Everyday Convenience You’ll Actually Use

Let’s face it—some “smart” features sound great in theory but rarely get used. Motorized shades aren’t like that.

Here’s how they make your day-to-day life easier:

  • Wake up gradually with programmed shades that rise gently with the sun.
  • Reduce screen glare during Zoom calls or TV time—automatically.
  • Lower solar heat during peak afternoon hours to keep your home cooler.
  • Close everything at night with a single voice command or app tap.

Motorized shades integrate with your favorite platforms like Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit, so you’re not learning a whole new system—just upgrading what you already have.

Smart Shading Solutions for Every Room

Each room in your home serves a different purpose, so your high-tech window coverings should be tailored accordingly. Here’s how motorization can improve each space:

1. Bedrooms

Use motorized blackout roller shades to block morning light until you’re ready to wake up. Program them to rise gently as part of your morning routine.

2. Living Rooms

In large windows or patio doors, dual shades give you daytime privacy and natural light, while closing fully at night for comfort and security.

3. Kitchens

Busy cooking or cleaning? Lower your natural woven shades hands-free when the sun heats up the room.

4. Home Offices

Reduce glare with solar shades that adjust automatically based on time of day or brightness.

5. Bathrooms

Install cellular shades for privacy and insulation. Hard-to-reach windows are no longer a hassle when they’re motorized.

Safer for Kids & Pets

Loose cords on window treatments can be dangerous in homes with young children or pets. Motorized shades eliminate this risk with cordless operation, offering peace of mind alongside convenience and beauty.

In fact, cordless styles are not just safer—they’re cleaner and more modern in appearance. Whether you go with
sheer shades or structured shutters, motorization enhances both form and function.

Energy Efficiency Without the Effort

Want to cut down on your energy bills without constantly adjusting the blinds?

Motorized window treatments do the work for you. By programming shades to open during the warmest winter hours and close during hot summer afternoons, you can naturally regulate indoor temperatures and reduce strain on your HVAC system.

Try pairing cellular shades with automation for year-round savings and comfort.

Increase Your Home’s Value

Modern buyers love smart home upgrades. Motorized window treatments are considered a luxury upgrade and can increase the perceived value of your home.

Professionally installed Graber, Norman, or Alta motorized treatments show future buyers that your home is updated and well-maintained. It’s a small upgrade that delivers both daily enjoyment and long-term ROI.

Seamless Integration With Your Smart Home

Today’s motorized treatments are designed to work with the tech you already use. Whether you’re team Alexa, Google, or Siri, it’s easy to program schedules, automate room settings, or control your shades remotely.

Many of our products feature:

  • App control from your smartphone or tablet
  • Voice control through smart assistants
  • Scene setting to create ambiance with the touch of a button
  • Geofencing to automate based on your location
