Selecting the Ideal Motorized Shades for Every Room

Motorized shades offer extreme convenience, making them among the most sought-after smart home systems. With one touch or voice command, you can raise or lower them from anywhere. From morning to night, they automatically adjust based on the time of day, activity, or the sun’s position. This precise control of natural light and effortless privacy enhances a home’s beauty, increases security, and reduces energy consumption. No wonder they're so popular! 

The good news is that whether you’re in the midst of a new build or a retrofit project, there is an ideal motorized shade for your situation. At Digital Home Systems, we partner with Lutron, an industry leader in lighting control. Their power options include wired and battery-operated, enabling every luxury homeowner in Greenwich, CT, to experience the profound impact of motorized shades. 

Here, we’ll explore how to choose the right shade system for your current needs, preferences, and space. 

Enhance Your Family’s Well-Being with Automated Window Coverings

According to the EPA, most people spend about 90% of their days indoors. This is a far cry from our ancient ancestors, who lived close to nature in mountains and fields. Now, we spend our time in offices, vehicles, and homes, air-conditioned indoor environments designed for comfort. 

But, with all this indoor living, a problem has emerged. As humans, we evolved outdoors. We woke with the sun and settled down to sleep as evening approached. This changing light and darkness played a significant role in our well-being. Sunlight entered our eyes in the morning, producing neurotransmitters that energized and enhanced our moods. Darkness settled in, and corresponding hormones elicited a sense of restfulness and relaxation. 

Essentially, we have a primal need for sunlight, moonlight, and outdoor living.

So, what does this have to do with motorized shades? Manual shades are usually raised in the early morning and lowered as the sun’s glare disturbs TV or computer screens or its direct rays increase the heat. And there they remain throughout the day, leaving your home and its inhabitants in Greenwich, CT, without the benefit of natural light.

Motorized shades change that. Let’s discover how.
