Upgrade your living space

Are you tired of manually adjusting your blinds and shades every day? Or do you find yourself frustrated by the struggle to reach high-up or hard-to-reach windows?

Upgrade your living space with cutting-edge motorized blinds and shades that bring convenience and luxury right to your fingertips. Say hello to a seamless, automated experience that enhances the ambience of your home while maximizing your comfort and privacy.

What are motorized blinds and how do they work?

Motorized blinds are window treatments equipped with battery-powered motors that allow remote operation without manual adjustment. The motor system is built into the headrail or cassette, making it virtually invisible when installed.
Here’s what you get with every motorized blind:

  • A small, quiet motor tucked inside the headrail
  • A handheld remote (like your TV remote, but for blinds!)
  • Rechargeable batteries that last 12-18 months
  • The ability to set your blinds to open and close automatically

Want to control them with your phone or voice? You can add a small device called a hub that connects to your WiFi, and then you’re all set to say “Hey Google, close the living room blinds” or adjust them from anywhere using an app.

Why choose motorized blinds and shades?

No more daily blind battles

Motorized blinds eliminate the morning routine of walking around adjusting every window. Instead, you can program them to open gradually as you wake up, or close them all at once when you’re settling in for movie night.

Great for high or hard-to-reach windows, heavy blinds, homes with many windows, or anyone with mobility challenges.

Safer for kids and pets

No cords means no safety hazards for curious kids or playful pets. Traditional blind cords can be dangerous, but motorized blinds eliminate this worry completely. Parents tell us this peace of mind alone makes the investment worthwhile.

Save money on energy bills

Smart scheduling helps your home stay comfortable without cranking the heat or air conditioning. Your blinds can automatically close during the hottest part of summer days to keep cool air in, open on sunny winter mornings to let natural warmth in, adjust throughout the day to reduce glare without blocking all the light, and work with your smart thermostat to optimize your home’s temperature

Better home security

When you’re away, motorized blinds can make it look like someone’s home. Set them to open and close at different times each day, neighbors and potential intruders will think you’re just going about your normal routine.

  • Grouping multiple blinds to operate together
  • Integration with other smart home devices

How much do motorized blinds and shades cost?

Motorized blinds typically cost more (usually $ 150 more per blind) than their manual equivalents because of the motor and the added installation work. What you pay depends on:

  • Window size and how many windows you’re covering
  • Blind or shade material
  • Motor type, standard or premium
  • Control system, from a basic remote to full smart home integration
  • Whether you add a WiFi hub
