Bedrooms

Wake up each morning gradually with the sunshine by programming your motorized shades to open when it’s time to rise. Circadian wellness reveals that your body will ease into the day more naturally, and you will be in a better mood when exposed to natural light gradually as you wake. In addition to these benefits, bedroom curtains are window treatments that may go through multiple open/close cycles throughout the day to assist with needed privacy, so automation can help save time.

Media Room

The media room or home theater is another room that benefits from motorized shades. Many homeowners prefer to watch movies in a dark environment. Adding automation that closes the curtains while the lights dim sets the perfect stage for entertainment enjoyment.

The sun’s glare can also cause disturbance when reflecting off a TV during a show, movie, live game, or video game. Quickly minimize the disruption by activating your automated shading option to eliminate the sun’s impact on viewing. 

Living Room 

In Texas, the sun’s heat is no joke. Allowing it to heat up your home throughout the day can increase the temperature by ten or more degrees! Instead, give your air conditioner a break by using automated shades to minimize the sun’s impact, keeping rooms cooler and protecting your family’s furniture, flooring, and artwork from the irreversible damage caused by long-term sun exposure.  

Additionally, you may pair motorized shades with a thermal sensor, which can automatically activate them when the room reaches a specific temperature. This automation helps maintain the temperature when you are away from home. Timers would be another great option to consider. 

Workout Room

You may not want outside eyes on you while you’re focused and sweaty, exercising in a workout space. This situation is another excellent opportunity to benefit from the privacy provided by motorized shades and their climate control impacts. When your flexing is complete, you may appreciate the ease of opening the curtains while you’re tired and cooling down. Instead of messing with curtain cords, the end of the workout can be a moment to breathe and take in the sunshine.
