Bring Comfort, Convenience & Style Home with Motorized Blinds and Shades

Modern Living Made Simple with Smarter Shade Control

The comfort of a well-designed home extends far beyond furniture. It lives in the details behind your everyday routines. How can you bring comfort, privacy, and energy savings into harmony with the elegant design of your New Canaan, CT, home? Press a single button in the evening and watch every shade lower in quiet unison to create a warm and private retreat.

Automated blinds and shades elevate the way light interacts with each room. They guard interiors against harsh UV rays, reduce energy costs by balancing indoor temperatures, and replace cluttered cords with clean lines. Integrated with your smart home system, they work in concert with lighting, climate, and security for an intelligent environment tailored precisely to your lifestyle.

What Are the Biggest Benefits of Automated Blinds? 

Even though automated blinds and shades don’t immediately sound like the most exciting smart home upgrade, they’re one of the most popular among our New Canaan clients. Why is that? Because they offer the most lifestyle benefits. 

• Simpler Routines: Smart shading scenes make it easy to adjust the window coverings throughout your luxury home. For example, an “Evening” scene closes all shades at the end of the day to protect your family’s privacy. 
• Year-Round Comfort: Shades coordinate with your HVAC system to keep you comfortable. They close when hit by direct sunlight in the summer to eliminate heat gain and stay shut in the winter to better insulate your home. 
• Protection for interiors: By filtering harsh sunlight, blinds prevent fading and help preserve the look of your furnishings, flooring, and artwork. 
• Refined Design: Automated doesn’t mean clunky. Choose from a wide range of fabrics, finishes, and colors that align with your design preferences. Give your luxury home greater elegance with shades that move in unison to avoid disjointed looks. 
• Greater Safety: Cords and wands pose a safety risk for small children and pets. By replacing them with automated controls, you create a safer environment for the family. 

How Do Automated Blinds and Shades Work?

Automated blinds and shades make it easy to manage your home’s lighting, privacy, and climate without fussing with cords and wands. Instead, get control the way you want it. Choose from wall keypads, apps, voice commands, or dedicated touchpads. Lutron motorized shades include quiet motors, so you can confidently use their products in nurseries, theaters, and bedrooms. 

We recommend going further and taking advantage of custom scenes like the ones we mentioned before. A “Good Morning” scene, for example, slowly opens the shades when it’s time to wake to stir you awake. A “Movie” Scene closes the shades to eliminate glare on the screen as soon as you hit play. 

How Motorized Shades Integrate With Your Smart Home

Motorized shades and blinds work best when integrated with the rest of your smart home technology. By placing them within a larger Control4 smart home, you gain greater comfort and efficiency. They’ll sync with your lighting, HVAC, and security to create the perfect environment and better protect your property. 

Shades close when the thermostat hits a certain temperature threshold, lights dim automatically when shades open, and some blinds open and close to simulate activity. These are just some of the things you can do with professionally installed motorized window treatments.
