Designers throughout Springfield, MO, use window treatments as a go-to tool for interior decor. But for years, they’ve had to deal with the intrinsic challenges that come with them: cords that tangle, plastic wands that break, and shades that never sit at the same height. 

The good news for you and your interior designer is that motorized blinds and shades solve all these issues at once. With intuitive controls, you get rid of those pesky wands and cords. You can program shades to raise and lower in unison. And as an added perk, this one tech upgrade will also help to protect your beautiful art and furnishings from wear and tear.

A Final Goodbye to Cords and Wands 

With motorized shades, you choose how to manage them. Replace those annoying cords and wands with mobile apps, voice commands, or elegant on-wall keypads. And despite what many people think, these tech-savvy shades aren’t bulky. They come with pocket or recessed installations, with the shade roll and motors hidden inside the ceiling, or with a sleek fascia painted to match its surroundings. When fully open, shades and blinds disappear from view entirely. Aside from the minimalist aesthetic, getting rid of cords also eliminates a significant safety risk for young kids and pets, who often get tangled in them. 

Keep Your Shades On a Level Playing Field 

In showrooms and architectural magazines, shades are always perfectly aligned to create a luxury feel to the space. With manual shades, it’s really hard to accomplish. In rooms with multiple windows, shades are almost never at the same level. That creates a jagged, uneven look. 

Motorized blinds and shades move at the exact same speed and stop at the exact same space every time. Just use your control device of choice to choose the position you want, and you can expect reliable results every time. You’ll get better symmetry to make your rooms feel more cohesive and in line with your interior designer's vision. 

Protect Your Decor from Damaging UV Rays 

Bespoke interior designs include a lot of high-end flooring, custom upholstery, and artwork. All are sensitive to UV rays. With manual shades, it’s easy to forget to close them and subject all these items to sun bleaching and damage. 

Automated shades use schedules or sensors to close automatically when windows are hit by direct sunlight. You’re always a step ahead of those pesky UV rays—without even having to think about it or lift a finger. Technology takes care of it for you.
