Can you imagine walking into your Magnificent Mile penthouse, pressing a button, and completely changing the ambiance, night or day? That’s the magic of motorized shades, which can reveal a gorgeous sunset over Lake Michigan or the twinkling lights of the Chicago skyline. Motorized shades are functional window treatments, but also so much more. Explore the many ways motorized shades can elevate your lifestyle below.
Imagine waking up to the first rays of sunshine peering in through shades slowly rising. As the day progresses, your window coverings automatically raise and lower, letting in the diffuse light of the sun that brings beauty and natural light while limiting the direct UV rays that harm furniture and floors. Your electric light responds, dimming and brightening based on the available daylight. When it’s time for the family dinner, one tap on a touchscreen lowers the shades in perfect unison, offering privacy.
A life of luxury.
Motorized shades offer ease of living and convenience once unimaginable. No more pulling on cords to close shades when the sun shines on your computer screen or missing another sunset because you’re preoccupied. We can program shades to raise and lower based on preset schedules or set up sensors that detect changes in temperature and direct sunlight. The result is the perfect environment and level of light throughout the day.
Even better? Today’s motorized shades come in numerous styles and over 1,000 fabrics, enhancing any home’s aesthetics.
