Banishing the Top 3 Misconceptions About Motorized Shades

What’s stopping you from making the switch to motorized shades in your Dallas, TX, home? Instead of wrestling with tangled, cumbersome strings, you could set shades to the perfect level with the press of a button. Instead of running back and forth through the house to open and close shades, you could schedule blinds to raise or lower at specific times of the day.

1. They’re Only Available for Certain Windows

Motorized shades rise to the challenge of covering small or large windows, oddly shaped windows, and everything in between. At Custom Media, we’ll help you find treatments for floor-to-ceiling window walls, angled windows, skylights, arches and circle windows, bay windows, corner windows, and even French doors. 

Not only do motorized blinds have options for all shapes and sizes, but automated treatments are infinitely more convenient for high, large, and oddly shaped windows. Instead of wrestling with cords in hard-to-reach places, simply press a button to raise or lower any covering you desire.

2. They Have Limited Style Options

This myth may have been correct at one point in time, but as motorized shade technology has improved and expanded, so have design and style options. Today, you can choose from a selection of roller shades, drapery, honeycomb shades, solar shades, roman shades, vertical shades, and shutters — whatever style matches your interiors. 

And that’s not all. Select from hundreds of color options, fabrics, and materials, textures, and opacities. With so many choices available, you’re guaranteed to find a solution that matches your aesthetics.   

3. They’re “Just Window Coverings”

They’re just window coverings, what’s the big deal? We see this mindset a lot from homeowners. But automated window treatments add a great deal of value to your home. They allow you to control natural light inside via an automated schedule, the sun’s position, or your personal preferences. They help regulate the indoor temperature by providing better insulation for your home– which in turn saves you money on heating and cooling costs. They protect your artwork, couches, carpets, and wood floors from fading and sun damage. And finally, they complement your style and interior design to create more attractive indoor spaces.
