What Rooms are Best for Motorized Window Treatments?
Motorized shades, blinds, and shutters add luxury and convenience to almost any room, but our Cindy's Window Fashions design experts tend to suggest them for certain rooms. We typically associate the ease of operation and other features with specific spaces, and our clients often agree. That doesn’t mean you’re limited to particular rooms, of course, but we’ve chosen our top three to get you thinking.
1. Family Room Motorized Window Treatments
Family rooms can have large windows or multiple window configurations that can be hard to adjust manually throughout the day. Motorized blinds and shades let you quickly adapt lighting conditions for different activities: brightening the space for reading, dimming for movie nights, or creating the perfect ambiance for entertaining.
PowerView® Automation serves its purpose well when paired with Duette® Cellular Shades in living areas. The honeycomb construction provides excellent insulation, while the motorized operation provides consistent positioning across multiple windows. This combination creates a unified appearance and maintains optimal room temperature throughout changing seasons.
2. Bedroom Motorized Window Treatments
What better way to improve sleep hygiene than through motorization? Anyone who wakes up unwillingly at dawn because of sunlight pouring into the room will appreciate a new convenience. Believe us, bedrooms are the perfect candidates for elegant motorized shades with room-darkening capabilities.
Vignette® Roman Shades with PowerView® Automation easily check this box. The single fabric panels cover windows beautifully, in your choice of luxury fabrics. Upgrade to Vignette® Duolite® Shades, which offer a light-filtering or sheer front shade with a built-in room-darkening back panel.
That option is available exclusively in the Rolling Style with 6” flat folds and PowerView® Automation. You can program this window covering to open, close, or adjust at different times of day, or use the remote, app, or voice commands, on the spot.
3. Kitchen Motorized Window Treatments
Kitchens are hard-working spaces, hosting everything from casual breakfasts to large holiday dinners. Flexible light solutions help, and nothing does this better than PowerView® Automation. But kitchens can get hot and humid; food and drink splashes are common. Which Hunter Douglas window covering withstands all of that?
Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters are a modern kitchen window treatment, with traditional styling and modern materials. Made from Hunter Douglas Polysatin™ material, aluminum bracing, and resin blocks, they resist the elements and clean up nicely with impressive durability. By adding automation to your shutters, you can quickly adjust them to your desired level and get back to what matters most.
Other Areas to Add Motorized Shades and Blinds
Rooms with high windows on walls, skylights, or windows positioned behind furniture are also good candidates for motorization. Those situations typically require stepstools, ladders, or awkward reaching, creating safety concerns and discouraging regular adjustments. And since PowerView® Automation is cordless, it eliminates safety hazards; people with mobility challenges also benefit from this easy-to-use system.
