treatments, you can prioritize protecting your furnishings from sun damage even when you're not home.
At At Home Designs, safety is our number one priority. That is why we follow government guidelines when it comes to securing a home with cordless shades for children and pets. Motorized shades are a great option to eliminate this concern, and they provide parents and grandparents a tool to keep their window treatments safe.
Benefit #4: Added Accessibility in Aging
Motorized window treatments have wonderful benefits for people with accessibility needs. For many years to come, those who cannot reach cords, have difficult-to-reach windows, or open multiple window shades a day will greatly benefit from the freedom that motorized window treatments provide. Having a consistent shade routine of raising the shades every morning and closing them at night brings the outdoors in, providing light and sights to the world. It gives us a sense of wellbeing. This is essential for the thriving of aging adults and those with mobility needs.
Benefit #5: Simple Privacy & Security
Gain privacy and protect your property at a moment's notice with motorized shades. If your plans change and you're out for the night, or if you must schedule last minute travel, log in from anywhere in the world to close your shades.
Motorized shades are cordless, convenient, mood boosting and beautiful. We specialize in Hunter Douglas Smart Automation, and we would love to help you with your next project.
